Cons

  • 📍 The isolated setting means you’re there for the submarine experience, and little else.

  • 📵 Cellphone/internet use is of course impossible onboard a submarine - be prepared to be completely disconnected

  • 🚪 Slightly claustrophobic - the close quarters are part of the authentic submarine experience
