Captain Bill knows his stuff -- the cruise starts a bit earlier because he wants to get there early to stake out one of the seven moorings. Other boats show up later and ask to tie off but the limit is two per mooring, and the Captain said one night there were 17 boats! Another plus in the early start is you get to relax and have some fruit watching the sunset before the dive. We didn't do our homework and didn't realize you can't "free swim" but need to cling to the raft, but that works out fine because the rays know the drill and do their back flips (they call them barrel rolls) right under the raft. Be prepared, they will swim close to you as in thisclose as in an inch from your face, and you can see right inside them. It's definitely thrilling. I liked the size of the boat, it's big enough for the size group, kind of feels like a private charter. Captain and crew are cheerful and very professional. Also liked leaving from their harbor, it's a nice small one right by the airport. All in all a great travel experience you really shouldn't miss if you like snorkeling and the water!
