Sub Sea Explorer is a semi-submersible catamaran. This means we have a lower deck located below the water line. Our guests have a unique view of the reef and will feel completely submersed within the marine environment. The 16 windows are located on the sides of the hull and allow passengers to look out at a 360 degrees. On a regular glass bottom boat, the windows are in the floor of the hull, and have a limited range of viewing compared with semi-submersible vessel.
