The MarineLab Undersea Park is home to Jules’ Undersea Lab and the MarineLab Environmental Education program, along with seahorses, grouper, many invertebrates, and even the occasional manatee: marine science experiences that are NOT your standard reef dive! 

Snorkel with a Marine Biologist 

Our marine biologist guide will be with you every fin stroke, every step, every peek under a piling to help you find and identify marine creatures!  From tiny seahorses to gentle giant manatees, our lagoon is host to a variety of sea creatures including many reef fish.   We can't guarantee WHICH ones you'll see, but we CAN guarantee you'll see something you've never seen before!

$53 plus tax per person

Jules’ Mini-Mission 

Our guide will lead you on an exploration of the Emerald Lagoon, including its marine artifacts, before bringing you into Jules’ Undersea Lab. After rinsing off, you’ll get the tour of the undersea habitat, including its history and current uses. This tour is an excellent way to fill in a blank spot in your dive vacation, or as an alternative to a blown-out reef dive.

$110 plus tax per person
