When I saw this excursion, I thought of you!

YOUR OWN SCENIC UNDERWATER BUBBLE Oh, my goodness! This dive shop is a well-oiled machine. Everything has its place and everything is there....including the set from "FLIPPER". We wondered when we arrived how this man had designed such a quaint "set". We found out that he didn't; he chose to keep it after the movie moguls left with the dolphin! It is fun to see.
First of all, you and your fellow pilots will receive a submarine orientation. You will learn how to drive this machine--just simple operating and communication procedures. You'll even try one out on land to familiarize yourself with the easy to use controls.
After that, you will board a 55' support vessel that will take you to a beautiful reef, one of two stops you will make. The custom-built motorboat will lower your SUB into the water. All you need to do is pop your head into the large clear bubble helmet and sit down and - you're off!
The battery-powered
scooter travels at about 2 knots and will hover between 20 and 25 feet, tethered to a float on the surface and controlled entirely by you. Sealife will surround you. You will have 45 minutes actual "driving" time in your personal sub.
While 1/2 of your group is riding their personal subs, the other half will have the opportunity to snorkel (snorkel gear included in the price). The total boat trip lasts approximately 3 hours.
This is a perfect adventure for the safety conscious. There is no heavy equipment or weights on your body. You are submerged with four full-time professional divers and having the time of your life!
