Is it true that the coral is severely damaged there? Are blacktip reef sharks still guaranteed to be seen during boat excursions?

Go very early in the morning (7:30 AM boat launch). By midday, the park gets overrun with tourist boats and the water visibility drops due to stirred-up sand.

There is coral bleaching near the shallow entry zones due to over-tourism, but if you swim out further to the reef drop-offs, the marine life is incredible. I saw five reef sharks and two sea turtles yesterday!
