Under The Sea - Going on this tour was funny and fun. We were able to see the lumber and rice boat ship wreck. The information that was given was easy to understand. The crew was amazing, we got to meet a fish whisperer and see fish dance( fykyk). The fish was extremely close, and the best part was that we remained dry. Would definitely recommend.

Great! Worth it!!! - Great captain- fun & friendly! Boat was safe and comfortable. Getting on and off is a bit tricky if you have mobility difficulties or use an aid to walk. I have a balance disorder and I did fine just using the rails and helping hands. We saw a shark, turtles, ray, lots of fish, 2 shipwrecks and Cheeseburger Reef.

Lots of fun and great viewing of shipwrecks and fishes! - We took a 10 am to 11 am tour during the Christmas break 2023 and it was fabulous!! The Captain and his assistant were very good, informative and entertaining! The views of the Cali and Balboa shipwrecks were excellent. The coral was a bit dead, understandably with all the development over the years and pollution. The fishes kept following the assistant who jumped into the Bay and showed up under the glass along with the fishes! All said, it was very much worth the money! Highly recommend this one!

Close to cruise port - The guide was great and his swimming under the boat to make the fish dance was entertaining. The boat is small and is crowded with 20 people or so. The glass in the bottom was not that clear but you could see to the ocean floor. You see 2 shipwrecks and cheeseburger reef. The trip was only an hour and was less then $100 so was worth it but don’t expect too much. It is very close to the cruise dock so easy to access.

Left the Dock Early and Before we Arrived - They left without us. We were at the dock at 11:46 for a noon tour and they had already left the dock and were driving away. I yelled and waived at them but they never looked back. After I was on chat with viator for an hour they said they would pick us up for a tour at 1pm but we had to get back on the ship. Not the first time I had problems with a viator tour. Not cool that 8 of us that booked didn't get to go on the tour.
