TL;DR
Choose Siva for larger marine life and the reef toward Remal, while Plaza is praised for its more varied reef structure and large schools of small fish. A nature reserve trip is a good option for quieter beaches and snorkeling until the reserve closes.
Plaza suits snorkelers who value reef scenery: it is noted for its more varied reef formations, large schools of shimmering small fish, and groups of trevally. The swimming area is spacious and is reported to have few interruptions from staff.
Siva is reported to offer more encounters with larger marine life than Plaza. The stretch from Siva toward Remal is also recommended for its attractive reef scenery.
For quieter snorkeling, consider a nature reserve trip with a Russian-speaking guide: the itinerary includes three different uncrowded beaches, and visitors can snorkel until the reserve closes rather than following a short fixed time slot.
