We just got back from the Conquest 5/9. We used Captain Marvins. It was just a short walk from cruise dock (where you are tendered in from). We took the 2.5hr tour. It consisted of Stingray City and snorkeling at Coral Gardens. We were offered vest for each. Nobody used them for the stingrays-water was about waist-chest deep, depending on your height. I didn't notice a video being recorded. There were only about 12 people on our boat. It had shade, sun, water, and restrooms. We saw a boat already there from the cruise ship tour and were herding them like cattle. There must have been about 100 people on that boat. We wore life vest at Coral Gardens. I was not very impressed with the marine life. Didn't see hardly any fish, but we had a great time. They dropped us off back at the Waterfront Centre.

Beware: We got on a taxi/bus and asked the guy to take us to a seafood rest. on the 7mile beach. He took us to the Beach Colony Resort, where we had to pay about $21 for 3 people. We went to the rest. and all they served was hamburger and hotdogs that were $7 a piece. On the beach, there was rows of chairs all the way down to the water and down the beach. No room to "build" sand castles with kids. Water had a ton of people in it. Although the water was beautiful, we will never go back there. There was a nice public beach all the way at the end of the 7mb that I noticed on our way to get on the boat for the stingrays. I guess I should have told the cab driver to take us there, but we were so hungry.
