Marine life: a possibility, not a promise

Turtles, fish and rays may be seen during the activity, while whales or dolphins might appear from the boat. No wildlife sighting is guaranteed.

The provider states that turtles are seen on 95% of trips, but the source gives no verifiable methodology. Book for the guided diving and snorkelling experience rather than the certainty of seeing a particular species.
