Has anyone done this Grand Cayman excursion?

Atlantis Deep Explorer (1-1.5 hours)

Dive in a real submarine made for just two passengers! Both of you will take a boat from the George Town dock to a sophisticated deep-diving research submarine for your personal voyage under the sea to the Cayman Wall - reaching depths of up to 800 feet! It's a one-of-a-kind adventure far below the surface.


If you have...is there a driver of the little sub...did you like it. I am thinking of this as a surprise for my hubby.

Thanks,

Cheryl

I've heard such great things about this trip. Friends of ours did it on our last trip and LOVED IT. They even got a video of it. They went down and saw a wreck and alot of marine life down the wall.

I want to do this one but am waiting until the kids are older.

Atlantis Deep Submarine Explorer

This site has great info on the dive and the submarine. I think its also cheaper to book with Cayman Islands Discounts and they have a cheaper price then even Atlantis Offers if you book directly with them...go figure.

I'm sure you and your husband will love it!!!!

BTW: do book earlier, our friends had some trouble getting a good dive time as they only have one deep sub so when it books up, you're out of luck.

We did not do this Atlantis sub trip, But we did do an Atlantis trip in Barbados.

It was pricey, but a once in a life time experience. the ship was well run. We actually took a tender out to sea, and all of a sudden this sub just surfaces right beside us.

Saw lots of stuff. very cool. Since I have a bad ear, I can't snorkel and this was definitely worth it.

ALSO, make sure your wear something red, as there was an effect where the red light of the spectrum was absorbed at the depth we travelled and didn't show up.

I would reccomend it.
