Comments	First non diving trip, now snorkeling only. Three days of two or three snorkeling dives. Three days of shore dives on light snorkeling package. Great reefs, great small fish, some tuna, bonito, lots of schools of exotic reef fish. Turtles common. No sharks. No big rays. Scorpionfish, crocodile flatfish, lots of life to see. Wished guide would slow down. The best experience was when we would stop and watch gobi shrimp digging their den or large shrimp roaming the reef. Outstanding service all around, on the boat and in the resort. I enjoyed the behind the scenes tour and the village tour. 250 employees to run this resort. Food was very good. They are building a new restaurant building, we were fine with present arrangement. Reverse osmosis water filtering for drinking water. (Do not drink the water in Bali where you need to overnight!)
