What First-Time Floaters Ask Us Most

After enough walkthroughs you learn exactly which questions arrive and in what order. Here they are.

Will I drown?

No. Eleven inches of water, and a salt solution denser than you are. Falling asleep is common and uneventful.

Do I have to close the door?

No. It can stay open the whole time, with the light on. Nothing locks.

What do I wear?

We recommend nothing — seams become distracting. Every suite is private with its own shower. A swimsuit is fine if you would rather; bring your own.

What if I get salt in my eyes?

There is a spray bottle of fresh water inside every tank. It stings, you flush it, it stops.

How clean is the water?

Everyone showers first. Three filtration systems — ozone, UV and particle — with ozone and UV running continuously between sessions, and a full cleaning cycle before the next guest.

What if I hate it?

You can end a session at any point; just shower off and let us know. Almost nobody does, but knowing you can is usually what makes the first one easy.
