We are going sightseeing on a submarine.

The Yellow Submarine Tours has started a wide-ranging submarine tours campaign.

They are offering 2 and 3 hour tours, each descending down to 200 feet or so, to see the corals, shipwrecks and undersea scape south of Kakwoki.

According to the brochure we got upon the purchase of the trip:

Each sub has window seats for every one of its 50 plus passengers, who can view ocean through a large round window, or a huge front-facing wraparound glass. There will be a 15 minute safety lecture about the use of different emergency breathing and escape devices, the evacuation procedure and the use of the safety belt with the seat floating cushion.

Each sub has special drinks and chewing gum in case the ears need to be popped when switching between surface diesel to all-electric power once submerged. The standard crew is about seven: the captain, the co-pilot navigator, systems engineer, propulsion engineer, two attendants and a tour guide.

The price for a 2 hour tour is 2/3 of a gold crown ounce (which today means $824.04) for Captain Nemo (one of ten of the seats at the wraparound glass), and 1/2 of a gold crown, $618 today, for any other seat.
