The Atlantis submarine descends to thirty metres above the Cozumel reef, with no need to be a diver or even a strong swimmer. It's one of the few experiences in the region that gives access to the coral seabed while staying completely dry.
You board through a central hatch. Inside, each passenger settles along the sides, facing a large individual porthole. The descent is gentle and announced in two languages, and the pilot follows the reef drop-off, crosses a coral canyon and then rises through a brighter zone. Fan corals, sea fans, tube sponges and reef fish come one after another, described by a crew member.
Good to know: the 230 peso federal tax is not included and is paid locally. Transport from your hotel and the ferry to Cozumel are not included either.
