Anyone do the aqua tour at EPCOT?

[redmonster]

I am interested in doing the aqua tour at EPCOT as I am not scuba certified. Anyone experience it yet. Would like some feedback if you have. The time in the tank do you have to stay a float on top like snorkeling or do you get to go around in the tank. Your help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks so much,

Linda

yes, you wear a flotation device. you cannot leave the surface, but you can swim around. just can't get within 10 feet of the dolphin area or intentionally touch any of the turtles.

it's still an incredible tour. worth every penny. except for the wetsuits.

I surprised my husband with the Aqua Seas Tour on our last trip. He loved it! It is not the scuba tour- he's not certified. It was snuba I think. My son and I were watching him from inside of the exhibit. They did not just stay on the surface, but the tanks they had weren't able to go down too far. He and the others did swim down into the tank and came pretty close to the windows where we were. If I remember right he spent about 20 to 30mins actually in the water after a guided behind the scenes tour. He loved it! He wants me to take it this time. We would highly recommend it.
