What to expect
Expect a relaxed pace aboard a well-maintained vessel with restroom access. Your guide will brief you before entering the water, then lead small groups to sheltered bays and wreck sites where visibility is typically good. The three hours splits between boat transit and time in the water—rarely more than 45 minutes continuous swimming at any one spot. Water temperature varies seasonally, so the supplied wetsuit matters. You'll surface frequently to rest and spot wildlife from the boat between dives.
Good to know
You must be a competent unassisted swimmer. The tour isn't suitable for people with spinal injuries or serious heart conditions. Moderate fitness is essential—snorkelling involves sustained effort even with flotation aids. Public transport reaches the departure point. Bring sunscreen and a towel.
