From the highest peak in Cebu, now we will go to the deepest ocean of Lapu – Lapu.
"CEBU YELLOW SUBMARINE" built in 1989 in Antwerp, Belgium, spans a length of 22.2 meters and weighs 99 tons. It can travel at a maximum speed of five knots and runs on an electro-hydraulic system battery that lasts up to 72 hours.
Another reason why people should choose Cebu, now known as Asia's All in One Destination! Underwater Tourism? Here we go!
Get ready to experience spectacular, breath-taking undersea views, a mixture of colorful species and well-crafted corals in the depths of Cebu, considered as one of the best islands in Asia! Definitely, It's More Fun in Cebu .
Upon reaching the reception area, check for your reservations and pay the cashier P1,200 for the ride. Currently they only accept cash payments. After the payment, you will be issued your tickets and you will then need to proceed to the introduction area near the beach.
The ride is very in demand since there are only several trips per day and the submarine can only accommodate a maximum of 48 people at a time so you better call to reserve and don’t ever come in late.
The tourist submarine brings guests to a depth of 35 meters and takes them on an underwater tour of Lapu-Lapu seas. Guests sit facing the portholes or glass windows that provide them a view of the different fish species and other underwater scenes.
On that day the current was so strong and the water was a bit hazy. But it was so amazing I saw a huge blue star fish, a school of fish, colorful and different sea creatures.
A nice bubble show when the submarine slowly ascends from the water. There will also be a couple of divers who will show the guests a puffer fish – which I am not a fan of because they literally push the fish against the window to show a “cute” or “funny” sea creature. Of course it was a treat for the kids but I felt bad for the fish.
Overall it was an awesome experience! An opportunity to ride a real submarine!! It’s so Cool!!
