Creator's Key Takeaways
We arrived on the Enchanted Princess cruise ship and skipped the paid excursions in favor of a self-guided snorkeling trip.
The water is shallow enough to be up close and personal to several species of colorful fish.
It was so peaceful, all inspiring experience that I shall never forget.
If you have a chance, swim out a little further to the drop off or the trench.
