They really liked the characters down there...and the two giant lobsters they saw. (I don't dive...or even snorkel much these days as my ears get all messed up and feel like crap.) Kirk in Maryland

I did the Kodiak pre-Irma and it was just an OK snorkel. I'm sure it would be a great dive. I spent all my money on "Boats", "Broads", and "Booze"; the rest I wasted!
