Since opening in 1986, Atlantis has completed more than 50,000 dives with an audience in excess of 1 million passengers. Billed as the adventure of a lifetime, Atlantis has become a world leader in underwater marine expeditions. Their Submarine Expedition is one of the most popular attractions on the island and is often sold out. The educational 45-minute underwater journey allows patrons to view Barbados’ beautiful coral reef, and the abundance of marine life, including spectacular coral, sponge and colourful fish. It also descends to depths of 115 to 150 feet to view what has in the past been reserved for scuba divers only - a sunken shipwreck!
