Highlights
  • 2 Datura Ave - Snorkel Tour of Underwater Explorer Jean Cousteau’s dedicated “Shipwreck Snorkel Trail”. 2nd to the Great barrier reef, this hidden treasure would make any pirate happy as one of our expert Guide’s navigate this trail dedicated by Jean-Michele Cousteau in May 2002. There are two sets of concrete cannons, a large anchor, and a ballast pile replicating a shipwreck common in these waters many years ago. The trial was started in 1998 & took 4 years to complete. The shallow reef trail varies from 8 - 16 feet and is 1 of 3 Reef Systems that host a wide variety of tropical sea life you may see:

Large Sea Turtles Blue Tang Parrotfish French Angels Spotted Scorpionfish
Caribbean Spiny Lobster Doctorfish Tarpon Nurse Sharks Spotted Goatfish
Peacock Flounder Barracuda Eels Manta Rays Trumpet Fish
Blue-Headed Wrasse Eagle Rays Octopus Cuttlefish Sergeant Majors

Our original Tour was created over 10 years ago to complement the 1st Biorock Project in the USA, which helped the coral to grow. Unfortunately the project was abandoned, but thanks to our loyal Guides we have evolved and continued showing off the rich history and beauty of this awesome reef system & help with a new coral project.

Go for the full paddle board experience! - Such a phenomenal experience! My friend bailed on me so I upgraded to the paddle board version and that was a great decision! You can paddle around to the best places to snorkel and have a great time.

Warning!! - This event was cancelled on me due to weather and both the owner and tripadviser refused to refund me. I have yet to get any money or response from either.
