The crew on the Calypso were a delight. They were very attentive. I felt very secure with their knowledge of the boat and snorkeling/snuba expertise. We saw lots of beautiful fish, coral and sea turtles. Swimming in the pristine water was a wonderful experience.

Wow! Wow! Wow! Amazing views and great service. Great snorkeling views of the fish and turtles. Jumping off the 3 story deck of the boat was for sure a experience. Provide food and drinks. Alcohol is provided at a great price of $2. Be advised not to bring spray on sunblock or the crew will crack jokes about you.

Big boat and friendly staff

Friendly staff, great adventure. The only thing that would make it better would be better food. The breakfast was a Costco muffin and some fruit and the lunch was a sandwich with a bag of chips and cookies. So if you’re looking for a dining experience, this isn’t it. But if you just wanna snorkel and get some sustenance, it’s perfect. The boat is big and nice with spacious seating.
