Atlantis Cozumel: Submarine Experience

About this experience

Atlantis Cozumel: Submarine Experience is an underwater attraction off the coast of Cozumel, Mexico, operating aboard a passenger submarine that descends to depths of around 30 metres. It is the first tourist submersible in Mexico, running for approximately two hours from the departure point on Carretera a Chankanaab. A live guide accompanies each dive, narrating what passengers observe through the large viewing windows as the vessel moves along the reef. The submarine passes over coral formations populated by tropical fish, rays, and other marine life native to the Caribbean reef system. A notable stop on the route is a sunken US Navy vessel, now encrusted with coral and serving as an artificial reef. Tickets cover the two-hour experience and the on-board live guide; the marine park fee of MXN 225 per person, ferry transport to Cozumel, food, and drinks are not included and must be arranged separately. The experience is not wheelchair accessible. For more things to do in Playa Del Carmen, including day trips to Cozumel, a range of options is available across the region.
