Equipment to bring
You will just need your belongings for the day and your water bottle, which you can put in a waterproof container (provided).

A good pair of sneakers, a swimsuit under your wetsuit, and a towel to dry off afterward. We strongly advise against using neoprene water shoes. Their smooth soles make them dangerous to use in canyons.
