I suggest wearing a swimsuit under your clothes and bringing a change of clothes. After parasailing, you'll definitely want to dry off and feel comfy, trust me!

My advice is to bring your own towels and snacks. They have a small cafe but prices are a bit high for what you get. I always pack a picnic and save some cash!

I think the waiting area could use more seating. If you're going during peak times, get ready to find a spot to sit. Would've been nice to have more room for families

I suggest calling ahead to check class availability; it can get super busy on weekends and you might end up waiting longer than expected. Trust me, I learned that the hard way!

I recommend checking their schedule for special events. There was a family night when I visited, and it made the whole experience way more fun. Don't miss out on that.

I suggest visiting on a weekday morning if you can, it's way less crowded then and you get more one-on-one time with the instructors.

Bring a towel and swimsuit for yourself too! I figured I was just there to watch my kid, but ended up in the water to help out during practice.

Try to book the classes online in advance, I found they fill up pretty quick. You don’t want to miss out!

Definitely check their schedule beforehand... I showed up on a day when classes were fully booked and had to wait around longer than expected

My advice is to bring a snack for the kids. There’s a little waiting area that can feel like forever if they get bored and hungry.

Don't forget to check their schedule for open swim times! My advice is to plan your visit around those times for a much more relaxed experience, instead of hitting the peak hours.

Bring your own snacks and drinks! The food options there are a bit pricey and limited. I wish I'd packed a cooler full of treats, it would’ve saved me some cash

If you can try to visit on a weekday before 4 PM to avoid the crowds. Sunday afternoons can get super busy and you'll spend more time waiting around than actually swimming.

Bring your own snacks and drinks! The on-site options can be pricey and not the best. I saved money and enjoyed my own food while chatting with other divers.

Make sure to book your dives in advance, especially on weekends. I didn't, and we had to wait a while for a spot. It saved me a lot of hassle knowing I had it reserved later

My advice is to chat with the instructors about your skill level. They’re really helpful! I didn’t do this and ended up with a lesson a bit too advanced for me, which was kinda frustrating.

I suggest booking your gear in advance, especially if you're going during peak season. I waited until the last minute and ended up with limited choices. Save yourself some time and snag the good stuff early!

If you're planning on renting gear for a few days, look into their multi-day discount packages! I missed out on savings because I didn’t ask, and I could’ve saved a good chunk on rentals.

My advice is to bring extra snacks and drinks. The dive site can get a bit remote and there aren't many places nearby. Plus, it's nice to have some munchies on hand while you wait

I suggest booking your dives online in advance. I tried to walk-in, but they were fully booked for the day! Don't miss out on the fun, it's super popular!

I think you should consider scheduling your visit on a weekday right after school hours, around 4 PM. It felt less crowded, so we got more personal attention from the instructors, which was awesome!

My advice is to bring snacks for the kids. The waiting area can feel long if you're waiting for multiple classes, and having some snacks on hand kept my little ones happy and patient!
