Your submarine diving adventure begins on board the Ana, a ferry vessel that takes you on a 12-minute cruise along Cozumel’s west coast. Upon your arrival at the site, you will be transferred to the Atlantis submarine, where you will make an underwater trip to Chankanaab marine park, an environmentally protected natural area. As you cruise the ocean floor, you will view amazing formations, including 30-foot coral heads and a great variety of marine animals and tropical fish including parrotfish, grunts and groupers.
