The views from the boats are worth the entire package. I highly recommend you attend this activity. They provide everything you need to make the trip an unforgettable experience. All you need to provide as a customer is a good attitude and listen to what the instructor recommends through out the dives. Bring sunscreen and a swimsuits/towel and select hotel for pick up. Easy and convenient as can be. They have different language interpreters as well. 10/10”
