“No dolphins that day”

We went on a day trip in September with Pioneer Divers, the day was very good overall. The boat ride was not too long, the lunch provided was not at all bad. Drinks were included also.

We were the first boat to get there so had a good view of whole area. Sadly we did not get top see any dolphins.

We snorkled anyway both in the morning and after lunch. In the morning we were dropped off by zodiac at the edge of the swimmers only area, snorkled in as far as we could go and then headed back towards the main boat under our own steam. The views were fantastic, even though the water was about 12 meters deep. We saw a turtle, a lion fish, a number of rays and plenty of other fish. While the swim back was quite far the time seemed to fly past and we were back before we knew it.

During lunch we were lucky enough to see two or three turtles stick their heads up near our boat and lots of fish swimming around the boat.

After lunch we were taken out by the zodiac to a deeper area with a lot more reef to look at. Unfortunatly we had a bad experience because the water really was too deep for my wife and she panicked. It took the zodiac much longer than I would have liked to come and pull us out of the water. BUT if you are okay in deep water (with bouyancy aid) and don't mind having coral all around you it would have been a great place to snorkle.

On other days people were lucky and saw lots of dolphins but it was not to be our day, which is a shame as I think (don't quote me) it cost us $150 between us for the day.

To sum up, we had a good day, has the potential to be a great day and the highlight of your stay.
