“Charlie and the crew were great. We reserved a group for 6 of us in advance. Training was great, we were in the water within an hour or two. They had 1 of their divers for every 2 people in our party. Felt perfectly safe. Photographer was a great add on for the trip they send a great video afterward as well. Worth every penny thank you!”
