Most of our group were glad they did it.  It was a great experience.  That said....when it was time to surface, we all agreed that we were ready for it to be over with.  My initial reaction was one of amazement.  I've never done scuba, so this was my first experience at breathing under water, it was quite a rush.  The sights were fantastic!  The divers brought crackers which they would crush and release in a cloud to attract fish...which were abundant.  There were barracuda and in the distance, what appeared to be a shark, although it was pretty hard to tell at the distance...it never came close.  On the down side...the thing only goes 2- 3knots and you constantly have to correct your steering to keep going forward.  There is a diver assigned to every two bobs and you just follow him.  These things put together gave me a  feeling of too little freedom and by the end I was starting to get bored with it.   While five people at a time used the "bobs," The others could help themselves to snorkeling equipment and explore a bit by themselves...I had a blast doing this.



Over all, I was glad I did it.


Hope you have a great cruise!
