A major wetsuit manufacturer can provide bridal gown and tuxedo wetsuits for the special occasion, and for family and friends that may not dive, the fully immersible Atlantis submarine can be included. Dive Oceans 13 can coordinate every detail. Location options include Cayman Brac,where 50 feet below the waves a fantasy version of the lost city of Atlantis can be found. Already in place on the bottom of the ocean is an 18 foot high pyramid and the Elders Way, which is a column lined Processional Avenue that leads to a giant sundial.Another ceremony option is beneath the Sea in Roatan, the Bay Islands. Here couples will have the opportunity to tie the knot among an assembly of dolphins in the second largest barrier reef.
