Can't say enough about the museum and it's staff. Mel Fisher was an amazing man who lead an amazing life and won it all. We originally booked the platinum ticket for Oct 24 but hurricane Milton delayed our trip for a month. We ended up at the museum on a Sat when the conservation lab was closed. The staff still took us back for a personal tour and answered all of my historical questions. I really appreciate their accommodation and high recommend this museum.

Very poor ! I expected better and when you advertise audio we thought it would be headphones. Instead it’s a stick you hold and hit a button for each room and then hold the stick to one ear.

First of all there was no line. Second there was no record of my having paid for entrance, let alone enter…. Since I was there, I offered to pay a second admission. I will be hard pressed to use your service in the future.
