This was AWESOME!!! From the moment we jumped into the water till we got out almost an hour later there was hardly a moment when we were not watching the manta rays.
My husband jumped in first and turned to record our daughter and myself jumping in. Our daughter went first, and as my husband was recording me jumping in, our daughter squealed, "Dad, they are right under us!" We put our faces in the water, and sure enough, there were 5-6 manta rays right under us.
Back to the start. It was a little difficult to find the meeting place because there were very few lights on around the marina. However, the directions were great, and we got there with no issues. After check-in, we headed down to the boat. It was a really nice boat with quad 300s for power. It has a bottom deck with bench seating and an upper deck with some padded boxes to sit on. We went up top for the ride out. As you got on the boat, they made you take off your shoes and store them in a bin and then handed you a wet suit top. They were a little damp. I did not like that much. They also had chips, water, and soda for snacking. The mask and snorkel were great, and the defog they sprayed on them right before we jumped in was amazing.
The captain and crew were incredible. They taught us so much about the ocean and manta rays. (Avery is a middle school science teacher and has wonderful knowledge) The crew, Bryce, Ryan, and Avery, were funny and engaging. When we got out of the water they had a hot (really hot) shower to rinse off in and warm up in.
I would 100% recommend this company and this excursion.
