Comments	You dive off a platform, rigged for maximum snorkeling, with a surface "submarine ride" and facilities for scuba. My non-diving spouse had a great time snorkeling while took a scuba dive. This is great for families or beginning divers - lots of fish, including big friendlies that are looking to be fed. Had to wait on the dive platform for ~10 minutes while one gal had ear problems and had trouble with the first 10 feet of the dive. Reef looked fairly good, lots of fish, giant clams and even small shark. Lunch was served and then we rode back to the port (about an hour) watching school of tuna jumping and feeding on baitfish.
