Loved this experience

We all loved this experience one was apprehensive as a bit claustrophobic, but enjoyed seeing the world under the ocean, something we dont think of - we saw so many cool fish and turtles - a glimpse of a daily life under us. Angie the tour director was AWESOME ! Personable and so stinking from. You made our day Angie! Your Chicago crew

Under the sea!

This was a great experience! The underwater shipwreck was incredible to see, and our guide was very knowledgeable about all the different types of sea fish.

Great way to see the sites without getting wet!

What really set this excursion apart was the crew. Our captain and guide were knowledgeable, funny, and incredibly professional, providing great commentary that kept both the kids and adults entertained throughout sharing the history of the sunken vessel and explaining the delicate marine ecosystem of the Antilles shipwreck. Having snorkeled in that area previously, it was interesting to be able to see the shipwreck from a different perspective. It was also great to see all the types of fish, a sea turtle and jellyfish. This is a great excursion for families with younger children and or older adults alike.
