Atlantis submarine

We did the Atlantis submarine in March. We had fun and the kids had a good time trying to identify different fish and waving at the occasional scuba diver. We saw one shark and a bunch of fish. I had thought it may be somewhat claustrophobic on the sub, but it really wasn't. The boat ride to and from the sub was about 15 minutes and time on the sub was probably 50 min or so. The sub went down 118 feet.

Thanks for sharing details. How far is it from the docks to the boat that takes you to the sub?

we did it about 2 years ago and it was wonderful.... a great way to see more of the reef especially for younger kids, or people who don't snorkel. The cruiseline transport drops you off at the place, there's a short safety briefing, then you board the boat (right there), and drive out to the sub.... you watch the sub surface, and the people from the tour before you get on your boat, and then you get off your boat and onto the sub (requires climbing down a short ladder- they were very helpful with that- we had small kids and they did fine)- you all get a "window" set so no worries there... and you're off. About 50 min underwater, and it is reef the whole time- the sub is stationed right there on the reef. We saw 2 sharks, turtles, a stingray, an eel, and lots of fish. It was really worthwhile.
