Aruba's only underwater passenger submarine
Atlantis Submarines Aruba is the proud recipient of
the Lifetime Achievement Iguana Award for being
"Aruba's most outstanding and supporting tourist attraction."
Atlantis VI, Aruba's only real submarine adventure offers you
multiple dive sites through the living world of the Barcadera Reefs,
the mysteriously sunken airplane or the graceful lady of the deep,
the retired Mi Dushi, a 70 year old Danish fishing trawler.
All the dive sites have very intriguing stories which will keep you
fascinated during the hour-long narration of the co-pilot, and all
too soon the thrilling dive comes to an end and it is time to get
back to reality. You will get lost in the world of color and
abundance of exotic fish, spectacular sponge gardens, unusual
marine creatures and fascinating formations which are unveiled
through the crystal-clear viewports.
After completion of the dive,
you will receive an official dive certificate as proof that you
have been to the comfortable depths of 150 feet on the
only real submarine adventure in Aruba!
