Shipwreck

The lady talked way to much , not enough involvement of the visitors, I get it that’s the sea but we didn’t see a thing , would have been nice to have another alternative , in that case . Felt like it was more about the shipwreck than about the sea life .

This was a cuter little...

This was a cuter little excursion. I wasn’t sure what to expect but it was cool. The boat ride out to the semi submarine was nice and relaxing and the semi submarine was cool! I’m we did snorkeling the day before and didn’t get great views of the shipwreck, but with this we were able to see it really good. The guides were all great as well! My daughter got an ear infection so this was a good water-free excursion.

Palm Beach submarine voyage with cloudy view

Did not see as many vivid views as we had hoped for, water & view through windows was not super clear (somewhat cloudy). People were nice & safety was good, just wasn't great & not worth the expense in the end

Super sun experience

Great experience for us some guest got a little sea sick but major wish we'd seen bigger fish but that's up to mother nature still highly recommend. The tour guide was multi lingual which was cool and the captain was great
