Snorkelling off Amed

Posted by Jillie on Tuesday, 18. December 2007 at 08:17 Bali Time:

We are staying in Amed for a few days in January and want to go snorkelling.... my problem is a funny one! I am a crap swimmer and my arm strength is shocking so am worried if the boat takes us out too deep I won't be able to lift myself back into the boat cos there isn't any ladders! I remember struggling to get onto the banana boat when they tipped us off so how will I be on a boat!

Is the snorkelling ok if you just walk out from the beach?

Any suggestions? Thanks.
