Absolutely a 10+ experience. The crew is so helpful and knowledgeable with scuba - great for beginners or experienced and felt totally safe as they were very on top of safety. They were also so fun and funny. The sites were beautiful and diverse. I can’t wait to return again. Ocean Vibes is a smaller boat than some of the others but don’t let this fool you into thinking the others are better. I will choose OV again and again and again!

Fabulous trip out on a sailed catamaran. Skipper and crew were perfect hosts and attentive to every detail including utmost respect for the pristine ecological environment. Food and drinks great. Free video from the day and great viewing iguanas for no extra cost. Can’t recommend highly enough. If you do one trip while here; let it be this one!

Terrific trip! The boat, snorkeling, and crew were all great. Snorkeling the barrier reef and stopping at Half Moon Bay were highlights. We also appreciated being picked up and dropped off on the beach by our hotel.

The crew was awesome and knowledgeable! Communication before trip was good and was easy to contact them. Waters were a little rough but we were still able to make the trip, get the snorkeling in and enjoy the day!
