Best Snorkelling Day Tour Companies? (5 Replies)

Hi all, Which are the best day tour companies for snorkelling? Most of the reviewed companies on TA cater more for scuba divers, rather than snorkellers, although, I know some offer both. I have already contacted 100 Degrees East, who I've seen have been recommended around here more recently for snorkelling. I've also contacted a few other companies mentioned on TA (like Live and Let Dive, Calypso Diving, and The Dive Academy), but, are there other reputable companies worth considering?...More
