Your meeting point for our Mini Submarine Cruise Excursion in Cozumel is just a short distance from the downtown pier and a short taxi ride from the other cruise piers. So your fun day is not far away!
The Mini Submarine Scooter Shore Excursion staff will be waiting to get you checked in and the adventure started. You will have a quick orientation and then into the water. Your highly trained, English speaking guides will be with you at all times during the excursion.
The Cozumel mini-submarines are easy to maneuver underwater. The machines are also known at BOB's (breathing observation bubbles or BOSS breathing observation submersible scooter), underwater mini-subs or sea scooters. They resemble a sort of bike that you sit down on, hold on to handlebars but have your head inside a bubble. Your head will stay dry under the bubble and you can wear your glasses if you want!
The mini subs work using the Bell Principle which is simple physics - like a glass turned upside down in a bucket of water, there is an air pocket in the top of the glass. The bubble portion is where your head will be and the air is pumped into it continuously. It is the air pressure that keeps the water out! To get in the bubble the guest takes a breath, ducks their head under the helmet with the assistance of the guide. The air pocket inside the helmet bubble also acts as a cork bobbing in the water - you will stay upright.
You can expect to see a variety of coral formations, colorful tropical fish and other interesting marine life in the super clear, warm Caribbean water. Get a unique underwater perspective like a profession SCUBA diver gets except you do not need any prior training, certification or long classroom dive studies to see it on the Cozumel Underwater Scooter Mini Submarines!!
Your time under will be about 30-35 minutes and when your "drive" is completed, you will return to the shore to the beach area where you started. You may stay as long as you wish at the resort's beach area and use the showers, restrooms, and beach lounge chairs. There is also a restaurant you may purchase food and drinks from.
Where we meet
Your meeting location is just a 2-6 minute taxi ride away from any of Cozumel's cruise piers. All necessary details will be printed on your Electronic Shore Excursion Ticket.
