Know the fishing, snorkeling and diving rules... Most of the area is a
NO_TAKE zone.

Watch the wind direction and anchor accordingly

Bring an extra bottle of Rum or two (Nothing pricey) you can trade it to
the commercial fisherman who anchor in here for Lobsters, snapper,
grouper etc at an AMAZING trade rate. (I got 6 lobsters one time for
1/2 bottle of Rum)

Bring EVERYTHING and extra stuff as well... nothing available on the
island.

You will need a dingy or a kayak or some other way to get from the
anchorage to the island as there is no permanent dockage for non-tour
boats. You can dump your group, anchor out and take a kayak in but you
can't leave your boat and tour the Island

Have fun
