Pro Tips from the Locals
💡Book at least a day in advance — especially during peak season (December–April).
💡Bring your own snorkel gear for the best fit, or confirm gear is included in your rental.
💡Ask about fuel policies — some rentals include fuel, others charge separately.
💡If you're not experienced, opt for a captained rental — the captain knows the best spots and safest routes.
💡Download offline maps — cell service can be spotty around St. John's east end.
