See Mahon from an open-deck catamaran, get a history narration, then try underwater views in clear port waters for one hour.
“We went to check out the port to make sure we were in the right place, and as the boat leaving at that time wasn't full, we were able to get on and enjoy the experience earlier. It was a bonus and the crew were nice. It was a lovely sunny day and the views are beautiful. They had warned us as we got on, that the wind meant we may not get a clear viewing of fish in the glass area, however we saw plenty! Good value for money.”
