You step off the quay as the Atlantic leans close, the harbor light sliding along the submarine's metal flank. Below, the sea darkens and then opens — a world of rock and reef where artificial structures invite fish to claim new territory. For roughly 40 minutes the air-conditioned cabin hums with low conversation and narrated points of interest in nine languages while portholes frame the ocean floor like moving photographs.
