Rhodes scuba outing review: beginner-friendly boat trip, one included underwater session, snorkeling, costs, timing, safety, and practical tips.

“Hey, so I had this amazing experience with Mike and his crew. They're super knowledgeable and skilled. The trip is a full day on the boat at the bay, but it's not a full day of scuba diving. You only get one dive that lasts about 10-15 minutes, but you can buy more dives while you're on the boat. They also have free snorkeling equipment if you're into that. This is perfect for beginners because it gives you the confidence to go diving or get certified in diving, which they also offer on the boat..”

Guess my face doesn’t work with masks, but my partner had a very nice experience and overall was a good day for us. The problem I’m having is that we paid for a video and photos for my partner but didn’t receive any so far.”

“I and my 11 year old son did this a week ago. I can only review it from the perspective of a first timer. It was really awesome. I couldn’t have asked for a better first time experience for both of us. The two of us were assigned a lead instructor and an assistant. The lead instructor went through what the experience would be like and helped us get fitted into our gear.
