Lots of those on this tour were families with children. The operators were aware and they helped that audience feel included. We enjoyed ourselves very much.

Yesterday on Tuesday 13 September 2022 we arrived at Kona on the island of Hawaii on our 23 Night TransPacific Cruise aboard the Carnival Splendor from Seattle Washington State USA to Sydney Australia. In Kona we had elected to do the Submarine Adventure and it was worth every red cent. A trip of a Lifetime in a real Submarine that took us down to the coral reef and then down further still to over 100 feet below the surface. We passed many different species of reef fish and even sighted a small 4.5 foot white tipped reef shark along side of a sunken sailing yacht. We also cruised over a sunken landing craft like those used on D Day in World War 2 to deposit allied troops onto the beaches of France. The trip from jetty to submarine via the tender boat took less than 10 minutes and the loading from boat to submarine was done in a safe and sure manner. The tender boat remained out on station during our dive and unloading and return to jetty and shore were also painlessly done. I especially liked this trip because the reef here was very young and had very little man made damage to it. If you get the chance to come to Kona, definitely consider this activity as one of your prime bucket list moments. Thank you for your time. Stay Safe and Happy - Darryl Slattery Ingleburn Sydney Australia.
