Took my 70 year old mother with me and we had a blast. The crew was very friendly and helpful. The guide, Chase, was funny and very knowledgeable. I would definitely recommend to anyone wanting to explore the ocean without the snorkeling gear. This is a great adventure.

The whole thing. I’ve never been on a submarine before, it was nice. (In order to satisfy the system I’ll add more to my review. )

Exciting 1st time to take a voyage to the bottom of the sea! Beautiful to observe the fish, coral, shipwrecks and patterns of the ocean’s floor. Thoroughly enjoyed this adventure!

Our guide and pilot (?) were awesome! The views were beautiful. My only complaint is that it was incredibly hard to see because we had so many people on board. Many of which were overweight and spilling over into your section. I know that is something that can’t be controlled, but given we are the most obese country in the world…consideration of allowing less passengers instead of packing people in at max capacity will allow for a better experience for everyone. I was able to see maybe 1/3 of the experience and my back hurt having to twist and contort so that I didn’t have someone on top of me. Staff is amazing!

Great experience! It’s amazing what you can see 1 foot below the surface and even all the way to 100 feet below the surface.

Unique experience, as close as you can get to the bottom of the ocean without scub diving. Crew friendly, fun and experts regarding the underwater world explored during the tour. Kid friendly. Highly recommend.

This was the best. The crew was well informed and gave me better understanding of the fish life. Seeing the fish up close was something in there environment.

It was awesome to see wrecks that you otherwise couldn't see unless scuba diving. Take dramamine if you get motion sick.
