Snorkelling/diving, lunch, the first people to access orange bay beach and water sports, massages, and for like 1/3 of the price they could’ve charged. You had an optional choice to do diving. We did and got a tutorial in it beforehand. I saw a couple reviews talk about the instructions for diving not being clear enough but I’d disagree, I’m awful at picking up new things and I was completely guided through every step and loved it.…”
