Review of Iceland’s Silfra snorkeling and lava tunnel combo, with itinerary, costs, safety, practical tips, and honest advice on who should book.
“We started going to the lava cave. The guide was very experienced and told us everything about the lava cave's history. We got to experience real darkness and finally were dropped off at some place to have lunch. Then it was time to head off to Silfra. I was so excited!!

Review of Maui’s 3-hour Molokini snorkeling trip, with a small group, free-diving focus, South Maui stops, pricing, timing, and booking tips.
“We had a great time snorkeling with the Pro Diver crew, who were kind enough to stop for some impromptu whale watching, too! This is definitely an experience made for the divers on the boat, but the crew give snorkelers clear instructions and timelines, too.

The are really excellent and you’ll have a great time!!”
