You can tell that he really likes what he does and not just doing it for the money. We saw a turtle surfacing the water but unfortunately we couldn't go near it as it was located near a protected area of the sea. Nonetheless, the overall experience was espectacular. He took us to a safer area to do our snorkeling as the waves were getting rough. He took pictures and videos in his GoPro. He will even lend it to you as you snorkel.…”
