The Yellow Submarine isn't just a Beatles song. It is a real submarine at Mactan Island, Cebu. It is the Philippines' first tourist submarine. Diving to a depth of about 40 meters below the surface of the ocean, the Cebu Yellow Submarine tour is fast becoming a popular activity for tourists in Cebu.
The Cebu Yellow Submarine Experience

The Cebu Yellow Submarine dives to a maximum of 40-feet underwater for it's tour operations although it can actually dive up to 100 feet. The 40-feet limit is set by the maritime administration of the Philippines.

Divers' Show
The second half of the experience features divers showing off tricks to submarine passengers. At one point, a diver holds up a puffer fish near the submarine's windows to let passengers have a closer look and take pictures. I have doubts as to whether the blowfish or puffer fish is real especially with how the divers handled them.
Certificate and Photos
A photographer will take photos of you and/or your group before you enter the vessel. This photo will be used in the certificate that will be handed out to you upon completing the submarine tour experience.
