Discover a different side of Cozumel aboard Atlantis XII, a real tourist submarine that takes you approximately 30 meters - 100 feet below the Caribbean Sea. Enjoy the underwater scenery from a dry, air-conditioned cabin: no swimming skills, diving experience or snorkeling equipment are required.
Your approximately two-hour experience begins with check-in and a safety briefing at Atlantis Submarines Cozumel. A boat transfer aboard ANA takes you to the submarine, where the crew helps organize boarding before the descent. The underwater portion lasts approximately 40–45 minutes.
Through the viewing windows, explore Chankanaab Reef, the dramatic Cozumel Wall and the Felipe Xicoténcatl shipwreck, now a habitat for marine life. Guided narration helps you understand the reef environment and the scenery along the route. Fish, corals and other wildlife are part of a natural ecosystem; sightings and visibility vary with conditions and are never guaranteed.
This is an appealing option for families with children aged four and older, cruise visitors and travelers who want to discover the sea while staying dry. Every passenger must meet the height requirement and independently climb the 12-step boarding ladder. A digital dive certificate is included as a souvenir of your experience.
