Well organized. The comments by the guide when the boat reached the reef were interesting and reminded the passengers of the importance of conservation and maintaining a healthy oceanic environment. The comments were not accusatory or angry. Rather they were factual and straightforward which added to their impact. Only disappointment was the lack of fish, but you have no control over that (I think).

Great views! Friendly and knowledgeable staff. Be sure to keep your eyes on the water when you first arrive! We saw sharks and a manatee before we even left port!

Very enjoyable ride out to Molasses Reef with informative crew. Mask wearing was enforced inside the main level based on US Federal Laws, not local mandates/lack of. But up on top masks are optional. Felt safe and fine the entire trip (about 2 hours total). Saw lots of coral and some interesting fish, and a turtle or two. Not a ton of fish but every day is different on the reef. The beautiful water/scenery and underwater viewing were great.
