I really enjoyed my last Underwater Tour of Maui with Atlantis Submarines a couple of months ago. They make it fun and informative.

Take an once-in-a-lifetime undersea adventure in an Atlantis Submarine, the world’s first and most technologically advanced passenger submarine.  View Maui’s unique underwater paradise aboard a high-tech 48-passenger submarine, as featured in National Geographic television specials!
Take a Submarine ride out to see the Carthaginian in 125 Ft of water!

To enhance its sub tour experience and help improve the marine environment, Atlantis Submarines Maui embarked on creating an artificial reef in December 2005 by sinking the aged Carthaginian replica of a 19th century supply vessel, that had been sitting at Lahaina Harbor. You can still see the Carthaginian on older postcards of Lahaina Harbor.

The Maui Submarine tour starts with a quick and enjoyable rideon the Atlantis Submarine shuttle boat, out to where the Maui Submarine has it’s dive location.

Here is my Video of the Maui Submarine surfacing from it’s previous Dive. *Hence the reason I do not recommend the first dive of the morning, unless  it is your only option. You can hear everyone Oohing and Aweing in the background as the sub surfaces off Lahaina, Maui.

After you board, and as you sink beneath the surface, our guide (who is with us not only on the shuttle boat, he is also be the guide on the Submarine.) plays the music from Mission Impossible TV & Movie series….(37 seconds into the video)

The Maui Submarine ride is about 45 Minutes long.  With RT Shuttle service allow about 1.5 hours for the Tour. (2 hours with check in at Atlantis Shop at the Pioneer Inn; adjacent to the Lahaina Harbor and the Banyan Tree)
$109.00 Adults and $45.00 Children 3ft – age 12 years old.  Click here for Tickets and Reservations.
