Creator's Key Takeaways
If you come to Catalina, because it's a tender port, yeah, it's if you're not platinum or diamond or faster to the fun, it's going to take you an hour to 2 hours to get off.
A lot of times the excursions you book through this booth are cheaper than what you would do on the cruise ship.
It's really I would say educational. Yeah. And it's been a couple years at least since we've been on there.

From colorful fish and marine life to incredible underwater views, we're taking you along to see exactly what this experience is like, what you'll see beneath the surface, and whether it's worth adding to your Catalina Island itinerary.
