ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE!
We were incredibly fortunate to have BIG BIRD as our snorkel guide. He is the BEST! I am a freak in the water, hate being cold, and sink like a rock, so Bird really had his work cut out for him. I went with my husband and 2 adult children and forced myself to be part of the family experience and to my surprise, I had the best time!! I owe it all to BIG BIRD. He secured a life jacket around my waist ... more and I also held onto a life ring with a tow line in his hands. I felt so safe and comfortable that I actually relaxed and enjoyed the turtles, rays, colorful fish, coral, squid, etc. I even swam with the nurse sharks! We had a Go Pro camera and Bird took it several times to take close up videos of the rays, turtles, squid and fish. He popped up to the surface constantly to tell us about what we were seeing. Bird is so energetic, knowledgeable, and passionate about the sea life in this reef that we couldn't help but LOVE it too! On the boat, there were huge birds hovering over him, that literally ate right out of his hand--maybe that's where his nickname comes from! Anyway, Bird went above and beyond to ensure that our family had a wonderful experience and we are so thankful that he was our guide. Thanks BIG BIRD!
