Tracy and her assistant were wonderful guides, start to finish! Her detailed directions helped and they were super patient, understanding and inspiring w my ASD son. this was our first time really using the equipment. they explained techniques well and I even practiced free diving. Tracy clearly loves the water and all the ocean life- and shared her passion and knowledge for ocean creaturs w us. we saw a shark, a turtle, many wonderful fish and lobsters, and learned about the reef in general. thank you so much and we hope to snorkel and adventure with you again!
