John-
GREAT video!
I have a good friend who kicks like yours while snorkeling, and as you're well aware, it's hysterical to watch. I think he scares all of the fish away before he gets a chance to see them!

Been there 3x. Never had a bad experience. Food was typical pub fare and very delicious. The painkillers are just that, killers! You'll need a strecher to get you back to the boat after a few of those.

If you are going to go to Marina Cay, definitely try and go there for Beans' Happy Hour show at the bar on top of the hill. That's something worth experiencing - great time.

Pusser's is perfectly fine food, but nothing extraordinary about the experience.

This may not be feasible during a day charter, but if you can somehow otherwise swing it (if you are on an overnight charter), definitely work it in to your itinerary

The problem with going there on a large charter is that they call the order in ahead of time so they can keep to their schedule, this can result in the food being cooked ahead and sitting in the kitchen until you arrive. I have always had good food and service there. it's burgers, ribs, wings, etc. not a gourmet experience but good.

I agree about calling in the order, but I have arrived there and waited 20 minutes for the food. Plus, I don't see their kitchen being equipped for a 12 person party that arrives w/o calling in an order, either.

Its a great place, I just didn't like the food.

We spent 3 nights there in January 2009. We had a great time. Food was typical pub fare, and evening dinners were pretty good. Was it a gourmet delight? Nope. But we'd go back and eat there in a heartbeat.

Here is a photo from the restaurant:
