- Daruth from Southern California - TripAdvisor"The captain was very knowledgeable about the sea. I expected to see fish but not an underwater garden! We had a small passenger list (12) which made it all the more special. Fish galore came to feast when the captain tossed out their expected treats. Good viewing from'glass bottom' windows."
