Captain Crystal is one guide noted for her humor and warm style.

“We got picked up by Captain Crystal - an amazing, funny and charming guide. Stingray City was fantastic, the chance to hold, feed and swim with these magnificent creatures was amazing. The island hop off to see the giant tortoises was just as good, to be able to feed, touch and interact with a 200lb tortoise will be a memory no one should pass up. This was a great experience from start to finish, 10 out of 10. Crystal gets the last mention - a wonderful lady.”
