So many fish and corals. Then we drove to another spot where there were a couple dolphin swimming around. We hit one more snorkel spot which wasn't quite as good as the first. Then we stopped on a cool sandbar for photos. Refreshments and fresh fruit were served also. The captain, snorkel guide, and photographer were all very nice guys.”
