What happens on your Oahu submarine ride?
Your underwater submarine tour will begin as you're picked-up at your Waikiki hotel.
You will then be delivered to the harbor where you board the special Atlantis shuttle boat which takes you out to the actual submarine itself about a mile of shore which is already poised over its dive site in the channel.
After transferring to the submarine your descent will begin. As the submarine makes its initial submersion into the blue Pacific you will be delighted as you get your first glimpse of the underwater world.

From your vantage point comfortably seated on-board you will view the ocean depths through large glass viewing ports. Oahu's colorful reefs and marine life will become a part of your world the day you take the tour and you'll truly have a glimpse of a day in the life of the marine life beneath the sea. Your trip below the surface will include the viewing of natural coral formations, concrete "pyramid" structures, Japanese-designed artificial reefs, the remains of two sunken airliners, remains of two shipwrecks, the USS. Navy tanker ship YO-257 and the Korean fishing boat, St. Pedro. Special attention and much scientific research has gone into the layout and construction of some of the artificial reefs that you will be observing. These reefs were originally created in 1989 in co-ordination with the University of Hawaii and to this day researchers from the university monitor these reefs as they conduct their own research. It is remarkable to think that the sand bottom that these reefs were placed upon years ago were virtually uninhabited by marine life and are now teeming with fish of all variety and species.…(more info) | Price Range: (From: $109.00 - To: $124.00) |

Submarines in Oahu - The submarine trips in Hawaii have proven to be among the most popular of all the activities we have. Although this is a favorite among children please just remember that they have to be at least 3 ft tall. Everyone has a window seat and it's truly exciting to descend to depths in excess of hundred feet. You'll be down for over 40 minutes and that's longer even than most divers would be able to stay at that depth. One thing to also remember is that the submarines are fully pressurized and have rushes of air-conditioned air pushing past you at all times so you'll be at the height of comfort.
