Snorkeling at Manly - My instructor Sam was so nice. It was my first time snorkeling, but I met a lot of fish. The sea is very beautiful and I could feel from the Guides that you are trying to protect this environment.

Bad customer service. - We did not go do to the weather conditions it was a rainy cold day. We were refused a refund or a re schedule. Who wants to snorkel or go on a nature walk in the rain.
