4.00It was a great but short excursion. Shipwreck was great to see, unfortunately we didn't get to see turtles on our tour. But the abundance of sea life while snorkeling was great. Crew is amazing, and funny. One has a lot of dad jokes.

5.00The crew were very professional and put me at ease. They checked my life jacket and snorkelling mask before I got into the water and gave me some tips. They came into the water with us, it was an amazing experience I would recommend this tour. We swam with turtles and saw the amazing shipwrecks and fish.
