Fantastic day out. We saw a turtle, an octopus, and millions of incredible fish. It was so worth it. I had read a lot of the reviews complaining that you only have half an hour snorkelling but we were in the first snorkelling group of the day and when we finished we just went and hired a snorkel, mask and fins and went by ourselves for a few hours. It was nice going with a guide first to get an idea of the area. It was only a short swim out to the wrecks from the beach and as long as you are beachside of the wrecks the swell and currents were not an issue at all. The amazing colourful fish were only congregated around the wrecks. There were just normal fish as soon as you were over the regular sea floor so it is definitely worth going to the wrecks. Beautiful area to swim. Plenty of food options but it is not clear what is available, you have to go and have a good look inside each resort area.
