    We had a great day of snorkeling on two different beautiful spots on the island. Jaime is an excellent guide; very knowledgable on the history of the island and he showed us some beautiful locations. He provided a comfortable and safe environment for the snorkeling. Lot of fun to spend the day with him. Very recommended!
