Man!! That guy's living the live...if he wasn't a student.
Thanks everyone for the great info. I had no idea the reef was that far off shore. I guess the northeast coast is where the reef is most accessible, so I'll plan my trip there. If snorkling was my only option, what would you recommend? A day trip out or a live-aboard? Can you explain what a live-aboard is and how much would I be looking at?
There seems to be way too many things to do/see on one visit, we will have a tough time deciding. I was browsing online and came across a load of tour companies, each varying in location, duration, price etc. My dilema is, are they worth the money and time? Has anyone been on one, what did you think of it?
Also, driving, did anyone rent a car while they were there?
