Also, swimming in PIG ISLAND is just WAAAYYY over priced for what it is (Yes i did it) but I would never waste my time and money doing it again. Hope this helps  |
I am an avid freedive spearo (spearfish) and have decades of experience swimming with and fighting off sharks for the fish I speared, of all species including a massive Tiger Shark. I don’t plan on taking any dive trips/outings on this trip. We lived in Hawaii previously and lived in the water, I am not sure the family will be interested in doing any of that, but they might and we will see. I appreciate the information and tips.
The submarine trip and aquarium snorkeling sounds interesting, I will look into those options.
Pig Island isn’t worth it? What does that trip look like? Take a boat to Pig Island, jump in and swim with wild hogs, then depart back to Atlantis?
Keep it coming, I appreciate the insight.
