our first dive (only a sugestion) is at the famous shipwreck of the hilma hooker. This is a dive to a depth of 30m/90feet so only for divers with a fitting certification. If there are snorkelers joining the excursion they will be able to find some shallow reefs perfect for snorkeling very close to the divesite as well.

The iconic scenery of the pink salt lakes is a beautiful sight to see. This is also an option for a great dive. Or we can just snorkel for a little bit since there are always plenty of turtles to be found in the shallows acros the street from the pink salt lakes
