Not a certified diver? Don’t worry. You can become an Aquarist for a day and feed the stingrays, shark, or turtle in their Animal Encounters program, or just spend a relaxing day at the aquarium.
Spend a day at the spa
You want this. You do. Grab your honey and head over to one of the spas on this list. You won’t regret it.
