Unique experience!

4.00Overall, this was a cool and unique experience in Oahu. The crew was friendly, helpful, and made everything feel easy and safe. I did expect to see more marine life than we saw, but we did get to see some sea turtles so would definitely recommend if you want to do something different while visiting Hawaii. We also went on a day when the weather was very windy so the ocean was choppy, be prepared for sea sickness.

5.00The water was kinda rough the day we went out and the girls were a little nervous on getting in, but once everyone was in the water and lowered down it was great. Very neat experience none of us will forget.
Highly recommend, especially for non-swimmers or not strong swimmers

5.00As an experienced snorkeler, I prefer regular snorkeling, as you have more control, but I would highly recommend this for non-swimmers. The submarine scooter goes anbout 10 ft down annd goes very slowly while tethered to the boat. Even for experienced snorkelers, you still get time to just snorkel. The crew were fantastic! There were lots of fish and several green sea turtles getting groomed by the fish. I had a great time!

5.00Me and my husband had such a great time, got to see lots of fish and a turtle. It was such a once in a life time experience. All of the guides were so friendly and helpful. I was a little nervous going into it but they were so patient and helped everyone feel comfortable. They provided snacks and water. And while we waited for out time to go into the scooters they provided snorkeling gear to kill the time! A great time overall.
Non-swimmers can enjoy too

5.00Soooo good! We enjoyed it a lot. The instructors were friendly and supportive—kudos to them! It was lovely to see the fishes. I’m a non-swimmer, and I still felt comfortable. Highly recommended!
Snuba - Do It!

5.00My husband and I had a fantastic time SNUBA diving. The best way I can describe it is that it’s like riding a motorcycle underwater with a large helmet that allows you to breathe and go deeper into the sea. It’s truly an experience you don’t want to miss. The crew was very friendly, helpful, and made everyone feel comfortable. There were a few people on our boat who were not strong swimmers, and the crew took extra care to make sure they felt safe and confident. After their SNUBA experience, they were already saying they wanted to do it again! My husband and I had a wonderful time and took some great pictures with our underwater camera. We also purchased the photo and video package, and we were very glad we did. This is a must-do experience — you won’t regret it!
Who thinks of this cool stuff?

5.00All the staff are extremely nice and reassuring. We had a great time and would recommend this to anyone and do this activity again! Save some money by booking bundles of activities through the Island WaterSports Hawaii Center, as these activities can get pricey. The boat ride and experience were about 2 hours long; the time flew by. There were a number of other groups on the boat as well, but not crowded at all. Snacks and drinks were provided, and the boat was clean and dry.
