Atlantis Maui Submarine Adventure
Experience the magic of an Atlantis Maui Submarine Adventure and create lifetime memories as you explore the clear coastal waters of Maui. Check out the new underwater home of the historic Carthaginian vessel which was sunk to create a new artifical reef for the local marine inhabitants.
The biggest attraction on Maui is more than 100 feet below the ocean and the Atlantis Maui Submarine Adventure is your ticket to see it. Take a once-in-a-lifetime undersea adventure in an Atlantis Submarine, the world's first and most technologically advanced passenger submarine, and journey into a spectacular blue world in spacious air-conditioned comfort. To enhance the submarine experience and help improve the marine environment, an artificial reef was created in December 2005 by sinking the aged Carthaginian replica of a 19th century supply vessel. The sunken Carthaginian, which needed major repairs and would have been scuttled at sea otherwise, is anchored to a sandy bottom in 95 feet of water that is devoid of coral reef. The resulting artificial reef is developing into a self-sustaining habitat for indigenous fish, coral and other marine life. After a 15 minute trip to the dive site you will board the submairne and be submerged below the surface. You will be underwater for around 45 minutes before resurfacing and returning to the dock. From December through May, you may enjoy whale watching during the ship-to-shore journey as humpback whales make their annual migration through the warm Pacific waters.
