Shark Encounter & Snorkeling

I had the greatest time visiting Ocean World!

My family and I especially enjoyed the shark show as the presenters, Juan Valdez, Jhensy, Adriano, and Jesús made it a very funny and personable experience. I would especially like to mention Adriano (I believe his name is) as he was quite humorous and helpful. As well, Jhensy did an amazing job being lively, engaging, and thorough with his presentation! We also thought highly of the birds, thank you for that experience. Please extend my thanks to these amazing workers because they deserve to know what a great job they are doing! -Keisha
