The crew are PADI dive instructors and expert snorkel guides who know the island inside out and have lived here for decades.

After each snorkel stop, you're treated to tasty snacks and ice-cold drinks served throughout the entire trip. Lunch is included, along with all snorkeling equipment and beach towels. The charter is private and reserved exclusively for your group, so you set the pace and the crew personalizes the experience to fit what you want to see.
