Its all provided, plus if you fancy trying Scuba equipment they also provide this but you can only stay on the suface of the water.

Enjoy

is there an extra fee to pay to enter the reef?

[Kazzie]

No Angela, no extra fee[msnsmile]

I believe that there may be a small charge if you do the Scuba Diving to compensate for the Air in the Tanks.. Can't remember how much.

But as said above the snorkelling is completley free.

The Water is rather Cold

My 6 year old daughter and I did this last summer, she had never snorkelled before but insisted she wanted to do it! Be prepared for the cold salt water, it is a bit shocking! My Daughter did panic once we started swimming not sure if it was due to the cold or the sharks! You are told to raise your arm if there is a problem which I did, and within a second you have a lifeguard with you (there are loads of lifeguards in the water watching all the time), he aided my Daughter accross on a float and she loved it!! We are out again in March and she wants to do it again!

This is a great experience. My sister in law hates getting her face wet agreed to have a go. Although she was slightly worried at first the thrill of seeing the sea life below her was enough to get her through it. Later this month when they go on holiday to Cuba she is going to have a go at scuba diving - something she never thought she would do.

Though a wonderful expereince Angela, please be prepared for a brief experience!! It can be a little bit production line at times. You can go through as many times as you like, worth it all[8D]

2 of my girls love doing this. The first time they did it my youngest had to be helped out as she got into a bit of a panic but the following year she loved it so much she went 9 times in 1 day. I haven't managed to do it myself yet[msnsad]
