We were kind of disappointed with the lack of clarity of the water and diversity. I must admit that we are very spoiled with our Bahama waters. The water was stirred up b/c of a freak storm, so maybe it would have been better another time. Staff was polite and knowledgeable.

Aloha Carol! Thank you so much for your review. We're glad to hear the staff was polite and knowledgeable. However, we're sorry it wasn't as exciting as you had hoped. Unfortunately, the ocean is often unpredictable — the clarity of the water and sightings of underwater life can vary from hour to hour. We hope to welcome you back aboard in the future for an even better experience! Mahalo!

This is a must-do in Hawaii. You get up close to the reef and to 2 shipwrecks. You'd only see this much if you went scuba diving, yet you can do it from the comfort of an air conditioned sub with no training. Great for people of all abilities and ages. One downside: the view is not as clear through the sub windows as it would be if you were snorkeling or diving.

It was a good experience, since we've never been to a submarine. I won't recommend this if you can scuba dive.Luckily we were only few families abroad so it was enough room and windows for all of us.
