usually do on a regular dive holiday.

there other dive boats at the sites we dived, thus only 4 to 8 divers at the
site from the boat.

Swimming with the megafauna (whale sharks and manta)
Tips?
Practice snorkelling beforehand if you're not used to it, but if you are, then you'll be fine.

If sensitive to the sun, be prepared to put on lots of sunscreen frequently, and take seriously covering up against the sun.
Local benefits?
I think the program does support the local island economy.... (more)Nuraini Arsad

Local benefits?
Not really to the extent that I would have liked, sure spending... (more)Stan Batchelor
From

Memorable parts?
The opportunity to see and feel a different culture. Launching the boat into and out of the water
Tips?
I was on doxycycline as malaria prophylactic and I had quite a few side effects and had to stop taking it at the time I was there I didn't see very many mosquitos and the dive shop is equipped with a nurse who can do a malaria test and they have the antibiotics if a person gets sick
