You are super close to the fishes under the water and you can see a lot of variety of them and I even saw 4 turtles from a close distance.
The staff are very friendly and gives you good guidance on every step of the activity.
The only drawback is the time underwater was only 15 minutes and when you are which flew by very quickly.
Note: You don't need to know how to swim to do this activity.

I was thrilled to explore the mysterious underwater world with my son! I was also happy to see turtles swimming leisurely.
The boat heading to the submarine had to navigate some rough waves, and there were a few people who felt unwell. It was unfortunate to see someone unable to enjoy the submarine experience because they were bent over the whole time.
I recommend that anyone who is prone to motion sickness take some medication before participating.
神秘的な海底の世界に、息子と共に大興奮!のんびりと泳ぐカメも見ることが出来て嬉しかったです(^^)/
沖の潜水艦に向かう船がかなりの荒波を越えて進むので、気分が悪くなっている方がいました。(せっかくの潜水艦の中でもずっと突っ伏したままでお気の毒でした。。)
乗り物酔いの心配がある方は酔い止めを飲んでから参加されるのをおススメします。

I experienced this with my family of four. We dove to a depth of about 30 meters, and it felt like a different world down there. I was amazed at how the fish moved... The cruise to the submarine, which took about 10 minutes, was also pleasant. However, those who are prone to seasickness should be cautious. On the day we went, there were some waves, so our family took motion sickness medication in advance to prepare.
私は、家族4人で体験しました。水深30m程まで潜水しますが、そこはもう別世界。魚は、こんな動きをしていたのかと感心…潜水艦まで10分程のクルーズも気持ち良かったです。ただ、船酔いに弱い方は、要注意。当日私達家族は、少し波立っていたので事前に酔い止め飲んで準備しました。

We loved everything. I am the biggest water and animal lover. The submarine was a great experience for us. Even though the reefs are all gone and they had boats, plans, and different materials placed as artificial reefs it just shows you how important our reefs are for sea life. It is a great learning experience to see the difference. How life is under water now after the way man has destroyed it and the ones who care enough to try to recover a small percent of what it would be if it had been left alone before people destroyed an environment for there own selfish reasons. Before booking I did read reviews of others who experienced the submarine tour before I decided to reserve our tour. Even though a lot of people stated they expected more and only gave it 1 and 2 stars I still decided to take the tour. I read Atlantis used partial of the proceeds to rebuild the reefs. If more people got together and helped rebuild what we all have destroyed then maybe there will be more fish and more variety everytime we come back. People should respect the homes of others, where animals live, and give to it instead of always taking. It was a great experience, it taught us to respect the beautiful nature in our world, to help rebuild, and stop destroying before there is nothing left to experience.

It was my first time riding a submarine, and I had a lot of fun. The location was close to where I was staying, so I walked there. The staff were very kind to me, even though I arrived early and couldn't speak English. I'm grateful for that. It was probably just a coincidence, but when I participated, about 60% of the participants were Japanese. A person who could speak Japanese guided us, so I didn't need an audio guide in Japanese. I was able to see sea turtles, and it was a very enjoyable experience.

Was lots of fun - the divers/guides with us were great. Only negative was that it was a little choppy on the day and my husband ended up getting seasick while waiting for others to complete their turn. This though ended up a positive as it helped with bringing more fish closer to the boat! Next time we would be more prepared and take seasick tablets beforehand. Also I had tried scuba diving in the past and had problems "equalizing", thus could not move far from the diving platform. The underwater scooter experience has helped me overcome my previous fears of underwater adventures. An awesome time was had despite the seasickness.

It was written that snorkeling could be done during the waiting time, and although it was more expensive than other sites without snorkeling, I applied thinking I could snorkel as well. In reality, the explanation was insufficient, and the guide who could somewhat speak Japanese was unfriendly. There were no prior instructions for the underwater scooter, so I ended up not knowing when to snorkel. I would like a refund for the snorkeling fee.
待ち時間にシュノーケリングが出来ると書いてあり、他社サイトのシュノーケリング無しより高かったがシュノーケリングも出来ると思い、申し込みました。
実際は説明も不十分ですし、日本語がなんとなく話せるガイドは感じ悪く、水中スクーターの事前の順番の指示もない為、シュノーケリングをするタイミングがわからいまま、終了しました。

From the pier in front of the Hilton Hawaiian Village Hotel, you can take a boat to board a submarine that is anchored offshore, where you can observe the wreckage of ships and airplanes sunk off Waikiki, as well as the fish and turtles that inhabit them.
There are limited resorts that offer submarine activities, and getting a glimpse of the mysteries of the ocean floor is a rare experience.
Additionally, there is a Japanese audio guide available, so you can enjoy it even if you don't speak English.
Hilton Hawaiian Village Hotel前の桟橋から船で移動し、沖合に停泊している潜水艦に乗り込み、ワイキキ沖に沈む船や飛行機の残骸と、それらに住んでいる魚やカメを観察することができます。

You will wait for the shuttle bus at the Hyatt Regency, which will make about three stops along the way before arriving. The submarine does not have a restroom, but there is a restroom on the moving boat, so you can feel at ease. Under the sea, you will visit several points. The view differs depending on whether you are sitting on the left or right, but when there are sea turtles, they will rotate so that both seats can see them.

As the title suggests, the beauty of the scenery and the number of marine creatures visible greatly differ depending on where you sit. Inside the submarine, the seating is divided into the right and left rows, and this time, the left row was overwhelmingly better (we were in the right row). However, for us ordinary people who rarely have the chance to explore the ocean, it is undoubtedly a valuable experience. I believe this is one event you should definitely participate in when you come to Hawaii.
タイトルの通り、座る席で景色の美しさや見られる海洋生物の数が大きく異なる。潜水艦の中は右列と左列で分かれており、今回の潜水は圧倒的に左列が良かった(※自分達は右列でした)。ただし、なかなか海の中を冒険する機会がない我々一般人にとっては、貴重な体験となることは間違いない。
是非、ハワイに来た際は参加すべきイベントの1つだと思います。

I was truly impressed by the beautiful sea!! After getting off the scooter, I was able to snorkel, and for $30, you can download photos and videos. It gets very cold when you get back on the boat, so I recommend wearing a thick jacket, and also taking motion sickness medication.

I participated in an underwater scooter experience with two friends. The ride lasts about 20 minutes, which is plenty of time to enjoy it. I've swum a lot in Hawaii and abroad, but that day had the most beautiful sea. The guide mentioned that the water was clear and warm, making for great conditions. Although it felt a bit chilly due to the wind in November, the water was warm, and we enjoyed the summer sun close to noon. If there's wind, the boat can sway a little, so it might be a good idea to take motion sickness medication before participating. SUP at the sandbar is also fun. You can return to Waikiki by 1 PM, making it a great way to use your morning effectively. Additionally, they take photos underwater and send them via email for $45. The pictures of me playing with the fish and the underwater scooter became wonderful memories. By the way, it's $60 if you want a video included. The equipment is clean, and the staff is friendly, so I highly recommend this company!
友人と3人で水中スクーターをやってみたくて参加しました。
乗っている時間は20分ぐらいですが十分楽しめる時間です。
ハワイや海外でたくさん泳ぎましたが、この日が一番きれいな海でした。

11月という事で風が冷たく感じましたが水は暖かく、お昼近くには常夏の太陽も満喫しました。風があると船も少し揺れるので酔い止めを飲んで参加するといいかもしれないですね。
サンドバーでのSUPも楽しいですよ。
1時にはワイキキに戻れますし、午前中を有効に使うにはおすすめです。
あと、水中で写真を撮影してくれますが、45ドルで写真をメールで送ってくれます。

Thank you very much for participating in the tour. However, I sincerely apologize for not being able to provide you with satisfactory service.
I have confirmed the details with the local operating company. As mentioned in a separate email, the briefing on the day was conducted by a Japanese captain, who explained that during the briefing at the beginning of the tour, guests could freely enter the water and enjoy snorkeling during the time they were not on the scooter. Unfortunately, it seems that this explanation did not reach all guests that day, and I am truly sorry that you were unable to enjoy the snorkeling you were looking forward to. I also deeply apologize for any discomfort caused by the attitude of the instructor who spoke Japanese. Please understand that since many guests are enjoying snorkeling freely, the instructor may prioritize ensuring the safety of the guests.
We take your feedback seriously and, together with the operating company, will strive to improve our services in the future.
Thank you very much for your valuable feedback despite your busy schedule.
