For my first time it was a beautiful experience. I got to see a shark right underneath me snorkelling took a take 2 and freaked myself a little and simply moved back to where the colourful fish were hahaha Next time I'll not freak out now I know reef shark a pretty harmless. Overall an experience I look forward to doing again but for longer half day isn't long enough to take the entire island in.
