Don’t book with silverswift! It was really the badest experience ever. The weather conditions where rough, we decided to go anyways because the women on the counter couldn’t book us in the next two days. The women on the counter also said that only the drive to the spots will be a little bit bumpy and we might get seasick, but she told us as soon as we are on the spots it will be calm for snorkelling. The ride there was horrible everyone was vomiting. As we got to the first spot we got out and it was really wavy, so not calm as promised! Because of the waves I got water in my snorkel all the time but the badest thing was that it was really hard to swim to the reef and it was even harder to stay over it because the waves brought me in an area where the staff said I am not allowed to snorkel, but I wasn’t able to swim back because the waves where just to strong! So I was in the water for around 15 minutes…. Because of the bad conditions the staff told us it’s not possible to move to an other reef because the conditions are even worse there. So for the second snorkel we stayed at the exact same spot!!!! We decided to go out anyways, the problem was that one of the divers passed out under water and got stabilised in the cabin, so the staff told us that we can’t go out snorkelling because we can’t get passed that area in the cabin. For the promised third spot they moved the boat for around 200 m, so we got out on the same reef…. The waves were the same we couldn’t really get out to the reef. We didn’t saw anything, no shark, no turtle just a few small fish. So in the end we booked 3 spots and got only one spot!!!! And couldn’t go three times in the water. The company is not willing to give us any refund!!!!!! They are really impolite on the phone and not listening to our situation at all! Never book over Silverswift, I would give zero stars if that would be possible!

This company makes you feel like a product. No decompression sitos for Divers and too many people per guide. That’s not right

From the moment we stepped on the boat the crew operated like a "well oiled machine" working together to provide the 90 divers and snorkelers on board a positive experience. It was clear that they had the experience and the attitude to make that happen. It was quite breezy the day we went out so the snorkeling was a bit more challenging along with slightly reduced visibility but none of that was the crew's fault. The snacks and lunch were very good and kept us fueled all day.
