Submarine Tour in Cozumel Island, Mexico
The places of submarine tours selected based on the availability of operators for submarine tours there. In Cozumel Island in Mexico, the well-known Atlantis Submarine offers various underwater tours. Cozumel is a popular scuba diving spot in the world and naturally, it is also suitable for submarine tours and submarine exploration.

Hawaii is probably the only island in the world that compels a visitor to stay for a minimum of two weeks because of a great range of places to see and fantastic adventure activities to indulge in.
The Atlantis Submarine has three platforms in the Hawaiian Islands namely Maui, Kona, and Waikiki
The Atlantis submarines are generally large and can accommodate nearly 50 people! Your Hawaiian underwater tour will last for about 100 minutes.

Submarine Tour in Honduras
Submarine Idabel is another exclusive company that offers underwater exploration in their submarine but it is only for two people (not necessarily a couple in the real sense). The submarine plunges to unbelievable depths in the Caribbean Sea, up to 3000 feet! I don’t think the surface light will penetrate to such depth. You remain underwater for about three and a half hours!
Lovers Deep Submarine Tours
Lovers Deep is another submarine company that operates submarine tours in a few locations in the Caribbean Islands.
In the Caribbean Sea waters, the Lovers Deep’s submarines take the passengers to really deep (up to 650 feet down).
This is more of a submarine cruise trip offered to couples and honeymooners. They even offered a bedroom! Do you know what the romantic couples provided in their all-inclusive submarine cruise package? An aphrodisiac meal!
Submarine Tours to be started in Cochin
Cochin in India is a major tourist hub with beaches, islands, and cruises. The Government of Kerala is ready to launch a submarine off the Arabian coast. The ambitious tourism project is awaiting clearance from the shipping department.
It is expected the submarine will descend up to 300 feet in the Arabian Sea and can take 24 passengers. The submarine cruise will be for three hours. When the underwater ship begins operation, it would be the first submarine tour in India.
