The tour takes you over the abundant reef systems that surround Grand Bahama Island.  Through the large observation windows, you can watch as the boat approaches these reefs and reveals the complex structure of these vital underwater cities.  Catch a glimpse of symbiotic relationships between the coral and tropical fish and look out for sea turtles, reef sharks, and barracuda.  The tour includes a visit to Theo's wreck—an enormous ship sunk in 1982 to supply a safe haven to marine species and to provide an ideal location for diving, snorkeling and underwater observation.   As you gaze through the viewing area, you will truly be amazed by the extent of underwater visibility in this Caribbean paradise.  The view on deck is equally impressive, offering you incredible vistas of the pristine beaches and unique landmarks that encompass the Freeport area.
