Creator's Key Takeaways

This was just crazy. Submersible carried six passengers and a pilot.

I suggest you save up so you can do it.

Do find yourself time for the special operations boat.

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓Sign up right away for special operations boat excursions as they have limited space.
✓Save up for the submersible dive as it's expensive but worth it.
✓Make time for the special operations boat experience.

Claustrophobia on submersible — The submersible is not cramped and is comfortable for most people.
Physical demands of submersible — You need to be able to squat and stand back up, but it's not very challenging.

YouTube Video Description↓

I previously made a video about the wonderful Viking Octantis ship. https://youtu.be/3jYHMwJWBs8?si=Jqef5G8gAGKBIIHx This video focuses on what happens outside the ship itself - the excursions. They ranged from leisurely strolls to amazing submersible dives to a Lake Superior shipwreck. Watch and I'll show you why this type of cruise is one you should research!
