“The instructor was great. I almost passed out getting into the bubble. I think I became claustrophobic. However my diver helped me relax and the show went on. It was pretty cool. I said no to taking pictures in the beginning but ended up wanting pictures in the end, however it was too late. I just wish they took pictures of everyone regardless, but I had a great time. Thanks for making me feel comfortable guys..”
