Which was mostly dead anyway, but nevertheless... And the ocean life was mostly nonexistent on the couple days I tried. I do feel the answer is somewhat relative to your snorkelling experience however: it is what you would expect for Hawaii or pacific Mexico. It is what it is. But it doesn't remotely compare to Indonesia or Thailand or the Maldives, etc.
