My husband and I had a great time on the Aqua Cat! The crew is lovely, always making sure you don’t need anything. I am a snorkeler only while my husband and our 2 friends are divers. They had a blast, and so did I! Even I have seen many sharks through the week. Had plenty to do, read books, explorer islands and had great food.
We might be back this year! We sure recommend!
