Nautilus Semi-Sub Adventure

by bus, semi-submarine & on foot

Beneath the waters of the Cayman Islands lies the wrecks of almost 200 ships. Spanning the centuries, these wrecks have fascinated historians, divers and visitors alike. This experience provides you with the opportunity to view Grand Cayman’s underwater landscapes from the dry cabin of a Nautilus Semi-Submarine.

Your experience begins with a short transfer by bus to the semi-sub’s docking location. Here you will climb on board and descend the steps into the vessel’s hull and take your seat. The semi-submarine will then set sail for an approximately 30–40-minute journey as your captain navigates the vessel over shipwrecks and reefs just off the coast.

As you peer through the large windows, a narrator will provide commentary about the history of the sunken ships and of the marine life that live around Grand Cayman’s shores.

As the semi-sub reaches the reef, one of the crew members will take to the water and make their way around the vessel, feeding the fish to attract them closer to the windows.

On your return, the coaster-buses will be waiting to take you to the tender landing stage.
