“Fun filled few hours. Our guide was fairly new at guiding but knew the water and kept us safe. She kept our team strong and we had a blast! I was given a wetsuit too big after I stood in line for the proper size and was given a smaller one that didn’t fit. After trying it on there we’re none left my proper size. That was the only down side of the whole trip. Thanks for a fun day!”
