Nautilus Undersea or Atlantis Semi-Submarine

[svmodi]

I can't decide between the Nautilus Undersea or Atlantis Semi-Submarine tour. Both are semi-submarine rides. The Nautilus is offered through Carnival, so it's more expensive. Has anyone done either of these tours or have any recommendations/insights of one tour over the other? Both take you to see the shipwrecks and Cheeseburger Reef. We like the ide of seeing the coral reefs and marine life without getting wet.

 

Thanks in advance!

My mom and I did the Atlantis submarine tour on our own. We really loved it. It took you about 100 feet underwater. We went down the side of a coral reef and then out a bit where there was a diver feeding some fish. We saw alot of fish, turtles, eels, etc. We loved the Atlantis submarine tour.:)

My husband and I did the Atlantis in St. Thomas and had a great time!

Anyone know a reputable company in Grand Cayman that I can book the Atlantis submarine through? Would like to avoid the ship excurson and go with a private tour operator. I believe my 6 year old grandson would enjoy this, as he is not ready for snorkeling yet. Thanks in Advance for any suggestions.

Just Google "Atlantis Submarine Grand Cayman". You will find the direct link to the company. I looked as I plan to take my DS, also 6, but the times available didn't work for our ship. I can book it through CCL and it isnt really much more expensive and includes transportation.

According to the map on the submarine site, transportation may not be an issue. The site does give other reasons to go through the cruise line here: https://www.caymanislandssubmarines.com/cruise-ship-guests
