The Catalina island was beautiful. The scuba diver instructors were great. Got great pictures and videos. The food on the island was delicious. I would definitely do this again but I would not book with this company. I rather do a private tour and pay extra. For starters, I booked the vip all day scuba that starts at 930 a.m. The night before I get a random text message stating pick up is at 710 am. No introduction on who it was especially since I have several things booked. So communication can be better. After pick up we get dropped off to another pick up spot who is picking up everyone else from the nearby areas. This process was over an hour just standing around. Then we drove over an hour to LA Romona were we finally boarded a catamaran to the island. The scuba and snorkeling was nice. Those that didn't want to participate got to go to the beach so i left my husband and headed to the beach and got a nice massage while he did scuba. By the time my husband arrived to the island most of the food was out. We paid for Vip so you get a chance to eat wild caught fish or shrimp from the grill which he did but got no side options besides salad because they were out. No wine which was included in the Vip. The return home was chaotic. The main turn off for me is transportation. There has to be a better way to do it. Some suggestions should be to have a worker with the name of hotels that the buses are going to. People were boarding the wrong busses including us after being instructed to do so. This delayed the process. Left at 7 am from the hotel arrived a little after 7 pm. Spent more hours traveling than anything else. Will do private next time.
