You scuba in a lagoon that most of the time you can stand up and be half out of the water (I am 5'2"). I was a bit disappointed you don't go deeper - especially after learning about blocking/unblocking your ears and the importance, etc. It is NOT off of a boat so if you are bringing someone who isn't going to scuba, do not buy an extra ticket for them to come with you. It is at a beach so they can sit or walk around. Nick was very friendly, helpful, and attentive. I enjoyed the experience overall, but feel like I was snorkeling with limited sea life and just learning how to use the equipment.
