Island Marketing is a third party middle man selling this tour. Stuart Cove is the tour operator.

 

This is a great adventure.. I'd book directly with the tour operator.

Thanks! I read some posts from last year and someone mentioned jellyfish...do you happen to know if there are a lot of jellyfish in the water?

jellyfish come and go with the season, weather and tide.. no telling when they will be in.

 

We haven't been bothered with them lately.

I snorkeled for the first time ever with Stuart Cove and they were wonderful! I was with DH and our two kids who were 9 and 11 I believe. They were really great with my 9 year old son. I would highly recommend them.

OK so now my question is about payment...Stuart Cove requires 100% payment at the time of booking, whereas Island Marketing only requires a deposit...

 

Is this anything to be worried about? I usually don't like to pay everything up front just in case we don't make the stop or something else happens. I don't have experience with either one, but maybe I'm worrying over nothing.
