Did anyone do the Captain Nautica Power Raft Snorkeling Tour in St. Thomas? If so what is your opinion of it.

This is a great excursion! We have actually done it twice and I would highly recommend! Crew are very knowledgable and attentive!

I did the tour twice. The first time was in 2003 and the second was in 2008. I noticed that the reef had deteriorated the second time. It wasn't as nice. There was a lot of "fire coral." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fire_coral

 

That being said, the speed raft ride was a lot of fun. They gave us fruit to feed the fish. I actually got bit. The fish were aggressive once they saw that you had food.

Thanks for your responses. Blondecruiser can you tell me did you do the tour recently?

Looking for someone who has done this tour recently. I see that Carnival offers this 3.5 hr snorkel trip and I'm wondering how many people the boat fits? Does anyone know?
