A wonderful dive into another world

5.00I have not done the submarine for many years but grand family wanted to go. OMG what an amazing trip now. The submarine is new spotless with comfortable bench seats and very large viewing ports. We covered a lot area actually reaching a depth of 105 feet. The skipper “flew “ the sub through a wonderland of marine life. The narrator was outstanding. He identified everything. We were 3 generations and everyone was enthralled.
Fun at 100ft!
