Snorkel trips on boats from resorts are almost always with PADI or SSI qualified snorkelling guides. Inflatables can be requested by those not confident in the water.

Our resorts all have equipment for hire should you wish to avoid carrying snorkelling gear on your travels. However, it is nice to know your mask doesn't leak and your flippers are comfortable.
