On Tuesday morning we boarded the Atlantis Submarine for a diving adventure into the sea!\u00a0 Since I can’t swim and therefore snorkeling is out of the question for me, we sat in a climate controlled submarine and went to a depth of 150 feet!\u00a0<\/p>\n
This was a very cool experience. We were tendered out to the submarine and had to climb down the hatch from the top of the sub.\u00a0 Once inside the submarine has large porthole windows for viewing sea life.\u00a0 Just hovering at the surface we saw several types of fish.\u00a0 Then they closed up the hatch and down we went!\u00a0 We saw many types of fish, lots of coral, which looks completely boring in our pictures. But coral is very colorful if light could reach it.\u00a0<\/p>\n
There were two shipwrecks to cruise by, which are providing homes to many schools of fish and star fish.\u00a0 We even saw a sand shark sleeping by one of them!\u00a0 They are one of hte only types of sharks that have a bladder that allows htem to stay submerged. Other sharks must keep swimming (everyone sing along — just keep swimming, just keep swimming…).\u00a0 We saw Dory fish as well on our tour of the ocean.\u00a0 No dolphins or whales, but lots of fish, and it is the closest I can come to scuba diving or snorkeling so I loved it!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
