ハワイ水中スクーター 泳げなくてもOK!シーボブで海底散歩&シュノーケリングクルーズ

海中散歩、最高~!!!

Reviewed by: たまちゃん, 2022/12/21

日本語話せるスタッフが2人もいて心強かったです。
思ったよりも沖へ出たので始めはビビッていましたが
そうですよね...海中に入って魚を見るのですから浅かったら
魚いませんもんね(笑)
私は全く泳げません。
水に顔をつけるのも嫌です。がそれだけは我慢して下さい。
海に入ってからシーボブを被ります。
そのあとは耳抜きをして下さい。それが出来ればこっちのもの!!!
始めは海面近くで慣らして問題なければもう少し潜って魚たちと御対面~。
泳げないのに海中にいる自分が不思議。もう少し違う種類の
魚が見られたらよかったのですが贅沢ですね...。あっという間に時間が
経ち、もう上に行くよって合図があり船に戻りました。船にあがって
からは風に吹かれて寒くなるので必ず上着を持って行って下さい!!!
他の人たちもいるので待っている間にスナックを食べたり水が飲めます。
動画撮影、写真撮影して下さるので最後に購入出来ます。
心配せずに楽しんじゃって下さいね。一生の思い出になりました。

BOB's Hawaii Underwater Scooter Adventure & Turtle Watching Tour

Pictures look great but reality not so good

Reviewed by: KGC1, 2022/09/16

The underwater scooter adventure seemed like a great idea, particularly for my wife, who doesn't like snorkeling because of having the breathing tube in her mouth. This diving-bell style system seemed like the perfect solution. It worked, but there were some major issues. Start with the boat, which is small and when moored to the dive area bobs like a cork in the ocean swells, creating motion issues. The scooter itself has air pumped in constantly, resulting in an ever-changing level of air pressure until the air is forced out. So, your ears are constantly clogging and unclogging like you are descending and ascending in a plane the whole time. You also have no control over where the scooter goes, since it is not really self-propelled. Each scooter is accompanied by a "dive master" who physically pushes you to where the master wants you to go, and who controls when you submerge and when you surface. The marine life is swell, with fish food provided to bring in the fish right up to your helmet. The helmet is also very noisy, with the compressed air machine running, making it unlike snorkeling, which is quiet and peaceful. Bobbing up and down in the current inside the diving bell also produces a lot of motion, so don't eat anything before taking the trip. The crew was nice, but did not provide much instruction about what would happen once under the bell. There are hand signals for the dive master, but you feel very much out of control during the dive. On balance, I would not do this again -- even if I had not gotten seasick.

  • They do bring in the fish

  • getting good pictures is their specialty

Unique adventure

Reviewed by: Terry, 2022/04/15

My wife and daughter enjoyed the experience. I did as well but swallowed too much salt water during open swim and got sick off the side of the boat. The crew was very professional in dealing with me. I did get to enjoy feeding the fish before my unfortunate sickness. I would definitely recommend this adventure. It is a very unique experience!

Awesome experience! The crew were all knowledgeable and helpful, and they made everything so seamless! We even saw sea turtles and were able to spend some extra time snorkeling around them! Only con is that the location may be hard to find. They're located at the very back of the parking lot, and check in is on the actual boat along the deck. Would 100% recommend!

ハワイ水中スクーター 泳げなくてもOK!シーボブで海底散歩&シュノーケリングクルーズ

ウミガメ3匹みれました

Reviewed by: yuko, 2020/03/06

このツアー最高でした。
友人と参加しました。水中スクーター初体験。
船から覗く海も砂が見えるくらい透明度があり
魚が泳いでるのも見えます。

海底散歩でスクーター操作はいまいちわからず
ハンドルを握る上からインストラクターさんが押してたので
手をヘルメットの中に入れていても大丈夫でした。

色とりどりの魚が泳いでるイメージでしたが、
同じ魚ばかり寄ってきたので、次回に期待です。

ヘルメットの中は温かく感じられ、海の中は寒かったです。
深いところに潜るよという合図で、耳がキーン!
ヘルメット越しに鼻をつかむ合図があります。
すぐに鼻をつまんで息を吐く様にする事をお勧めします。
あとから耳が痛くなったので、こまめにしておけば良かったな。

ウエットスーツは上半身だけ希望者は無料で借りれました。
生乾きだったので冷たかったです。

水中スクーター体験が終わると、自由時間。
シュノーケル&ゴーグル、フィンと救命胴着が
置いてあるので自由に装着し、自由に遊べます。

浅瀬で、シュノーケル体験すると思っていたので、
初シュノーケル&フィンで船から深い海に入るのは最初勇気が
いりましたが、救命胴着をきているので沈まないので、
思い切って海に入りました。

シュノーケル楽しい!
フィンもあるから移動も早く海底にいる
ウミガメ3匹発見。
船から外れるとジェスチャーで岸側の方向へ行ってと指示がありました。
水中カメラ持ってくればよかったな。ウミガメ撮影出来ず残念。

人数が多かったのでシュノーケル時間が長かったです。
海の中をただ浮いているのも楽しかったです。
船の上は、とにかく寒い。大きめのタオルや着るものがあるといい。
ポテチとお水は自由に食べて飲んでOKでした。

水中スクーターの写真と動画を撮影してくださり、
写真と動画は、船の中で撮影写真を見せてくれました。
友人とまとめてだったからなのか、
動画も買うとディスカウントしてくれました。

お金は、船でお支払いします。
降りるとき、チップボックスを持ったお兄さんがいました。

写真は、当日の17時以降からメール(リンク)に送られますが、
携帯からは一部の写真しか見れませんでした。
パソコンからでないと動画はみれません。
ダウンロード期限は2週間でした。

  • 真ん中の人は、左右のスクーターの連結持っていないと離れていきます

泳げない私でも楽しめました

Reviewed by: mimiko, 2020/03/06

泳げない私が海の中に入るなんてありえないと思っていましたが、
仲間と一緒に半強制的に参加しました。
ピックアップしてくれた方は、英語のみでしたが感じの良い方で
私たち以外にもピックアップして現地に着くと12人くらいがすでに
待っていました。日本語を話せる日系四世の方もいて安心でした。
朝の日陰のベンチは寒くて、薄着では寒かったです。
水中スクーターを乗せた船が先に出発、
そのあと参加者が別船に乗船し出発。
船の中で日本語で水中の中の動作等説明があり安心でした。
英語の説明もありますが全く分かりませんでした。
待っている間、お菓子は自由に食べていいのですが、
隣にあるパンは魚のえさですので食べてはいけません。
友達は知らずに食べてました。おいしかったとの事。。
いよいよ、順番がまわってきてラダーを降りていくも
怖くてなかなか海に入れず、チキン呼ばわりもされましたが
なんとか入ることができました。
水中バイクにまたがり、ハンドルはインストラクターが操作してくれました。
まき餌を振ると魚が寄ってきて楽しいです。
写真撮影をしてるときインストラクターが空気の輪っかを作って
楽しませてくれました。
船に上がるときは、海に潜るので怖かったですがインストラクターが
サポートしてくれ無事にあがることが出来ました。
一生に一度の思い出です。

  • 一番大きい船に乗船し出発

  • シーボム移動中

海の中を水中スクーターで移動しながらお魚沢山みれると思い
楽しみにしていました。
船からラダーを降りて海の中に入るのもドキドキで、
宇宙のヘルメットみたいなのに潜って入ります。
最初うまく入れなかったのですが、インストラクターが
サポートしてくれるので二回目はうまく入れました。
ヘルメットの中では呼吸も楽にでき手持ちの携帯カメラで動画も
とることができました。
周りを見渡すと、あれ、魚がいない。と残念な気持ちでしたが
しばらくハンドルを握りながらインストラクターと共に移動し
網金具に入ったものを振ってくださいとジェスチャーで指示が
あり、ふってるとお魚キター!
アジ?がたくさん周辺に来てくれました。みなれないお魚も
寄ってきて直接手で触れることもできました。
海は透明度があり、砂に足がつきそうでつかないです。
ウミガメ捜索も楽しかったです。

Hawaii Submarine Scooter Adventure with Turtle Encounter & Snorkel Cruise

I liked This Activity Better Than Anything Else I've Done

Reviewed by: Martin F, 2020/03/02

I've been on 3 trips in the last 2 months with activities scheduled everyday for jet skiing, snowmobiling, fishing, etc. and this was the most fun I have had doing any of them.

My wife is claustrophobic and just couldn't do it, so I took her turn and did it twice. There is a bag of fish food on the front of the scooter, and you squeeze it and wave it around and the fish go nuts literally right in front of you and eat from your hand. I saw 6 different species of colorful fish and a sea turtle so close I could have touched it.

They videotape you doing it and take photos, so you can show your friends who aren't going to understand unless they see it. When they do see it, they all want to do it too. Would definitely do this again.

Hawaii Submarine Scooter Adventure with Turtle Encounter & Snorkel Cruise

Mesmerizing

Reviewed by: Sherry, 2020/02/29

I took a deep breath, ducked under water and up into the globe of my personal submarine. There was a small chain link bag of fish food that I was instructed to shake, by hand motions, from the diver that stayed near and guided me around. The fish swarmed around me, bumping my fingers as they eagerly gobbled the food. It was surreal. The trip began with A few of us boarding a large motorized rubber raft that took us to a sandbar. The guide had a dog that was very enthusiastic. At one point it jumped into the water and swam behind the boat, which continued on leaving the dog way behind. At one point it was so far behind it was hard to see it. A real swimmer. We jumped into the water and were instructed how to use the Seabob. It pulled us around the water, which was too shallow to really get the feel of the machine. Low tide was not a good time to do this. It was an incredible experience. I highly recommend it.

BOB's Hawaii Underwater Scooter Adventure & Turtle Watching Tour

Different experience

Reviewed by: Andres, 2020/02/20

It´s quite a unique and different experience. I don´t know if all of these scooters are like this but mine didn´t move much. You could turn but not move forward so that was disappointing.

I saw mostly sardines, a couple of pretty fish and two small sea turtles at the bottom (but you had to be looking hard for them). The fun thing is that they have a food thing attached to each scooter so you squeeze it and the fish (mostly sardines) come right in front of your face.

The crew was really helpful and nice. They gave me some sea sickness oil but I think they should offer it to everyone since four of us threw up.

Overall it was an OK experience but I wouldn´t do it again like I´ve done snorkeling multiple times.
