This tour was absolutely fantastic. We were picked up on time right from our hotel lobby by our tour guide Imran. Imran was our taxi driver, our snorkel guide and our friend for the duration of this tour. We mainly booked this tour to see sea turtles, the addition of scooters was an interesting plus. Never used one before, now I'm not sure I can snorkel again without one :-) Imran was great. As mentioned, we were picked up on time, in an air condition van and driven right to our snorkel location. The location itself is well maintained and a great location to get familiar with your gear (mask, snorkel, fins) as well as your scooter. Imran's directions were clear, quick and in no time we made our way to the water. No boat, you walk in right off the shore which was great. Imran made sure everyone's gear worked before we left, which was great, and then off we went. The scooters are super easy to use and make snorkeling a breeze. It's great for someone who is not a great swimmer as the machine does the work for you. For those that are great swimmers, the scooters are fun. They help you move through the water with ease, dive, surface, whatever you want. We made our way out to sea, the visibility was minimal close to shore but we still spotted two turtles. As we made our way further our the visibility increased. We saw a ship wreck, a coral farm, tons of fish and five sea turtles. The turtles was my main reason for taking this tour and it did not disappoint. Watching them underwater, watching them surface for air, it was an amazing experience. Diving with this scooter limits the amount of energy you need to put into snorkeling. The equipment was great, we wanted to see tulles and did, and Imran was fantastic. I can't recommend this tour enough.
