A nice experience. An hour boat ride with the telling of the history of how Tarpon Springs became the sponge capital of the world. With a live dive in the river to get a sponge. The crew was very nice. Nice for the family.

I've taken several visitors on this unique boat ride. Everyone enjoys it. The narration is excellent and seeing the demonstration of the sponge diver in the old diving suit is fascinating.
