We had a day snorkelling and absolutely loved it, swam with turtles, rays, clown fish and hundreds of other fish I'd have to look in a book to identify.

A couple of weeks later we came back to dive, and although we were a group of mixed ability, with one experienced diver, one newly qualified PADI diver, and myself doing the PADI open water course, this was no problem as everyone goes out on the same boat, and splits off accordingly.

Olaf, the instructor, looks after you very well and has plenty of interesting and funny stories to tell, as well as buckets of papaya and coconut to keep your strength up in between snorkels/dives.

The marine life you see diving is even better than that you see snorkelling, did I mention the turtles?!

Huge thanks to Olaf and Tina.

If you want to learn to dive, Olaf is the best person to learn with. He is a zen master for underwater adventures. Totally cool and collected, made us feel at ease and safe in water. Him and his wife were fantastic and also all the crew who were looking after us during the dive were great. The dive from wreck to coral gardens was the highlight for me seeing majestic and graceful turtles and thousand of different fish was amazing.
Doing the cours made our trip amazing and we learned new skills.
Big thank you from Ania&Allan

We took our 2 younger boys out for a days snorkelling, along with my wife who is not very confident in the water. All had a great day with turtles, great coral, ship wreck and clear waters. Is a simple and low key trip to don't expect too much but is well worth doing and we would have gone again but ran out of time.

Went on a snorkelling tour with Dive Savaiii - went with 2 other friends and we were the only ones snorkelling! We paid to hire flippers but we had our own masks and snorkels already. Absolutely loved it, we had some some great guides who lead us round the sites. We saw some amazing coral reefs and hundreds of fish and 2 turtles!!
We went to 3 different sites and between each site we were given water and fresh papaya and coconut on the boat.
It took half a day but it wasn't too much (I am not a strong swimmer and I was perfectly capable of keeping up)
If you do one thing on Samoa, do this!!

It was my first time for snorkeling in a very deep sea and the experience was fantastic. My husband really enjoyed every minute and even the crew and the instructors were kind and professional
