In Australia for the first time and wanted to try snorkeling. The dive centre in Byron Bay was awesome! A brief lesson beforehand provided the basics and from there it was a great time. The water was so clear and I can't even remember all the fish and sea life I saw. Turtles, starfish, large blue fish of some sort, black, yellow, etc. So incredible. Also a pod of dolphins on the way to the rocks. Really nicely done.
Very fun, very close to fish, saw a grey house shark and a turtle, worth the price!
