What gear do I really need for snorkeling, and can I rent it?

You'll want a good-quality mask, snorkel, and fins for the best experience. While some people prefer to bring their own gear for comfort, many local shops offer rental options that are well-maintained.

• In addition to basic gear, consider a wetsuit for warmth and protection from sunburn, especially if you're snorkeling for long periods.

• Don't forget about accessories like a dry bag for your valuables or an underwater camera to capture the amazing sights!
