Description:
ST. MICHAEL PARISH. Want to view shipwrecks and coral but don't like to get wet? A tour aboard the $3 million, 28-passenger submarine Atlantis is just the ticket! Your visit begins with an informational video; then you board the sub, submerge to a depth of 130 feet, and begin a narrated tour of a shipwreck, sponge garden and coral reef. Divers accompany the sub and feed the fish so you get to view many colorful species at close range. After your trip you are even awarded a dive certificate! This is family-friendly entertainment, but children must be at least 3 feet tall to participate. Atlantis also offers an exciting "power snorkel" adventure, which makes use of individual hand-held underwater scooters. |

View the rugged east coast with its sharp cliffs and pounding surf. Then fly over to the gentler west coast with its calm waters and soft, sandy beaches. The blues and greens of the water are much more intense from the air, so bring your camera or video recorder and capture the experience. |
