Snorkeling

I participated in one of the snorkeling trips last year and really enjoyed it. I asked the guys on our boat if I could snorkel naked, I was told if there were no children on any of the nearby boats it was OK. We got to the reef, looked around, only one boat close and all adults so I got to snorkel naked. It was great!

Where you go on each trip is up to the 'boat boy' (who knows the waters and the winds) and the experience of the swimmers. From time to time you may be taken on a longer trip -- by negotiation.

The reef out front is now way overused with too many people swimming vertically and hitting the coral with fins. If you are lucky the boat crew may swim with you and show you sea-life you would not notice -- they know the waters.

Almost always a good trip and a GoPro moment or two. Most 'dives' are exactly 30 minutes and run on time (if the boat is working). What you wear (or don't wear) is up to you -- nobody to tell you differently.

Enjoy
