The entire experience was amazing. The crew was friendly, the scooters themselves were fun, and the divers that stayed next to each scooter did such a great job showing the sights and making it fun. Easily a highlight of our trip!

There were few fish. More than half of the scenery was empty. I felt seasick. Since they don't shine white light on the fish, it was almost a black-and-white world. It was a wedding, so despite having paid a lot of money, my mother whispered, "This is one of the three major disappointments in Hawaii."
魚が少ない。何も無い景色が半分以上。船酔い。魚に白色光を当てないので、ほぼ白黒の世界。結婚式だったので、折角高いお金を払ったのに、母親が「これはハワイ三大ガッカリの1つ」と呟いていました。

It was a nice outing. You can bring your own liquor. The crew was nice. They only offer beer and water, but I think wine would be a nice addition. It was good, especially for the price. Nothing exceptional though.

I participated in a three-generation family trip! My father had been hoping to see a submarine! I was so moved when I saw it emerge from the sea before diving!! However, once we dove, there were not many fish to see. I was expecting to see a variety of fish, but there was a lot of time spent just looking at the endless seabed, with only occasional fish…
3世代家族旅行で参加しました!
父が希望していた、潜水艦!潜る前に海から現れる姿を見て見たときは、感動しましたー!!
が、いざ潜ると、魚少ないのですね〜
もう少し色々な魚が見られるのかな?と期待していましたが、果てしなく続く海底を眺める時間も多く、たまに魚…という感じでした、汗

I tend to get motion sickness easily, so I took some anti-nausea medication beforehand. Even so, I felt quite nauseous while waiting. However, once I went underwater, the nausea disappeared, and it was fun to see the fish swimming around. It was a cloudy day, and I thought the water would be cold, but surprisingly it wasn't, and the sea was beautifully blue. While waiting, we were also allowed to feed the fish from the boat, which helped ease my nausea during that time. I was a bit worried because the instructions on how to operate the equipment and equalize my ears were given in English and gestures, but it turned out fine! I wish there was a place and time to change before heading back, even if just for 10 minutes.
乗り物酔いしやすいほうなので酔い止めも事前に飲んで参加。
それでも待機中にかなり酔いました。
しかし海に潜ると酔いもどこへやら、魚がわさわさ寄ってきて楽しかったです。
曇りの日で海中は寒いかと思いましたが、意外とそんなこともなく、海も青くてきれいでした。
待機中は船から餌やりもさせてもらえ、その間は酔いが楽でした。
機械の動かし方や耳抜きの仕方が英語&身振りだったので大丈夫か!?と不安になりましたが大丈夫でした笑。
帰る前に10分でいいので着替える場所と時間があるといいな~と思います。

The rain has stopped, but the wind was strong due to the clouds, and it was cold enough to make me feel like I was freezing. Some participants were wearing down jackets because of the cold. The waves were high from the wind, and the sea water was murky with low visibility. Also, tips are not included in the tour fee, so I intended to give a tip, but the pressure for tips was overwhelming and took away from the experience.

I made a reservation for the Premium Submarine, but later found out that I was put on a regular Atlantis tour with a lower rank. The staff didn't speak English, they were careless, and even when I complained, they didn't take it seriously. It was the worst experience. I will never go again. It's best to choose your tour company carefully.

Before entering the water, we gathered as a group of Japanese people to watch a video. Since it was just watching, I wondered if I could really do it, which made me quite anxious. I thought a Japanese guide would be on our boat, but instead, we were on a different boat with only local people, and since we couldn't communicate, it added to my unease.
I had assumed my face wouldn't get wet, so I wore makeup, but I ended up getting soaked while entering and exiting the water. We were divided into groups and it felt like a conveyor belt as we kept going into the sea. For those who are scared, being pushed underwater without any mental preparation can be frightening.
It was unfortunate that the weather was bad and cold. While other groups were doing their activities, we were told we could snorkel freely, but there was no one to follow us (there might have been someone, but we couldn't communicate!). There was one person snorkeling alone, but there were no staff watching over us. Given the high cost, it was disappointing to think that the snorkeling fee was included for just a 10-minute Sea Bob experience with no one to supervise.
However, the underwater scenery was beautiful!
入水前に日本人だけで集められビデオを観ます。観るだけなので、本当に出来るかな??と、なかなか不安を煽られます。
日本人ガイドさんも船に乗ってくれると思っていましたが、違う船に乗られ、現地の方だけしかおらず言葉も通じないので不安でした。
顔は濡れないと思っていたので化粧をしていったのですが出入りでがっつり濡れます。
グループ分けをされ流れ作業のように、どんどん海に入っていく形でした。心の準備をする前に海にもぐらされるので怖い人は怖いと思います。
あいにくの天気で寒かったのが残念です。
また他のグループが行なっている間、シュノーケルは自由にしていいとのことでしたが、誰もがフォローしてくれる人がおらず(いたのかもしれないけど言葉が通じない!)出来ませんでした。
1人シュノーケルをしてる人はいましたが、誰もスタッフで見ている人はいませんでした。
高い金額なだけに、10分のシーボブ体験のみに、誰もみてくれないシュノーケル代も込みかぁ…と残念です。
海の中は綺麗でした!

It was my first time on a submarine, and I had a great time. They had made arrangements to attract fish, so I was able to see a lot of them. Additionally, the divers who were there to observe the fish welcomed us with an aloha pose, which was very nice.
The guide provided commentary in Japanese while the boat was moving, but only offered an English guide inside the submarine. It seemed fun with jokes mixed in, so those who understand English might enjoy it even more. Unfortunately, since we don't understand English, we had to rely on headphones with a pre-recorded Japanese guide, but we still had a great time.
My husband was so captivated by the seabed that he didn't listen to the guide at all, but he still enjoyed it thoroughly. On the boat to the submarine, we were lucky enough to see a whale spouting, which was very satisfying. According to the local guide, there are times when you can also see sea turtles and dolphins.
There were emotions that couldn't be captured in photos, so I'm glad I participated.
はじめての潜水艦だったので、とても楽しかったです。
魚が集まるように工夫がされていて、沢山の魚を見る事ができました。また、魚を観察しに来ているダイバーも、アロハポーズでお迎えして下さり、とても良かったです。
ガイドは、船の移動中は、日本語でガイドをしていましたが、潜水艦の中では、英語ガイドのみでした。ジョーク交じりでたのしそうでしたので、英語がわかる方は、さらに楽しめそうです。
残念ながら、私達は英語がわからないため、ヘッドホンで、あらかじめ日本語で録音されているガイドでしたが、充分に楽しめました。
主人は、ガイドよりも海底に夢中で、全くガイドを聞いていませんでしたが、それでも充分楽しんでいました。
潜水艦までの船では、運良くクジラの潮吹きもみれて、大満足です。
現地のガイドによると、ウミガメや、イルカに会える時もあるそうです。
写真にはおさめられない感動がありましたので、参加して良かったと思います。

First, allow me to emphasize just how professional and engaged the divers, driver and the captain was on this experience. Seriously these guys were fantastic .. they were always attentive, showed understanding and you felt in very capable hands the whole time. This aspect was important to my wife as she had some very serious apprehensions about doing this ..but being a dutiful husband I badgered her until she agreed :-) .. took a few weeks.
The pre-trip meeting answered any questions we had and explained the workings of the submersible in terms of engaging the motor .. but nothing in regards to steering the vessel which i thought interesting.
We had a big group of approx 20 people so we just all fitted on the small boat. The seas were a little rough so a few people got a little woozy but nothing too bad.
My wife and I were one of the first to try out the scooters and the process to get in them was simple and effective .. no diving underwater to get in them .. this was a relief to my wife. We were in the water almost immediately and already could see fish in the distance. So we were very excited !
Here is where i was a little disappointed .. we had been trained to use foot pedals to engage the motor for the propellor but mine seemed to be a much older model and had the button on the steering column. No big deal i guess except i had an underwater camera with me and hence could not use it while the motor was engaged, which is approx 80% of the time. Consequently i was unable to take many photos .. disappointed.
I now understood why we were not taught the steering of the submersible ..you don't steer it ..there is a diver that holds onto 2 of the vessels the whole time and steers it. This was disappointing as i had no control on where to go.
In summary this was a FANTASTIC experience and again i want to emphasize how good the divers and crew were .. BUT it felt more like an amusement park ride than what the marketing suggests.
Thanks guys

I believe the place where I watched the Japanese video before getting on the boat was near Kakaako.
The reason I didn't give it 5 stars is that while they take photos for you, I thought it was a bit expensive, so I gave it 4 stars (I don't remember the price ^^;).
Since there is food for the fish on the scooter, they came swimming around a lot, which was really fun!! You can also eat plenty of snacks!
Unlike diving, even those who can't swim can easily participate. However, this means there are fewer activity elements. When I went diving at another place, they provided thorough instructions on equalizing, but here the video only said, "If your ears hurt, please equalize," so I felt that some people might struggle with that.
恐らく、ボートや乗る前の日本語ビデオを見た場所はカカアコ付近だったと思います。
最初に星5ではない理由ですが、写真を撮ってくれるのですが、高いなぁと思ったので星4つにしました(値段は覚えてないです^^;)。
スクーターにエサが付いているので、魚が凄い寄ってきて楽しかったです!!スナックもいっぱい食べれます!
ダイビングと違い、泳げない人でも簡単に乗ることが出来ます。その分、アクティビティ要素は少ないです。
ですが、他の場所でダイビングをした時は、耳抜きの説明を入念にされたましたが、こちらはビデオで「耳が痛ければ耳抜きをして下さい」程度の説明だけなので、出来ない人もいるんじゃないかな?と感じました。

It was a medium-sized boat, so we experienced a bit of swaying (maybe a little more than expected), but it was my first time experiencing this. Since there was a bait bag attached, I gradually released some, and tropical fish about 20 centimeters long quickly gathered around, which was adorable. We had plenty of time for diving, and the instructor, who also acted as the photographer, gestured underwater so we could understand well, making it enjoyable without any stress. My wife seemed to have a bit of difficulty with the oxygen tank, but there were no emergencies, and we were able to have fun. The only downside was that even though we had an early morning gathering, I ate a muffin and coffee, which made me feel sick due to the swaying. About half of the other ten people seemed to experience seasickness as well. I think taking motion sickness medication before leaving the hotel would be necessary.
中型ボートでしたので若干のうねり(少し大きいかな?)を受けましたが一番はじめに体験しました。えさ袋が付いていたので少しずつ出すと20センチ位の熱帯魚がどんどんよった来て可愛かったです。潜水している時間も十分あり、インストラクター兼カメラの方も水中で良く分かるように手招きしてくれてストレス無く楽しかったです。家内が酸素ボンベの酸素が合わなくて若干苦しかったようですが、緊急浮上などは無く楽しめました。唯一、朝早い集合なのにマフィンとコーヒーを食べていったので、うねりで全部リ○ースして苦しみました。他の10人ほどの半分は同じく船酔いしたようです。たぶんホテル出発前に酔い止めが必要だと思います。

The divers make sure each participant is safe, feels comfortable, and points out the aquatic life while also allowing independent discovery. While waiting your turn to scooter, we had a wonderful time snorkeling on our own. The waters are clear and beautiful and allow perfect visibility. For an extra fee you can get pictures and a video of your adventure. The diver captured some of my favorite vacation pictures!
