Because there are so many people, it's hard to ensure everyone was able to eat lunch. The staff was great and professional. However a two hour endless buffet was promised and that's not what happened. Within 30 minutes, the fish and rice were gone. The people on the main level of the bait had 2-3 visible messed over plates but the people on the upper deck barely got anything to eat. They should ensure everyone has gone ONCE through the buffet line before letting people get seconds.

It was a fun filled day with my husband and a couple of friends snorkeling in two locations! The crew on the boat are exceptional! Not only were they well organized and exceptionally trained, they are all friendly and engaging with all of the snorkelers and divers. It was a little rough getting to the reef barrier so take your sea sick pills if you prone to getting sea sick. However, going back was smooth sailing.
