Take a look at the Google Map here: https://www.google.com/maps/@3.61857.../data=!3m1!1e3 (link from wiki), zoom in a bit until you get to maximum resolution like this: https://www.google.com/maps/@3.61553.../data=!3m1!1e3 and so you have all 12 SWVs in view. As you can see, the 4 in the middle (335 through 338) have quite a lot of dark patches outside and very close to the villas. That's dead coral and hard to navigate, especially for kids. 338 is OK (we've stayed in that one) and as for others, you'd want to ask for the southernmost group of 4 (339 through 342) or the last 2 of the northernmost group (333 & 334) just so you don't get any obstruction in the view due to the OWS.
You might also want to take a look at my Water Depth Around Over Water Villas post for info on water depth.
To avoid the chance of getting dead corals outside 335 to 338 from a SWV upgrade, it would be better to just stay in WV and be able to snorkel right from the steps?
