Amazing experience, took my father, he loved
¡Hola! Nos hace muy felices saber eso, les mandamos un saludo Submarineros. Gracias por su reseña.
Fantastic Excursion & Experience! This was our 2nd time doing the Atlantis Submarine in Cozumel, and 4th time overall with Atlantis, the other two were in Hawaii. We brought our Son, Daughter-in-law, and Grandson. We all loved it! What a wonderful way to see many aquatic creatures, and a few surprises. Also a great way to escape the heat. We saw a lemon shark which was really cool, an enormous lobster, and so many fish. I would not hesitate to do this excursion again.
Thank you so much for your fantastic review. We're honored that you've chosen to dive with us in both Cozumel and Hawaii, that truly means a lot. And bringing your son, daughter-in-law, and grandson along for this latest adventure makes it even more special. We truly appreciate your kind words and your trust in us over the years. We hope to welcome your family back on board again. Warmly 🌊🤿
It was amazing to be so low and too see all the different species of fish
Hello Charlotte, We're glad you had a good time with us. Kind regards.
Such a great alternative to experience the marine life if you don't want to get wet!! The crew was very welcoming and the whole experience was memorable
Hello Katerina, Thank you so much for your kind words! 😊 We're so glad you enjoyed this unique way to explore marine life and yes, staying dry while diving over 100 feet is definitely one of the best parts! Regards.
Very interesting and beautiful! The staff was very friendly and efficient! The guide on the submarine helped point out things that I would not have seen if he had not pointed them out!
Hello John, 😊 We're thrilled to hear you found the experience interesting and beautiful, it means a lot that you noticed the friendliness and efficiency of our team. We're especially glad our guide was able to point out details you might have otherwise missed. Warmly 🌊
Be aware that 4 is the minimum age. And the child needs to be somewhat confident and independent, because entry to the sub is tricky and could be scary. I didn't read the conditions carefully when booking, so we had to split our party so that a parent could stay behind with our 3 year old. OTHER THAN THAT it was a good experience. VERY well organized and friendly. Saw a gig variety of fish and a nice surprise at the end.
Hello Barry, Thank you for sharing your honest feedback. We're really glad that overall you had a good experience! 😊 Yes, our minimum age is 4 years old, and children do need to be able to safely navigate the submarine's entry hatch with minimal assistance. This is a safety requirement, not a preference, and we completely understand how disappointing it can be when a little one can't join. We're sorry that the age and mobility requirements weren't clearer to you before booking. We'll review our communication to ensure families see this information early. That said, we're glad you were able to split your party so at least part of your group could enjoy the dive. Regards,
Need to know you have to pay an additional $13 fee per person to the government. Before they’ll let you into the waiting area for the experience.
Hello, that's correct. We charge a reef protection fee of $13 USD per person. This fee applies to all visitors to the marine nature park in Cozumel. Regards.
Very good experience right from the start to end. The crew is very knowledgeable and clear in providing instructions that are required. Even my 3 and half yr old(height needs to be more than 42inches) also enjoyed the ride. Wouldn't say that the corals are the best but overall experience is worth. Also the place is very close to the port and would take less than 10min from the port exit.
Hello! Thank you so much for sharing your experience! We're delighted to hear that from start to finish, you and your family enjoyed the ride. It's great that the crew's knowledge and clear instructions helped make everything smooth and comfortable. Warm regards! 🌊🤿
This experience was better than we imagined! The staff was very friendly, the view from the submarine was unreal, and everything was efficient and clean!
Thank you so much for your wonderful review! 😊 We're absolutely thrilled to hear that the experience was even better than you imagined. Knowing that our staff made you feel welcome and confortable is exactly what we hope for all our visitors. Regards.
Great time, money well spent. Professional business who took safety serious and ensured everyone had a memorable trip.
