Embark on one-of-kind aquatic activity on Oahu with an underwater scooter ride in calm Maunalua Bay in Hawaii Kai. The scuba scooter will allow you to descend to a depth of 10 feet (3 meters) and view colorful fish, coral reefs and even Hawaiian green sea turtles that inhabit the island's waters while effortlessly riding on your very own self-propelled, eco-friendly electric underwater sea scooter. No experience or extensive training required, just hop on the dive scooter, stick your head in the bubble, and dart around the underwater environment! The crystal clear waters offer some of the best snorkeling in Oahu and great views of ocean's aquatic paradise!

How Does It Work?

The submersible eco-scooter is a unique and very exciting underwater motor scooter which works with the bell theory. Remember back in school when you would turn a glass upside down in a bucket of water and no water would enter the glass? It’s the same concept, as you descend a seal is formed and you are dry inside the bubble!

How deep do you go?

We keep our subs at 7-8 feet at all times. The sub unit is connected to a floating buoy with a line. Once we descend the sub, you will never go any deeper than the length of the line.

Do I need to know how to swim?

You do not need to know how to swim to participate in the Underwater Adventure. The crew are all certified Dive Masters and Dive Instructors: they will be with you throughout the tour. They will bring the sub to you at the back of the vessel and help you in and out of the unit.

Now Available! Paradise Sandbar Combo Packages - Upgrade your Experience!

The Paradise sandbar is private, protected sandbar in Maunalua Bay, very similar to the Kaneohe Bay sandbar but without the crowd.
