Visit three great sites: Malmok Reefs, Boca Catalina and the WWII shipwreck, Antilla! You can choose to swim and snorkel at two of the sites and you will have time to channel your Johhny Depp for some cool rope swinging at the third site. For your comfort find ample shade and seating under the large canopy by the bar or stretch out on the teak deck for sunning.
