We started off the day by discovering neither myszlf nor my friend could scuba due to medical conditions (asthma for her, diabetes for me) which was a real bummer at first. However the snorkeling was so fantastic I didnt even miss it. The staff said to let viator know so they could refund that portion, but they refunded it to me the next day without me even having to ask! The helicopter ride was amazing as well and all of the staff were so friendly and helpful.
