“This trip gave us a nice variety of places to snorkel. The Antilla shipwreck was a bit crowded with swimmers, snorkelers and scuba divers, but the views were amazing. Catalina Bay also offered us great views and we managed to see a sea turtle just as our boat was departing. The drinks and snacks were satisfying, and the crew were great to work with.”
