Denn das U-Boot, ausgerichtet für two personsslowly sinks into the depths. While you stay nice and dry inside, you can admire the underwater world from a completely new perspective. Outside, the fish pass by peacefully, then again a ray comes around the corner - or even a curious sea turtle. The impressions that passengers can gather in this way are, without exaggeration, unforgettable.
