basser Posted August 22, 2010 #1 Share Posted August 22, 2010 We will be on the Nov. 14 sailing of the Conquest and have done the Atlantis Submarine in Cozumel. How does it compare to the one in the Caymans? Is either more scenic or are they comparable? I am thinking of booking Cayman unless it is inferior to Coz.

marym933 Posted August 22, 2010 #2 Share Posted August 22, 2010 We did the one in Grand Cayman. We really enjoyed it, lots of fish and turtles. We booked through Carnival. We found out later we could have done it on our own and saved $$$. The sub meeting place is only 1 block from the tender pier. When you leave the pier, walk right. It is on the right side of the street. You can go in and buy your tickets. You are then taken by a double decker boat to the sub which is off-shore near the reef.

basser Posted August 22, 2010 Author #3 Share Posted August 22, 2010 Was there a lot of coral as well? I have been checking their website and can save $10.00 per person on the same time frame as the Carnival excursion both in Coz and Cayman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Froufie Posted August 22, 2010 #4 Share Posted August 22, 2010 We did this in Grand Cayman when ds was around 6 - fun and interesting - lots of fish and stuff to see! We also booked independently and found an online coupon to make it a bit cheaper! As mentioned very easy to find and get to once off the ship!

marym933 Posted August 22, 2010 #5 Share Posted August 22, 2010 We saw quite a bit of coral. At other times the bottom was sand. We went to 110 feet. At that depth, everything takes on a blue cast. I don't know where you meet in Cozumel. Is it as convenient as the Grand Cayman location or will you need a cab? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
basser Posted August 22, 2010 Author #6 Share Posted August 22, 2010 As I remember they met us at the pier with a boat to take us to the sub. we had booked independently. The coral and fish were amazing. We didn't see any turtles, but the drop off into the really deep water was neat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coltabsh Posted August 23, 2010 #7 Share Posted August 23, 2010 did the sub in hawaii but was disapointed because all the colorful fish looked the same there is no color when you go deep just all blue and black is all you see.. but was fun and can say i have been in a sub underwater Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
golfadj Posted August 23, 2010 #8 Share Posted August 23, 2010 We did it in GC and had an outstanding time. Not sure if there is much difference between the two. Asked them if they had any torpedoes on board and they said it was for the advanced class when you come back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DryCreek Posted August 23, 2010 #10 Share Posted August 23, 2010 but was fun and can say i have been in a sub underwater Yup, I can say that too - but the sub I was on didn't have any windows. It wasn't nearly as fun! Tell me more about this submarine attraction in Cozumel. Do they have a website I can check out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DGP1111 Posted August 24, 2010 #11 Share Posted August 24, 2010 I've done the Atlantis sub experience in both Cozumel and Grand Cayman. Both were very visual, very safe, and I enjoyed both. If I was forced to choose between the two, I'd say the one in GC was a wee bit better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dustyroad Posted August 24, 2010 #12 Share Posted August 24, 2010 Was there a lot of coral as well? I have been checking their website and can save $10.00 per person on the same time frame as the Carnival excursion both in Coz and Cayman. i did this last year in sept. there was alot of coral and fish but the double glass made it a little distorted and i could not see the true colors of everything looking out the window. it was still a great tour and i had a good time. but i would not spend the money on it again.
