A real submarine to the reef

About Atlantis Submarines

Atlantis Submarines takes you down in a real passenger submarine to see the coral reefs and wrecks off the west coast. There are day dives, a night dive with powerful spotlights on the reef (Atlantis says only Barbados offers submarine tours at night) and a combined submarine and cave package. It is one of the easiest ways for non-divers and children to see the reef.

Why it's on our list

  • Real submarine
  • Night dives too
  • Good for families

Opening hours, prices and seasonal openings change, so please check with Atlantis Submarines before you go.
