Locals rent jet ski to tourists and people get usually crazy on these things, so swimming or snorkelling in a mid distance from the shore is dangerous as you can be hit. Actually, some girl crashed into other’s jet ski! That got really messy for them as they refused to pay for damages and clearly locals rent...
