While snorkelling in the crystal clear shallow waters we take you to, look out for turtles amongst the coral “bommies” (coral outcrops), stingrays lying on the sand feeding and schools of beautiful turquoise damsel fish darting in and out from their coral hideaway. Be surrounded by tranquillity as you discover the varied and numerous marine life that live in these shallow azure waters. For the discerning traveller wanting first class service with that friendly ozzie touch, Ocean Freedom is a must do experience.
