As for the snorkelling, it was surprising good, still lots of live beautiful corals n many colourful fish n we also spotted 2 sea turtles medium n small sizes. Glad we did this trip n Will definitely do it again. The only down side was the congested traffic it was very unbearable but all worth it in the end.”
