II. Beach & Pool Areas of Operation
We propose offering services to both the beach and family-pool guests. Services at these locations will assist with activity sales in addition to guest towel service distribution.
Example operations at Atlantis
Ideally, we propose a main watersports facility on the Baha Mar Beach or near the dock that will serve as the activities center for all operations. Rentals and activities will be managed via this center. Interior design will be professional and reflect the local atmosphere of the resort, beach and pool ambience, similar to below or as recommended by Baha Mar in keeping with the hotel’s theme.

We will offer a unique scuba experience to guests using surface supplied scuba or SNUBA. The program would include an orientation by a certified and insured SNUBA instructor. Once the orientation is complete, guests will be taken on a 30-minute underwater tour.
4. SeaTrek Helmet Walking Tours
Marketed as “Walking With Sharks at Atlantis” the SeaTrek helmet walk allows almost anyone to experience the underwater world, without even needing to know how to swim. The SeaTrek walk is currently offered in the main Mayan Temple Shark tank at Atlantis, and guests pay $110 per person for the 20-minute underwater walk. We would like to propose a similar underwater walk in one or more of the aquariums, pools or other water features planned for the water park area.
