Crew was fun and knowledgeable, the submarine was comfy and visibility great. The reefs were teeming with fish of all kinds and we saw two shipwrecks. The kids absolutely loved it (ages 10 and 12).

OMG...how cool it was to ride on a submarine. I would do it again...big fun. We saw many schools of fish and a few huge barracudas. The best part is when the submarine shoots back up to the top of the ocean.

My wife and I took the Atlantis Submarine cruise. From my wife's journal, "We were taken to a dock, where we boarded a boat that took us out to the submarine. We sat on long benches in the submarine, facing a porthole. We went down to 107 feet and saw two shipwrecks. We also saw lots of coral reefs, sand, and tiny fish--some in huge schools. I was disappointed that the fish weren't larger and more colorful. A picture was taken of each couple before we got on the submarine, and the pictures were ready on board the ship that transported us." I agree with what she wrote and also found what we saw somewhat disappointing. The seats were most uncomfortable. Awfully pricey for what we saw.

Aloha! Thank you for taking the time to share your review. We're thrilled to hear you and your wife enjoyed the coral reefs and large schools of fish! However, we sorry to hear that it wasn't as exciting as you had hoped. The ocean is often quite unpredictable, and sightings of underwater life vary from hour to hour. We will share your valuable feedback with our leadership team for careful consideration. We hope to have another opportunity to welcome you and your wife aboard again in the future. Mahalo!
