So much nature...what a great experience! My kids can say they swam with sharks now! - We went with a group of 12 of us including 6 children ages 10-16. Swish and Connor were amazing tour guides. They would point out amazing sea life and show it to us starting with a non stinging jelly fish to sea anemones. During the snorkel portion, Swish would say "I am going to find us a _____". He would then dive down and find that animal as if he had placed them there. We saw lion fish, jelly fish, tons of tropical fish, sea stars, even coral black tip reef sharks! That was the highlight. They were both so knowledgeable about the nature that surrounded us. The only negative I can think of is that the camera wasn't working and they told us they would email us whatever pictures they did take. I still have not received those. This was a great experience for my family and friends.
