Westin — passionate about the sport, well-prepared, and great at explaining things clearly. Left the experience feeling

5.00Had an incredible freediving experience with Westin and can't recommend him enough. From the moment we met, it was clear this was someone who genuinely loves what he does — his passion for the sport and the ocean is infectious. He came fully prepared with everything we needed and walked through safety, technique, and what to expect in a way that made the whole experience feel approachable without dumbing anything down. His explanations were clear, knowledgeable, and easy to follow whether you're brand new or have some background. The dive itself was unforgettable, and having an instructor who is both confident in the water and great at communicating made all the difference. If you're thinking about trying freediving in South Florida, Westin is the one to do it with.
Book without hesitation!

5.00Outstanding! This was definitely a highlight of our vacation. Westin was an excellent guide. He made sure everyone was safe and ready to go. He was very patient with beginners. Westin showed us lots of animals along the way, including an octopus and sea turtle. We were given all the gear we needed, wetsuits, and snacks at the end. This experience is a must!

5.00Westin was a fantastic tour guide! I booked a private tour during spring break. We had 3 moms and 4 teens and Westin did a great job explaining everything so even the 1st timers of the group felt safe and comfortable. We saw a LOT of cool things (many of them we would have completely missed without Westins keen eye)! He was knowlegable about all of the fish and aquatic life we encountered. The list was long and varied: tons of greenies, giant angel fish, baracuda, several species of sting ray, grouper, so many other fish that I cannot name, an octopus, and the icing on the cake were some sea turtles that seemed happy to see us! I would highly recommend Westin if you are even considering doing a snorkling adventure. We drove 2 hours from our Airbnb to have this experience and it was definitely worth the 3:30 wake up call.
Great for a first timer snorkeler!

5.00Westin was wonderful. He took his time getting everyone set up and teaching how to use all of the equipment. He was patient and answered everyone’s questions. He checked in regularly to make sure everyone was feeling comfortable during the entire snorkel experience. The park was a perfect place for a first timer to see lots of really cool things in the water but no be overwhelmed by the experience.
Great for beginners!

5.00Perfect for first time snorkelers. Westin was a great teacher and guide! He took his time getting everyone set up and answered all the questions. I didn’t feel rushed. The park is a great place to take things slow but still see tons of wonderful creatures.
