**** 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

Kamala - I know this is weird but something to celebrate - February 11th, I turn 70 years old - 7 decades on this earth.

Even better, this is my first trip since February 2025 (Antarctica) as I had 2 knee replacements - August 2025 & November 2025. Im so excited to travel again with a pair of good knees.

For me, this is a reason to celebrate 🥳🥳🥳🛫🛫🛫🥂🥂👑
