Oahu snorkling

Jeg hadde en flott tid som båtpassasjer! Kapteinen og assistenten hennes var imøtekommende mens vi alle ventet på de som var i buret. Jeg kommer tilbake neste gang med familie og venner og skal være i buret. hehe

Ble vist om bord i en liten båt (kunne vært større for å unngå så mye humping) og dro ut fra kysten. Jeg skulle ønske jeg ble tilbudt snorkelmaske med styrke (andre turselskaper tilbød dette). Haiene kom ganske nært på et tidspunkt, men det var kortvarig. Skulle gjerne sett flere haier, men det er ikke noe de kunne kontrollere.

The detailed explanation before the experience was very easy to understand. Having a Japanese guide also made me feel at ease participating! Everyone was friendly, and I had a fun experience. Although I'm not a strong swimmer, I was able to see many dolphins just by watching from the boat. In calmer waters, even those who aren't good at swimming could enter the water, use the slide, and touch coral that the guide retrieved. For lunch, we were served delicious sandwiches. You can also get photos taken by the guide in the ocean, though there is a fee! I'm looking forward to receiving them!

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.

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.
