At least one professional guide remains in the water throughout the excursion to show you the site and provide support, making this a strong choice for people trying snorkeling for the first time.

THE GEAR

All essential snorkel kit provided

The operator supplies fins, mask and snorkel for every participant, though you are welcome to use your own equipment if you prefer.
