Then he was in a loud argument on his phone for a while, sitting in front of the longtailboat making all sorts of angry gestures. It was insane. The captain on the boat showed us different fish and sharks, he appeared to be more keen to do the tour. Ditch this company, threre are plenty others who offer…”
