It’s not cheap but the Atlantis Submarine Adventure’s claim to see the Barbados “few ever get to see” is certainly true. Eighty-ton submarines carry 48 passengers in air conditioned comfort through a 50-minute, guided ocean tour. The subs, which have various safety certifications, carry passengers down to depths of 130 feet to view ship wrecks, sponge gardens, coral reefs, and exotic fish and marine life. The voyage begins with a seven-minute ride on a shuttle vessel, the “Ocean Quest,” which takes passengers to the Atlantis submarine, where the crew explains the voyage. The submarine first dives to 55 feet to view the coral reef and an abundance of marine life. Windows for seeing this underwater paradise are spacious. The pilot throughout the journey points out sea life and talks about the submarine itself -- a 65-foot-long vessel that has such safety features as constant radio contact with the shore. At the end of the cruise, an adult ticket includes a free lunch or t-shirt. All guests receive a complimentary drink and free transportation. The tour operator guarantees customer satisfaction or free tickets to another attraction.
