Never thought I'd get to ride in a submarine, but there I was at the bottom of the Pacific! Super cool excursion. We saw two shipwrecks, reefs, and lots of fish. My kids loved the cards attached that helped them identify this fish they were seeing. The ride was a comfortable temperature, and seating was such that everyone had a window seat. Of particular interest to me was how quickly red disappeared, and everything looked blue. Would definitely recommend this tour.

Very cool being on a sub, over 100ft underwater. My kids loved it. Be forewarned though, lots of rocking on the ferry that takes you to the sub and on the sub itself before it submerges. If anyone is prone to motion sickness, this will set it off. Otherwise, definitely worth doing.

We were a bit disappointed with the visibility from the submarine. The colors are faded and we only saw small fish. Our excellent guide Jason provided quite interesting information about the fish and the sunk ships, which saved the activities. I only recommend for people that can’t do diving or snorkeling for any reason.
