5.00There were 9 of us. Ages 12 to 72 and each one of us enjoyed it very much! We would recommend this adventure. The onboard guide was able to identify the fish we saw.
So surreal! A once in a lifetime experience!

5.00This was such a cool experience! The ship wrecks, countless schools of brightly colored exotic fish, some of them coming right up to the window to say hello, and cruising around over a hundred feet deep! A fun and informative crew, and even got to see a baby shark skirting around under one of the shipwrecks! It genuinely felt like being in a movie or a video game. Such a cool experience, I would absolutely do this one again and again!
Fun but don't buy on trip advisor

4.00Sub was fun, tripadvisor didn't honor their price match guarantee. 12 hrs after buying here I found the tickets for the same show available to the public for $50 less per person. Submitted to TripAdvisor and they refused to refund even though it fits into their price match guarantee. Did not use any coupons.
