Great fun and really enjoyed the experience. We did the 30 mins (€40) each - myself and 4 teenage lads who hadnt done it before but had a brilliant time. It was a raining when we arrived and we were supplied with wet suits but it cleared up just before we went out but this all added to the experience. Staff were very helpful on the day.
