Testimonials

"Had a great dive! Then divemaster Dan saw a turtle swimming in a circle, upon closer inspection, the turtle had fishing line around it's left front flipper! Shedding his dive gear and summoning help Divemaster Dan and Captain Ken rescued the turtle, struggling it into the boat and taking it back to shore to see it got the proper care! Well done Diver Dan and Captain Ken!"
