5.00This was an incredible experience! If you’ve ever wanted to Scuba, but have never been able, or you do and want to share the underwater world with someone who doesn’t dive, this is the perfect adventure.
You really needs to try this. It is an unforgettable experience

5.00Beyond awesome. One of the best excursions I have had. The crew was extremely professional and pleasant. The crew member that answered questions was very knowledgeable. You didn’t realize you were deep underwater till you looked at the depth gauge. The sights had to be seen to be understood in their magnificence. We saw wrecks sharks and lots of fish from the safety of the submarine. They took us down to 105 feet. I cannot say too much about how great it was
A must do

5.00Magical! Well worth it. Loved seeing what lives below the sea! Great trip. Our tour was at half capacity and that made for an amazing experience.
Delightful and unique experience, even though pricey

5.00Very family friendly experience. Troy our guide gave us very informative insights throughout the ride and helped us identify the fish all around. Like scuba diving without getting wet! Our pilot ensured both port and starboard sides could see the shipwrecks and reef. We went 107 ft below! Safe on boarding and off boarding process. Time in the ocean was around 45mins which I felt was sufficient. Although I’d say this experience is a bit pricey, it was enjoyable and unique which made it worth it. Furthermore, they provide all day parking at the hotel for only $10 which was a life saver for us in the crazy busy Kona area where finding parking is almost impossible!
