I bought this sim as it’s covering Egypt and Jordan wher I would travel to. The sim was easy installed to my iPhone, I have no issues with area coverage but the network could be a little slow.
It was a wonderful experience seeing the coral reefs, whale sharks, and schools of sardines, and I'm really glad I participated. I'm especially grateful to the guides for taking great photos and videos during each activity. It may be a tough tour, departing in the middle of the night, but it was worth it. I would recommend it to others.
I was debating between a shared boat and a private charter, but considering that the shared boat costs the same for adults and children, chartering ended up being significantly cheaper. The shuttle arrived on time, and upon arrival at the port, a member of the association guided us to the boat. We also paid a port tax (10 pesos per person). The weather was unfortunate when we set sail, and no one wanted to snorkel at Hilutungan, so we headed to Pandanon. On the other hand, everyone seemed to have enjoyed themselves at Pandanon, and they still wanted to snorkel, so we asked the captain and he kindly returned us to Hilutungan. I think the freedom of a private charter is a plus. As for meals, the bungalows are given priority, so we had to eat on board, but that was also a great experience. The sea is somewhat controversial due to the amount of seaweed growing, but I personally think it's the most beautiful beach I've ever been to, second only to Shell Beach in Australia.
To be honest, I was a little worried because it was so cheap, but I was able to use it without any problems in Tokyo, Taiwan, and Thailand. I restarted the phone when it was difficult to connect. I would like to use it again.
Thanks to the wonderful people I was with, it was a calm and enjoyable tour! I almost got swept away by the waves, so if you're not a very good swimmer, you might want to be a little careful. Even though it wasn't peak season, the ocean was beautiful and I was very satisfied. Although it will be a bit of a burden, I recommend bringing your own snorkel if you're concerned about hygiene.
