      We had Skye as our instructor and she was great in showing us different things in the lesson. We got to see lots of fish, a cushion sea star, and baby jellyfish. And the great thing is you can keep your gear for the rest of the day.

      Instructors are very well-informed, kind, committed to keep our safety all time when we are in the ocean. They're the best I've ever met before. Gears are not bad. Location is 3 min away from the beach. Need to avoid crowded day, the beach and parking lot are small.

      Thank you for your rating - we are so glad you enjoyed your time with us! We love our instructors too! We look forward to welcoming you again soon. Thanks, The Goat Island Dive & Snorkel Team
