Overview

Enjoy an awesome and interactive underwater eco-tour wearing Hartley diving helmets. One's head stays dry. Glasses, contacts, make-up, and big hair are fine. Just walk, breathe and smile. Easier than snorkeling, yet more interactive than scuba diving. Even pet and hold fish while you are having your photo taken! Optional photos for extra charge. Simply walk down the 9 fooot ladder, which is attached to the boat, and walk on the sandy bottom, right in front of thriving Bermuda coral reefs. Meet and interact with Celebrity Fish: Diana the angelfish, Charles the Hog fish, Donald the grey snapper and many more! Undersea walk lasts approximately 30-40 minutes. Join Greg Hartley for a enlightening, sugar coated biology lesson, that is the most fun ever. We have thick, full length, warm wet suits when water temp is below 80F. Hotel pickup and drop-off not included. The boat docks at Dockyard, by the Moongate where the ships are.
