10 out of 10 would do SeaTrek in #sanjuan Puerto Rico. 🇵🇷 Went for my 4th wedding anniversary this year and spontaneously decided to do this under water adventure!! Honestly, it was super nerve racking at first. I did not think my ears would continuously pop the way they did😬. BUT, the guide have us a great tip to combat that and it worked like a charm!! They take video and pictures of you (at an extra charge of course, but who wouldn’t pay an extra $30 for memories like this!?!) The guide even brought a water bottle with breadcrumbs inside to attract 🐠fish. The picture with all the fish in front of us was because we were holding the bread bottle 😆.
