We are so happy that we could help make your day on Catalina so special and memorable! Thank you for the lovely review!
It was a very beautiful presentation however I would not allow people with chip bags. All we heard was everyone’s chip bag noise through the entire presentation. I couldn’t hear the beautiful music which ruined our experience.
How frustrating that your otherwise wonderful experience was impacted by a lack of consideration from other guests! We will continue to remind our audiences to be considerate as part of our intro. Thanks for the feedback - if you are still on island and want to return for a complimentary do-over, we'd love to see you again!
It was an interesting experience viewing how divers see life under water. We saw wonderful clips from various parts of our planet.
Thanks for the great review!
The video was cloudy in appearance and not very bright with color. My wife, who dove, that it was too dark to enjoy and would have dove another day in better conditions.
Thanks for the feedback and for taking the time to leave a review!
We really enjoyed the experience because it made you feel like you were there under water. 10 out of 10 would do it again.
Thanks for such a great review. We are so glad you had such a wonderful experience on your birthday!
We missed our initial viewing session, but the people working were very helpful in rescheduling, and we were amazed at the outcome. All family members were comfortable and happy.
We are pleased that we could reschedule you so you could be amazed by Ocean Wonders! Hope the rest of your trip was equally wonderful.
What a beautiful and relaxing experience. I have never been scuba diving, but now know why people love it. The dome looked small from the outside and didn't seem small at all once inside with the show. Definitely recommend it!!
Thanks for such a wonderful review. Our dome is small but mighty, and looks can definitely be deceiving! We are thrilled that you got to have "that feeling" of being underwater - it's truly life changing.
This experience was another level we felt we were under ocean this adventure is really awesome.
What a wonderful review to start the week off with! Thank you so much for great review!
Very relaxed but eye-opening presentation, thanks for keeping it available to all. We will come see it again eventually, highly recommended 😌
Thank you so much for the excellent review - we would love to see you return! Reach out to us about a discount for repeat business!
We had a great experience! The screen really does a wonderful job simulating a diving experience. We enjoyed the bean bag chairs the best to appreciate the screen. I appreciated that we could bring in our own snacks/refreshments - really made it comfortable. Location is very easy to find and check in was friendly and quick. This experience is a nice break from being outdoors - very comfortable in the dome with A/C.
Thank you for taking the time to write such a detailed, and helpful review. We love it when families come away happy!
