rkacruiser Posted December 2, 2004 #1 Share Posted December 2, 2004 Has anyone done this? I would appreciate learning of your reaction and if you feel it is worth the money. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buddy lee Posted December 3, 2004 #2 Share Posted December 3, 2004 My wife and I did it 5 years ago on our honeymoon cruise. It was kinda cool going into a sub and going under water, but we went on a rainy day and couldn't see anything. Even if we could have seen everything, I don't think it is worth the inflated price. It's like being at an aquarium, only the fish are looking at you in captivity! Hope it helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zydecocruiser Posted December 3, 2004 #3 Share Posted December 3, 2004 I think the OP is about the really expensive, really deep diving research sub that takes you down to about 800 ft (or there is another flavor that only goes to 400 ft, I believe). I don't think too many people do it - I've never met anyone who has. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rkacruiser Posted December 6, 2004 Author #4 Share Posted December 6, 2004 Thank you for your reply. I am surprised, however, by part of your response. How would a rainy day on the surface have any impact upon what you saw or didn't see under the ocean's surface? Did the sub not have its own lights to illuminate the area in which you were diving? One does not have to go down too deeply before much light from the Sun is lost. It has been my impression that this trip goes down along the Cayman Wall. Is this not what your dive do?

Marcys Posted December 6, 2004 #5 Share Posted December 6, 2004 While we did the 100 foot dive, 2 people in our CC group did the dive down to 1,000 feet and absolutely loved it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buddy lee Posted December 7, 2004 #6 Share Posted December 7, 2004 rka cruiser, The clouds limited the amount of sunlight coming through the water, and for some reason, teh water was very cloudy that day. I dunno if it was the weather or something else, but it wasn't worth it IMHO. I hope if you should choose this mission, that you have better luck.

bishop35 Posted December 17, 2004 #7 Share Posted December 17, 2004 I believe this tour is still closed because of the hurricane. My wife and I were going to do it at the end of January and they said it wouldn't be open by then. We decided to do the Atlantis sub in Cozumel instead. Let me know if there is any updated information. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rkacruiser Posted December 30, 2004 Author #8 Share Posted December 30, 2004 I booked the deep dive excursion on Princess' website; it was available. But, the shallower dive was listed as not available. If I find out that there is any change before I depart for my cruise, I will post that information here.
