    This was an AMAZING trip. I recommend this trip to everyone visiting BB. The crew were the best around and explained everything. When my wife had a problem she wasn’t going to go back down. They helped her out and requested she give it another try. She gained their confidence in fixing the problem and down in the water she went. She said she is so glad she didn’t pack it in. It was wonderful. 5 stars is all you can rate but I’ll give it 10. Great job!! Will return

    Highly Recommend for Honeymooners
    Jamison_R, Sept 2023
    This excursion was arguably the most fun experience have ever done. The people in charge of this know what they are doing and are superb. Very accommodating to any language. The actual dive is super easy for anyone to do. All the fish are so beautiful and you even get the chance to hangout with a stingray. It takes about 2 hrs from the time they pick you up at your resort dock and when you get dropped back off. I can not say enough good things about this excursion. Highly recommend
    A wonderful experience
    Maomao_F, July 2023
    My son and I don't know how to swim, which gave us the opportunity to get in the water and gain direct contact with a variety of fish and Sting ray as well. The boat crew was very experienced and we had a wonderful underwater experience with their help in eliminating our nerves.

    Helmet dive
    Steven_K, June 2023
    We decided the underwater walk looked fun. It was fun! It's quite surprising how easy it is even though the helmet is heavy. No water comes in and we saw lots of fish and a ray too. If you don't intend to scuba dive then this is the next best thing. Would recommend.

    Stephanie_W, May 2023
    It was very nice. The people were incredibly friendly and helpful. I laughed a lot under water with the fish when the pictures were being taken. It was a great experience at a reasonable price.

    Unforgettable underwater sights for us who do not SCUBA
    Lesley_C, Feb 2023
    My wife and I have no SCUBA experience but the diver guides made us feel comfortable and safe. The number, variety, and multiple colors of fish were astounding. We loved seeing and petting a stingray. After watching how the guides interacted with it, made us comfortable “petting” the stingray also. The experience widened our understanding and appreciation of under water life. For those of us that don’t SCUBA, this is a chance to go beyond snorkeling. We loved it

    Bruce_Z, Feb 2023
    Great experience and friendly staff. The fish we're swimming all around us and nibbling on our hands. Very fun. Would do again.

    Awful communication! Rude! Use the another snubs service!
    Lacei_C, Jan 2023
    Very poor communication!! The operators lack of response really messed up our plans! We were so disappointed that we ended up booking another snuba tour with a company called AquaBlue and that was amazing! I would recommend trying that company instead. The operator of AquaBlue quickly responded and was an incredible guide! They put together a video of our experience and it was priceless!
    Response from Host, Jan 2023
    Hello Lacei, We understand your disappointment but our cancellation policy is public and nothing is hidden. We give the opportunity to cancel the booking for free, and to be 100% refunded till 24 hours before the tour. Also, We have offered you the chance to come back another day with a special discount... I am really happy for you if you have found some happiness with "Aqua Blue" which is our competitor, but now that we talking about this company, I am not sure anymore about the authenticity of your feedback…
    Walk in the park…on the ocean floor
    Wing_D, Dec 2022
    It was very unique experience. My children and I have no diving experience. This helmet dive was perfect. My kids were 15 yo but there were 65+ yo. So, the activity is safe and can enjoy by many.

    They’re all friendly. Fun experience underwater. Great advantage of wearing a helmet was My husband was able to wear his glasses so he was able to see better.

    An enjoyable but challenging experience
    Christine_M, July 2022
    Had to be on knees as the current was very fast. Held on to a rope and crawled around the area. There were many fish so I enjoyed it. As my father had a knee replacement he could not do the activity. When he did it in the Caribean it was done standing. That requirement should have been made known.I would not recommend for older people or those with orthopedic issues.

    Underwater adventure for all ages!
    Grace_K, July 2022
    The aqua safari was a great alternative to deep sea diving and more fun than snorkeling. Every one in our family, from 9 year old to 73 year old, was able to enjoy looking at all the creatures under sea. We had a great time and saw some beautiful fish and spent time with Coco Chanel, the cute manta ray. Our tour guides were great and made sure everyone was comfortable and having fun.

    Amazing Experience
    Shawnett_B, June 2022
    I am a no swimmer I was scared at first but after I got down I felt better. It was amazing seeing how beautiful it is under the sea. Also, the stingray coco Chanel was super friendly and wanted belly rubs. The stingray was all over the tour operator which made me more comfortable to touch.
