What can we say? We snorkeled for at least 2 hours each day, sometimes twice a day. We did find that the mornings had clearer waters.
Our 4 days settled into a routine: buffet breakfast: fascinating mixture of western (omelets, over-easy eggs, toast with marmalade) and Chinese (hot soup w/ noodles, strange vegetables), fruit, and Malay dishes (char kuah teow, nasi lemak), and the strongest coffee you can imagine.
Then we would snorkel at least 2 hours.
Download photos and try to identify them (we probably have 40 identified, any more not sure).
Lunch at the snack bar - satay, nasi goreng, and a very strange dish from Kota Bharu that looked like pinkie fingers ! And many iced milky coffees - yum.
We chatted with the staff, who were very nice and from many places, and with a few of the guests, but the mainland Chinese were not friendly. Interesting. It was quite a family place though - many 3-generation groups. When we saw Europeans we knew they had walked up from the neighboring resort (the one with the monitor lizard).

They can move a lot faster than alligators so beware. Their bite is germy too!
