Wonderful underwater experience!

Published on Jan, 2025

A friend recommended this and I’m so glad we did it. The staff were terrific, and Jason, our tour guide had a lot of interesting information. There’s a short boat ride out to the submarine, then a climb down into the sub on a ladder. We had a small group so we were told to all sit on one side and they tailored the experience for that side. The sub descends down to a coral reef, where Jason pointed out the names of the many fish we saw. We also saw a sand shark as well as a different kind of shark. We saw all kinds of fish. Then the sub went down deeper to a depth of 105 feet. We saw a couple of ship wrecks, with the interesting stories of how they came to be on the ocean floor. I’m really glad we did this, and I thoroughly enjoyed it.

Malinda was an AWESOME...

Published on Jan, 2025

Malinda was an AWESOME guide/narrator. All the other staff were very nice also! I loved the experience of going under water in the sub even though I am a scuba diver. My husband was less happy with that part. As per the reviews we read before booking, the sea life & fish was kind of blah. Seeing a reef shark was exciting-and apparently not commonplace. How lucky for us! Several reviewers mentioned some seasickness while onboard the sub so I took medication to avoid that. I think it might be a good idea to warn folks not to do rapid movements of their head during the ride. There is an issue that the company needs to address quickly. Your lack of signage is a total pain. There was not one sign, arrow, person or other indication of where your customers should go to check in. We had to ask at least 5 different people where we should go. It was annoying and in my opinion, very bad business..

Ok

Published on Dec, 2024

Was a fun experience but wouldn’t do it again. Did see some fish and 2 shipwrecks but that’s it. Not worth the amount of money IMO

Great tour of coral and fish

Published on Dec, 2024

Great tour. Learned a lot of interesting things and saw some great fish - and even some sharks! Our tour leader was wonderful. Very organized and friendly. I recommend - especially if you're not into snorkeling.

One of a kind experience,...

Published on Dec, 2024

One of a kind experience, there’s nothing else like it. I never thought I’d have the chance to ride in a submarine. Toured two shipwrecks, saw an eagle ray, moray eel and a white tip reef shark.
