5.00Captain Scotty was great. He had everything ready for us when we arrived. The boards are good quality epoxy boards not the inflatable type. Snorkel equipment was good too. Scotty went over techniques to free dive to the deepest areas of the river. Also very knowledgeable about the sea life in the river. I’m looking forward to booking more trips with Waters edge tours.
