    Amazing. Snorkeling was amazing but scuba was even better. Never been scuba diving before this and the intro dive was well worth it. Experiences aside, the crew were outstanding. A lot of “let me help you with that” vs ever asking them for anything. They were always happy, encouraging, and fun to be around. I would recommend this excursion/team to anyone.

    This was perfect from start to finish. The crew was amazing in every way. Everything was perfect. If you want to snorkel or scuba dive the reef, look no further.
