This was our first time in Hawaii, and as someone who can’t swim, I really wanted to fully experience the underwater world. The Submarine Scooter tour with Island Water Sports Hawaii made that possible!
You only need to hold your breath for a few seconds when going underwater and then slip into the helmet—inside, it’s completely dry with ample oxygen, allowing you to breathe freely underwater. The divers were incredibly kind and patient, helping me get into the helmet and guiding us throughout the entire experience.
Once submerged, we were surrounded by all kinds of fish swimming around us (and if you’re lucky, you might even spot a turtle—we were lucky enough to see one!). An unexpected bonus was spotting whales and dolphins while heading out to sea!
The underwater experience lasted about an hour, and a photographer was there the entire time, capturing many fun moments. The photos are available for purchase, and we got them—totally worth it! My friends were super impressed with how cool they looked.
This was hands down one of the best, most unforgettable, and most exciting activities I did in Hawaii! They also offer the Sea Bob experience, which is great for swimmers—my husband tried it and even had the incredible luck of encountering a turtle!
I highly recommend Island Water Sports Hawaii—every staff member was so patient and helpful. Thank you for giving a non-swimmer like me the chance to explore the underwater world!
