You go to different spots to both snorkel and dive and can swim through swarms of different fishes - we even seen turtles! Nice changing facilities, comfortable both and tasty lunch afterwards! Would definitely recommend diving here over in Dubai / Jumeriah! Driver was also amazing - really friendly and flexible. Because of Dubai traffic, pick up and drop off can be long but this can’t be helped. 5 ⭐️ stars, would recommend!”
