The History of Atlantis Dinner Cruises
In April of 2000, Atlantis Submarines Hawaii LLP,
dba Atlantis Adventures, acquired the
Navatek I SWATH tour boat and its operating permits
by purchasing the Pacific Marine subsidiary Hawaiian
Cruises, Ltd. Note that the 2000 purchase did NOT
include Pacific Marine's Maui-based Navatek II and Maui
Explorer ships. Atlantis purchased the Navatek I
in order to expand their daytime submarine tour business
to include a nighttime tour.
In 2000 Valerie King was vice President of marketing for
Atlantis Adventures but when Atlantis purchased Hawaiian
Cruises and the Navatek I, she was promoted to president of
Navatek I Cruises. Ms King had been working for Atlantis
Adventures since 1990.
When Valerie King left the company in the fall of 2001, Atlantis
Adventures vice president of business development
Terry O'Halloran became interim president of Navatek Cruises.
Mr. O'Halloran had been working for Atlantis Reef Divers
since 1990 and he transferred to Atlantis Submarines in 1993.
In early 2002 Paul Dyson was promoted to general manager of
Atlantis Cruises. He had been with Atlantis
since 1995, serving as their safety and training officer.
At the time he was also a lieutenant commander in the
United States Coast Guard Reserves, serving
as an engineer with CINCPAC at Camp Smith. He joined
the Coast Guard Reserves after serving 24 years
in the U.S. Coast Guard.
In the first quarter of 2002 Atlantis Adventures
changed the name of it's Navatek I dinner cruise
subsidiary from "Navatek Cruises" to "Atlantis Cruises".
