2.00Beware Beware. If you’re planning on snorkeling with turtles be careful with this company. They are not helpful at all. They spoke mostly to each other and besides being to told the rules they guys weren’t helpful. One of my fellow snookers was having a panic attack in the water and they weren’t paying any attention. If your going off a vibe, pick a different company as all I can say is people teach you be there actions and I would have appreciated a little camaraderie but alas they 3 guys were very off putting.
Excellent scenic swim
