"Crew did discuss the boat, safety, expectations in a friendly, timely manner, they were very courteous and tourist friendly. Only negative, was since we were day 1 beginners, a little more time spent on snorkeling technique would have been helpful. That's it, everything else was fine."

"Good excursion in Cozumel, Boat was clean, staff was very friendly and helpful. Snorkeling was good, sailed to a shallow area where we saw a good amount of fish. They kept us in a very tight little area however, and where there was a lot of people you couldn't swim much around at all, everyone was so close together."
