Notes from divers

Traveler

Came hoping for turtles, and it delivered. The 20 m visibility kept everything sharp.

Instructor

Solid choice for intermediate divers. With a range down to 35 m there's room to work without pushing boundaries.

Really enjoyed it. Just watch your buoyancy when you drop in.
