Nice boat ride to the Island. As soon as you get there you see 100 of people snorkelling over to broke. Corall reef. The corals are bleached, and broken by the huge amount of people hitting them with fins and stand on them.
A little area us closed of and controlled, if lucky you see a shark or turtle... but do you wanna be a part of this?
It's sad to see that selling trips is more important than preserving the beauty and controlling the number of people going there.

We started out early, 8am, as we were informed the island becomes crowded later. The boat took us across to the island, about 10 mins ride. We were given life jackets to wear. On arriving we were kitted out with masks and snorkels and fins. The bay to the front was marked off with bouys to show where it was safe to snorkel without damaging the coral. We saw a lot of beautiful fish but sadly no turtles. We went over to the bay at the rear, which was by now very crowded. We saw similar fish especially if we swam out but felt we preferred the bay to the front so went back. We stayed till midday and caught the boat back. A really pleasant morning with underwater beauty all around us. If you have aqua shoes, I suggest you wear them as the beach is made up of broken coral which is sharp underfoot. You can leave your back packs at a desk at your own risk. Our’s were ok. Cost including boat 11.000 rupees for 2 of us.
