Semi-Sub/Submarine Excursion in Aruba?

Hi, all.

Booked on the 9/24 Sun Princess, Seattle through the Canal to FLL.
Does anyone have any experience with the 'Seaworld Explorer Semi-Sub'
and/or the 'Atlantic Submarine Expedition' in Aruba? I'm a paraplegic,
but fairly agile, and I'll have an attendant (my dad) with me. Any
comments on one of these vs. the other? As far as that goes, do any of
you have any recommendations about 'do-not-miss' tours on Aruba? Some
of my relatives will be on the trip as well; none of our group are the
'scuba-diving' type. TIA, Arthur

The Atlantis submarine requires you to be able to walk down a flight
of stairs. Narrow stairs.

If you can't figure out how to unmunge my
address, email me and I'll explain it.

The first time we went on one of these in Hawaii we saw an elderly
frail woman coming back on the tender so we thought there must be some
type of elevator. As it turned out she was sitting next to my wife on
the plane the next day. There was no elevator and somehow she made it
up and down.
If he's agile and his father can help, perhaps the company could
advise him.
But it is narrow and steep.

It might be but that's up to him, his father and Atlantis. I found
them interesting. I'd imagine they have high operating and insurance
costs.
