3.00Was really looking forward to this trip and it was a bit disappointing. The weather was horrible which of course was out of their control. But it did clear up once our to the reef. We were only allowed 1 1/2 hours to snorkel and most of trip was spent getting to reef and back. The staff was nice except for the captain of the boat. I went up on deck to take a photo and was standing in corner to take it away from the captains field of vision and having been given permission to take the photo. And captain comes out and screams real loud at me to “sit down or go downstairs”. Very rude and he did not have to be so rude about it particularly since the staff member had given me permission to take a quick photo. I will never use this organization for snorkeling when I come back again! Unless you find a new captain!
Very thorough and very...
