Great day in paradise - Captain Brad was not only an excellent captain, but he was also a pretty good comedian. Nate was very helpful with any of our needs and had great recommendations for food and entertainment, he also was a pretty good dancer.

Great crew and snorkeling, 12 yo approved! - Captain Kate (DJ Candy Cane) and Liber were awesome. As a Christmas Day activity they brought the energy and joy to the trip. We hit up two snorkel spots, seeing Christ of the Abyss and Horseshoe Reef. We swam with sea turtles, parrot fish, and even bubble jellyfish. The crew was great in pointing out wildlife and keeping swimmers safe. Would definitely recommend! (Family of 3, 12 yo approved!)

A must do - Excellent experience. Boat was clean and updated. Captain Katie was energetic, cheerful and had full control of the ongoings at all times. Her mate Lieber was very pleasant and helpful. The reef was amazing. We were grouped with the scuba people. I actually felt I had a better experience snorkeling than diving. The reef was 30 feet at it's deepest and the majority of the structures were shallower. I dive as well, but chose to snorkel. By not having the gear and bubbles and moving minimally, some of the fish came right up to me. Most just continued their daily routines which was wonderful to watch. When something caught my eye, I simply deflated my snorkel vest and dove down. Although time underwater was limited, all aspects of the reef were accessible via this method. The conditions were close to perfect on the day that I went. Overall an absolutely fantastic experience.

Unforgettable experience - I booked a snorkeling session to discover the barrier reef and I lived a real waking dream. As a beginner, I was anxious about being alone in the Atlantic Ocean. Finally, the session went wonderfully well and I was able to meet wonderful animals: corals, fish, shark, morays and rays! This experience triggered a real passion. The team was very fun, inclusive (I was the only one doing the solo activity and they didn't leave me out) and professional. They made me discover a song (Lovin' life) that will forever be stuck to this wonderful memory. I recommend 1000%!

Great Experience! - My husband and I are on our honeymoon and are staying at Marco Island originally from PA. We booked and drove 2.5 hours down to snorkel and it was so worth the money! Joe and Brad were awesome, we had a great time, and would highly recommend everyone to stop out. We traveled to two locations and spent time at both places, having time to snorkel without feeling rushed. I definitely recommend spending the extra money and having two locations vs the other options we saw at other places while looking to book. The trip came with all equipment needed, and it was so nice we could bring our own snacks. The experience was beautiful and we will definitely be taking the videos, pictures and memories back to PA; to recommend to all our family and friends. Thank you Brad and Joe for wonderful experience! And the top highlight so far on our honeymoon!

Is $150 worth your health in life - I can’t really tell you much about these experience because we felt that the weather conditions were not adequate to go with snorkelling and we chose to not go on the tour. We felt that the Torr Operator should’ve cancelled because the weather conditions were such that it was not enjoyable nor did we feel it was safe.
