“When we arrived at our first stop, Mikey and Jane got in the water to assess the quality of snorkeling. It wasn't up to their standard so they took us to another location.”

“We saw an incredible variety of marine life, including an octopus, a pod of Caribbean reef squid, a hawksbill turtle, nurse sharks, reef sharks, and the largest structure of elkhorn coral I have ever seen.”
