What a great excursion. Well worth the money. My wife, 18, 15 and 13 year olds had a great time and we were able to see a lot at the three different locations. Food was really good and plenty for all. All in all, we had about 20 passengers. Other excursions that I saw on our day had 30, so I liked the smaller numbers, but that may vary. The crew was fun and very attentive. One passenger needed help and the captain jumped to help. The sunken ship location, on our day, was very windy and the waves and current were stronger we were in 60 ft. of water at that location, so this may be harder for beginners, but doable. The other two locations were in about 8 to 12 feet of water, calm and near the shoreline/beaches, which is very good for beginners. There are life vests available too, along with the other gear.
