This is Atlantis: the submarine is now called the Mexican Titan and for $115 you can get to know the marine fauna and see a sunken ship in Cozumel on a 2-hour tour

“I loved seeing the sea from a different perspective. It makes you lose your fear and you want to know what else is out there. This was the view of a tourist, Fernando, as he left his ride in the submarine Atlantis in Mexico.

The submarine is already being referred to as the Mexican Titan, Univisión News indicates in a report published this week on its social networks.

Paradoxically, the tragic end of the submarine Titan last June turned this tour (or sub-tour) at Atlantis into “an attraction in southeastern Mexico.”

The information chain points out that this is “the only submarine in Mexico that allows you to enjoy the marine fauna on the island of Cozumel, Quintana Roo, where there are large coral reefs.”

This is the Deepsea Challenger, the submarine with which James Cameron continuously dived in the deep sea

Travel fearlessly in Atlantis

Passengers board the submarine ‘without fear’. The reason? It only goes down about 100 or 100 feet (30 or 33 meters).

An interviewed citizen replied to Univisión about this: “Because it is shallow, there is no reason to be afraid, on the contrary, it is to enjoy it. Nor should we think that something similar could happen, like those who went to see the Titanic ”.

As for security, it was reported that they have the approval of an international company. “They certify us every year,” said the Atlantis pilot, Víctor Herrera.

If we don’t have the certification, we can’t work

The newspaper El Sol de México indicated that this company is the US Bureau of Shipping Standards.

Herrera explained for the report that this submarine “is designed with a support team, apart from the team we usually work with, we have double security.”

For the same theme applies: “participants must be able to go down and up 12 steps independently to gain access to the submarine; In the case of children, the minimum height is 90 cm and 4 years old.

what tourists see

The journalist Sandra Argüelles described that “passengers can see a small ship – the Felipe Xicoténcatl – sunk in 2000 to create an artificial reef.”

They also see more marine life, sharks, turtles, manta rays and, nature permitting, dolphins.

In the aforementioned Mexican medium, they added that by meeting the marine fauna south of Cancun, “you can explore the neighborhood of the Cozumel Reef and pass by “La Pared,” a vertical drop that goes to more than 600 meters deep, on the edge of the island

With more than 26 skylights and a large front window in the bow of the submarine, all tourists can enjoy the impressive view of the Chankanaab Reef, the second largest in the world.

The tour lasts two hours and, according to Univisión, “40 minutes are underwater.”

The price of the tour for mid-July was set at $115… say what, dare you?
