2 hour excursion, fun, informative and helpful staff. Successful at finding turtles. All the gear was clean and worked properly! Even had corrective goggles for my husband so he could see without his contacts!!

The crew and event were awesome. My wife got really sick the night before, and could not make the trip. They would not refund her money, not a understanding customer service.
