Adam & Caleb were extremely knowledgeable about the sharks, and also prioritized our safety and comfort. They were extremely informative, so sweet, and all around great people. If you are anxious about this trip, they settle your nerves instantly. By far, one of the coolest and best experiences on the island. Also, make some extra time for this trip to explore this part of the island, it is so beautiful.
