Summary:
This was a truly epic experience. The crew was professional and helpful, and our safety was their primary concern. They are warm and welcoming and, without a doubt, passionate about what they do. The boat was clean, well-equipped, and well-maintained. There's a toilet on board as well.
The sharks were beautiful, and even from the boat I could see them clearly and got plenty of pictures. The information the crew shared about each species and their habits made this even more incredible.
Oh... their food is delicious as well! 😉
They will most certainly see me again ... for the full experience next time.
