Yes, generally this is not an issue. Persons with claustrophobia, who have gone on the submarine, report being surprised that you tend to focus out through the viewport into the wide-open ocean space rather than inside the submarine of itself.
Unlike on an aircraft where the windows are high and you cannot see anything interesting outside for most of the trip, in the submarine, you sit facing the window and there are viewports all around and a large view port in front of the pilot that all can see out. Most of all you are not stuck in the submarine for the full tour if you really feel the need to disembark.
It is best to notify your co-Pilot of your condition and sit close to him or her. In the event that you are very uncomfortable, we will be able to quietly get the Pilot to surface as well as request for the return of the passenger vessel.

Cozumel, Mexico’s largest Caribbean Island, is located off the coast of the Yucatan peninsula on the eastern side of Mexico, 41 miles (71 km) south of Cancun. The island is 26 miles (41 km) long from north to south and 9 miles (14 km) wide. With a population a little over 90,000, Cozumel now welcomes almost 4 million visitors every year and is considered one of the most important tourist destinations in Mexico.

This reef line is located on the inside of the barrier reef off the North Sound and is 10 to 12 feet deep. She is known not so much for her reef structure as she is for her fish and invertebrate population. The coral itself is host to a multitude of small creatures clinging to her. Above the reef are masses of fish such as grunts, yellow tails and sergeant majors along with many other visitors. This site is further offshore and can only be explored by booking with one of the many boats who visit there. Watch for the semi-resident green-sea turtle, it often pays snorkelers a visit.
There is a maximum of only 2 people (whether child or adult) per raft so a family of 3 would be on 2 rafts.
Cozumel has a subtropical climate with an average temperature around 27°C - 80°F. Because Cozumel is surrounded by water the climate is always humid often around 90%, but there is often a breeze to cool things off. All year round there are sunny days and warm water. Rainfall is rare apart from during the rainy season (September- November) when showers can be frequent but not disruptive.
No, we do not provide car seats for children.
Life vests and snorkel gear (mask, snorkel, and fins) are provided. The life vests and the buoyancy of the salt water will help you to stay afloat. All you will need to do is kick your feet to propel yourself through the water. Your captain and guide will also be able to assist you. There are lots of people who snorkel for the first time in Grand Cayman who also cannot swim and lots of advice can be viewed on TripAdvisor and Cruise Critic forums. If the waters are calm and you feel comfortable in the water, it is definitely worth a try. However, you can really only decide this on the day of, with the advice of your boat captain and crew. The best advice we can give is to try out snorkeling in the shallow waters at Stingray City Sandbar. This way you can stand in the water and see how you feel with the mask and snorkel on. Place your face just below the surface of the water and practice breathing through your snorkel. If the weather is slightly windy on the day and you do not feel comfortable in the water, it is best to just stay on the boat. Safety is always the #1 priority.
Bengal River Falls are smaller, not overcrowded like Dunn's River but the same level of fun!

Crime is low in Cozumel due to it being an island community dependent on tourism. As with anywhere with large groups of tourists it is always wise to keep money and valuables safe from pickpockets and petty thieves, but violent crime is extremely rare. Some biting insects such as mosquitoes and sand fleas can be an annoyance. They can easily be avoided by using repellent and wearing long sleeves and pants at dawn and dusk and by using air conditioning, fans or insect nets to sleep.
