“Reefs and islands, with the marine park fees always included”
A dive and snorkel operator that publishes marine park fees in the headline price because hiding them is how the industry got its reputation.

Boat was crowded. Fine for the diving, less fine for the surface intervals. The team read the group well and adjusted without making a thing of it.
Thanks for writing this up. We've passed your note to the team.
