Worth it
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.

You might see a shark!
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.
