Your in about 15-20 feet of water in 2-3 foot chop. We had 20 people on the boat but when I reserved I was told 16 was the max. So with the amount of people we had, he had to take us out in shifts which shortened our time. We were not far from DePalm Island which I thought had a lot more to see. You could swim to the deep water by yourself there. He was a real nice guy and treated us well with food and drink but I would not do it again.
