Diamond Head snorkling

Chris, Adam, and Allison were great! Saw 5 turtles in the same spot and got to swim with a pod of dolphins. Highly recommend!

It's very convenient; the pier and check-in are right downstairs from the hotel. The submarine dive wasn't actually very deep, about 100 feet. The view of the fish on the left side that day wasn't as good as the right side, where someone reportedly saw a sea turtle.

The day we went skydiving was right after Hawaii's strongest typhoon had passed. Although it looked sunny from the ground, once we took off, we realized the clouds were too thick for a safe landing. Our first attempt to take off wasn't successful, but we tried again shortly after and finally managed to have the experience. You need to hire a photographer separately, which costs about the same as another skydive, plus tips for both the instructor and the photographer. It's something to consider if you want a keepsake.
