The marina was much closer to our hotel than on past excursions, giving us plenty of time to get back and have dinner. I'm not sure about the reviews calling it a scam. They were up front about hotel pick-up time and were available via live chat when the driver was a few minutes behind schedule. This was a very fun trip, and we would gladly book with total snorkel again!”
