The waves were choppy during our snorkel and I was amazed that the pics turned out so well. Even though they still look murky, the snorkeling was crystal clear. We saw an incredible variety of tropical sea creatures.

The Spirit was spacious and smooth. Crew was extremely helpful and a lot of fun. Would definitely go again. They even helped us with the underwater cameras. It was neat having a lighthouse in the snorkel pics.
Equipment: All gear is provided. Wet suits only $6 extra, but you don't really need one. Even offered prescription goggles.

I wanted to go scuba diving, so I asked around. There was a guy named Larry who works at this place, so I went up there to check it out.
I never did go diving - it was always too windy (not good visibility) or the water was too cold or I didn't have a car to get up there. It was about as far as possible from the marina as it was possible to get
Equipment: "Our custom dive boat goes to the reef twice a day. The Reef Hopper has a fresh water shower for refreshing after your dive and a long ladder to assist with your boarding needs.
"Capt. Hook's is a PADI 5 STAR CENTER. We specialize in small groups so you get personal attention and are never rushed. Come dive where you know you will be taken care of. "
