When in the Water
When swimming in the ocean be mindful of sudden currents especially during the monsoon season and keep an eye out for red flags which mean the waters aren’t safe. While snorkelling or walking along the ocean floor watch out for broken coral; additionally, wear a life jacket when enjoying water sports in Koh Samui.
Sun Protection

Bring plenty of sunscreen that is SPF 30 or higher and ideally, the product should be reef friendly. Additionally, having a sunhat and polaroid sunglasses help too.
