Conditions, currents, and rules vary by location.<\/li><li><strong>Respect protected areas<\/strong>: Many sites are within marine parks. Anchoring may be restricted, and only certified guides may lead dives. Book authorized trips if unsure.<\/li><li><strong>Be eco-conscious<\/strong>: Avoid touching marine life, use reef-safe sunscreen, and never take anything from the sea\u2014except memories and photos.<\/li><li><strong>Plan your dive<\/strong>: Always dive with a buddy, watch your depth and time, and be aware of your no-decompression limits.<\/li><li><strong>Mind your timing<\/strong>: Wait 12\u201324 hours after diving before flying or ascending to high altitudes (including mountain roads).
