We headed out on Evolution for our second time yesterday and had an amazing day! Weather was rough but it didn’t matter, scuba intro dive was magic and the staff were awesome 😎 snorkeling was so much fun with so many different beautiful fish and coral to see. Lunch was delicious and enough that no one could possibly go hungry and then there were the photos taken by the onboard photographer… absolutely incredible and the best souvenir for a day at the reef
Great crew, incredible yacht that’s well maintained and clean. Lunch and some snacks provided.
For someone how has never been snorkeling, it was probably the most terrifying experience ever. From the get go, so many passengers were throwing up. The anti nausea pills did absolutely nothing for us. 4 hours after the pill we were still throwing up multiple times. Once in the water, tour instructor was not too engaging or encouraging at all. Both of us were given the wrong gear and were drowning in our own mask. 2nd time was the charm were we could actually see under water with our mask.and it was absolutely beautiful.The coming back part was the worst ,the yacht kept tilting from one angle to the other. It was even hard to walk without tripping over.
The ocean conditions were absolutely not suitable for this kind of trip. Many people (I would say more than 30%) were vomiting and not able to swim at all. It was an expensive way to spend a bad time. The company should cancel the trip if the conditions are that bad.
