Experience: due to current weather conditions and waves the ocean floor was murky. Couldn’t really get a great view of everything. I went with my wife and kids. If you have younger children I would recommend going with the Jet option my youngest that’s 10 was struggling and overall the area was very crowded with how big our group was and all the other snorkel companies and even those who were scuba diving. I think with better weather conditions and a smaller group most likely recommend staying…”
