The pestering by noise from the planes ( seaplanes) and diving or schnorche …  read more

We were mainly for snorkelling on the island Bandos. Unfortunately there were only two accesses for snorkelling. At low tide, you could otherwise not over the reef roof as the sea too down is. Several hooks would be an advantage, the reef not to hurt. You had a bungalow on the right side, so you had to in spite of the small island really beautiful long walk. In the afternoon it was very nice in the sunset bar. There was the meeting place for chat and snorkel experience exchange with nice people. … read more
