We were hesitant to trying this having never snorkeled or scuba but you just have to believe in the science. It was a beautiful day and we were lucky enough to be in a small group of six. After an informative 45 minute ride out to the site Greg got us wetsuits as the water was still a little chilly.... More

I had read positive reviews, talking about what an amazing experience this was, and they were absolutely right. We were in the last group to go down from our boat, so we had quite a while to wait. As the other groups came up, everyone talked about how incredible it was. I didn't think it would live up to everyone... More

Thought the weather was gorgeous from 3/16-27, they were not open. Would have really liked to have tried it. (Price seemed high though) More

We were very fortunate to be the first on this trip this season. Greg and Andrew were absolutely First class hosts! We had an amazing 50 minutes underwater exploring the most colorful fish and coral. I cannot wait to bring my son back next year to experience this trip again - Thank you guys for making our Easter Break to... More

Our tour was added on by the cruise line because all the other tours were booked. Granted this tour gets great reviews and I am glad I did it...I would not do it again. It was alot of money and I felt it was more about the pictures than the beautiful creatures underwater. The pictures cost extra but we got... More

If you don't or can't scuba or snorkle, but have always wanted to 'swim with the fishes,' this is for you. Capt. Greg Hartley continues the business his father started and provides an experience you won't forget. It might look a bit intimidating, but we two sedentary retirees (75 & 62) did it, and didn't even get our hair wet.... More

I went on an amazing cruise with my girlfriend (our first vacation together) and our destination was Bermuda. She had found Hartley's while searching for things to do and immediately said that we had to do it. I couldn't be happier. Greg Hartley, regardless of what some reviews might say, was an absolute delight. And he is a master of... More

Dear Eric and friend, Thanks for the rave review. They say happy wife...happy life. Perhaps your girlfriend was so happy with the tour that you are now happy too.LOL It is quite amazing that people get out of our tour what they put into it. Your happiness and satisfaction come from within. Thank you for allowing us to be a... More

Dear Eric, You honor us with your review. It is indeed a badge of distinction that our tour should prompt you to make your first plunge into the world of posting reviews.

You have to do this if you are going to Bermuda! My wife can't dive due to her ears but she could do this and loved it. Greg has a true love for the sea and it shows. I could have stayed down there for hours.. If your cruise line does not offer it - Call them direct.. They are... More

Dear Dave, Thanks for your inspiring review. In the middle of 'winter' when the wind blows and it is too rough to dive it is great to hear positive echos of accomplishments of the past. I see from the photo you posted that Charles showed up for you. You lucked out. I feel blessed every time he shows up. However,... More

Greg and Ben were great guides. The experience is like none other I have ever experienced. Highly recommend this activity if you visit Bermuda. Greg has a genuine love and respect for the ocean and the fish actually know him. Ask him about the baby eel that came around for the first time this July. Enjoy, you won't be sorry! More
