Atlantis vs. Nautilus

[txcruisers09]

Any recommendations on Atlantis submarine vs. Nautilis semi-sub? I'm trying to decide if there is really much difference. The price is double for Atlantis. I would do it if it was a lot better but if there's not much difference we might as well just do Nautilus. Has anyone done either of these?

The Atlantis is a real submarine that goes down about 100ft. Less light down there, so the colors are dull. Nautilus I believe is more like a glass bottom boat. You can see down, you benefit from all the surface light. You can see the same stuff you could see while snorkeling.

I'm planning on the Atlantis in a couple of weeks with my 5 yr old son.

Anyone have any recommendations? I would hate to go on Atlantis and everything be dull because of the lack of light but it seems that there might be more interesting sights deeper than the glass bottom boat will show.

We did the Atlantis in Dec/05....true...the colours are a bit washed out when you are down 100', but....how often do you have a chance to go in a sub down a 100'? That is why we went on it....likely will never have another chance to do it and it was fun
