Here comes a little help to all snorkeling lovers or beginers who planning to do some adventures with us.

First of course you have to make sure using the right equipment in the water. Always recommended if you have your own gear but if you don’t no worries. On our boat high quality snorkeling gear available in all sizes for free of charge.
Mask Cleaning: Scrub a mask inside of the glass lens with plain white toothpaste to remove dirt. Use a tooth brush to remove any toothpaste stuck in the corners.
If you forgot that at home here comes the next TIP: Spit into your clean dry mask, rub it around rinse it and go. And or course you can buy many great anti de-fog product in your local scuba shop. About the fins make sure they not to small (can hurt you in short time) or not to slack (can give a cramp to your foot)
For Your Safety: DO NOT TOUCH anything in the water. Unless you can catch a fish.
Snorkeling Sites:
- Tintamarre Island: one of the most popular snorkeling site . Almost guaranteed you will bump into some Turtles while you there. Lots of tropical fish and a nice small reef which you can easily access from the beach. A must see one.
