3.00The experience was truly amazing. There were advantages to being in a bigger boat as the water was fairly rough and the ride out was quite bumpy, but fun. The positive is that there were so many manta rays and I didn’t feel rushed to get back into the boat. The downside is my husband’s snorkel was leaking water. You are told not to put your feet down but to ask for help. He did three times and then finally gave up and they said he could go back to the boat. Well once he got there they discovered that it was missing a piece and that is why it wasn’t working. He isn’t super comfortable in the water and by the time he got back to the boat and they said oh yeah a piece is missing he was done. What would have been really helpful is to bring him another one. So with so many people to help there wasn’t time to help him which I think if you were in a smaller cruise they would be able to be a bit more helpful and it would have been a lot more enjoyable. I do highly recommend the experience but will consider the number of people on the excursion.
epic experience
