Because of the flexible nature of our Expedition sailings, we do not pre-book your submarine excursion for a specific day or port during your voyage. By booking this experience on the embarkation day, you are signing up for any of the departures that may be available throughout your Expedition, and not for a dive in the embarkation port. Once on board, your Expedition team will assign you a specific date and time of departure and will ensure that you have opportunity to participate in any other expedition activities that are operating that day.
Please see the expedition coordinator once on board if you are interested in diving in specific destinations or if you would like to book or waitlist for a second submarine experience.
Seventy-one percent of the surface of our planet is covered by ocean water. What lies beneath the surface is less documented and understood than any other part of our world. Join a submarine tour to explore the unknown depths and be potentially the very first to set eyes on whatever you encounter - jellyfish, a single small fish, a teeming coral reef or simply the joy of exploring the ocean depths. The fact that we do not know what we might find is part of the adventure. Admire the amazing technology of these fascinating subs and be excited to explore new worlds without getting wet! Whatever you encounter underwater, take the time to appreciate that you are in a place on this earth where very few people have ever been.
Please note: Submarines are sensitive to adverse weather conditions and dives can be cancelled at a moment’s notice. You will need to be able to negotiate a narrow hatch and several steps on a vertical ladder to enter and exit the sub. An accurate weight of each participant including the gear (cameras etc.) being brought into the sub is required for the pilot to calculate safe diving parameters. Minimum age is 8. Guests under the age of 18 must be accompanied by an adult. Guests will be required to remove shoes and will wear special socks before entering. The duration submerged under water is 45 minutes on average. (Dis)embarking the submarine will take place from a Zodiac at a suitable location depending on operational requirements.
