Snorkel Trips!
Our operation also offers awesome snorkel day trips for those who would like to see some of our beautiful coral reef and marine life, without the requirement of scuba gear and depth. Snorkelers can enjoy year-round conditions that include warm water, little to no current and shallow corals to see. One of our snorkel guides will make it safe and fun for you, tell you more about the reef and animals that live there and even the basics on how to freedive.
​

Our dive operation is based out of Blue Apple Beach Club, and we will head straight there to get geared up and then travel by boat to one or two sites to snorkel.
