Seaworld Explorer
is a state-of-the-art semi-submarine developed in Australia for use on the Great
Barrier Reef. The vessel does not submerge; you descend into the hull of this
cruising underwater observatory and sit in air-conditioned comfort five feet
below the surface of the water, exploring sea life through large, clear glass
windows. Your tour begins at the dock in Willemstad from where you are driven
three miles by coach to the Dive Site to board the Seaworld Explorer. From there
you embark on a narrated tour of the coral reefs along the south side of the
island. Just offshore, from your underwater viewpoint, you can clearly observe a
wall dropping sharply to depths of several hundred feet. You will see dozens of
tropical fish such as yellowtail snapper, sergeant majors, parrotfish, and queen
angelfish, as well as delicate colonies of coral that were thousands of years in
the making. Then watch in awe as a diver is surrounded by hungry fish hand-fed
right in front of your window. A knowledgeable marine expert will provide you
with information on the amazing underwater world around and will be happy to
answer questions.
