Comments and Feedback
A truly amazing day. Teaching the next generation to Snorkel and feel comfortable in the water while discussing why the marine environment is so special and why it needs our protection along with all the help we can give it. That along with the pure joy and excitement these guys showed every time they saw a fish was literally enough to make anyone's day.
Snorkeling and Freediving the shelf is well worth it! Especially if you have an Eagle Eyed Child as your Buddy. The Sprogs aka next generation took the in water pics and had a complete and utter blast. We can not wait to get these Merkids in the making back in the water.
