The crew were very friendly and informative. The sub was comfortable and roomy. The fish were beautiful and the shipwrecks were fascinating. You should definitely book this trip!
We had a lot of fun checking out the cove from below. We saw tons of fish, a turtle, coral, sea grass & shipwrecks. The had kind and humorous staff to tell us what was what.
The captain knew how to get us the best view of the reef and fish and the host was extremely knowledgeable. We had a great time.

Sub went down over 100 feet. Saw one shark swimming around. Ship wrecks were cool but the fish were the main attraction for me. I liked they included music during the ride going down and up. Friendly staff.

This was a great tour. The boat and sub crews were amazing. We saw so many fish, sea urchins and a moray eel. My son really enjoyed the two shipwrecks they went by.
