Amazing experience

This was an amazing experience! You get up close with all the different fish and may even spot a turtle! The barrage was very personable as well.

Excellent was to see under the sea!

Catamaran took us to the semi- sub. All hands were great! Went over new coral and a sunken german boat that had been there 86 years. Sooooo many beautiful sea critters! Saw several turtles, squid, and such a vast assortment of fish! Our guide was entertaining and knowledgeable. Great viewing windows for everyone! Highly recommended, well worth it!

Nice experience.

Nice experience, we saw fish, a turtle in the distance, and a sunken ship. The guide was very nice. Even though there is little to see, it was worth it. I liked the ride on the first boat better than the semi-submarine.
