It was a very pleasant experience. We did get to see a lot of fish and a ship wreck. However, we had to arrange our own transport. In addition, the visibility was not great as we were fairly deep at 100 feet. After our tour was completed, we waited on the boat for 20 minutes for our return back to the mainland. It was unclear what we were waiting for as the passengers on the small transport boat had disembarked several minutes prior. The total duration was 2 hours, not the one hour advertised. Although my wife and I enjoyed the experience, the price may be a bit much. Do not expect this to be a must see, must do experience.

Wir wollten schon immer U-Boot fahren und hiermit ist ein Traum in Erfüllung gegangen. Der Kapitän Samuel ist sehr freundlich und kompetent und gibt einem ein sehr gutes und ruhiges Gefühl. Das U-Boot ist geräumig. Unter Wasser kann man verschiedenste Fische und mit etwas Glück auch Schildkröten sehen. Auch das Wrack ist sehr interessant. Also alles in allem eine Empfehlung!

Es war ein sehr spannendes, abenteuerliches Erlebnis für mich und ein Wunschtraum ist in Erfüllung gegangen, mich einmal im Leben wie Kapitän Nemo zu fühlen! Die Bootsfahrt zu U Boot Basis und zurück war schon schön, die Fahrt in 35 Meter Tiefe und die Besichtigung dass Korallenriffes und das Schiffswracks waren beeindruckend, der Guide machte einen sehr kompetenten Eindruck, er wusste viel zu erzählen und hatte eine beeindruckende Art. Auch der Empfang und die Verabschiedung im Büro war nett.
