We enjoyed snorkeling with Stressless Tours and found the trip to be enjoyable and stressless. Our captain, Edwardo, and his assistant, Josh, made the experience memorable.

Don't wear jewelry when snorkeling! Also, if one dive shop doesn't offer what you want, check out others. Ramon's seemed to have the most options.
