**** The operator is new to us so we can only rely on what they tell us. They promise that they can offer decent snorkeling but not every site is suitable for snorkeling and diving at the same time. So we ask for some flexibility on your part to help us. Email trips@singledivers.com to chat with Kamala and/or call her at 864-557-6079 to be sure this is right for you.  NOTE:  The price difference is not much because you go out on the boat like everyone else so we will handle the price reduction via a coupon you will book with. Talk to us to get this coupon

Tom thanks for the heads up, we are tracking extra nights based on flight details in hand and have your extra night noted already.

As you know we typically include the Extra Nights Information as the first item under Add Ons, based on what we have so far I can go ahead and get that included in the next day or so
