Well, we didn't descend that far under water, but after completing our Atlantis submarine excursion, we did receive dive certificates confirming we had submerged 143 feet below the Caribbean Sea's surface.
We were really excited about the Atlantis submarine excursion. It was recommended to us by a relative, and it did not disappoint. We were picked up at the Barbados cruise port and driven to the Atlantis headquarters to board the boat which would take us out to meet the submarine. A very Caribbean-colored building...
We boarded the Ocean Quest and sailed out to meet Atlantis...
I wasn't sure what to expect. The boat stopped only about a half-mile from the shore. Everyone moved toward the front of the boat and waited...suddenly something started to emerge from the sea looking like a large beluga whale...
Periscope up!
Finally, we could see the entire submarine surface...
Our boat tendered alongside the submarine so the passengers currently on the submarine could board our boat, and we could descend into the submarine.
So we turned in our boarding passes...
And descended down the ladder to begin our excursion. In my next post I will share photos of our journey under the sea.
