I am so glad we did the underwater scooters. Staff was professional and knowledge and very patient with the visitors with a language barrier. Would definitely do this again.

This was one of my favorite activities on my vacation. The entire team was very nice and made sure we understood what we were doing and had a good time. I really enjoyed being able to be underwater to see the fish and sea turtles without having to learn to scuba dive or deal with snorkel gear below the surface of the water. The pictures and video from the activity were also very well done and a good price.

This was amazing just like your first zip line experience except with a whole different technology and this time underwater. The staff was awesome and welcoming. Pictures/video for souvenirs and the definite conversations back home were very well done and superbly arranged by the divers - Kudos on the shots!

水中スクーターは自分で操作するのかと思っていたらダイバーが左右上下をするので、ただアクセルを開けるだけだったのが少しがっかりでした
今回はハワイ島の噴煙で曇り空だったせいか肌寒かったので体験後は羽織るものが必要でした

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!

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。

雨は止みましたが、雲で風が強く、寒くて凍えそうでした。
寒くて一部参加者はダウンジャケットを着ていました。
風で波が高く、海の水は濁り、透明度はあまりありませんでした。
それとチップはツアー代金に含まれていないので渡すつもりでしたが、
チップの催促がすごくて興醒めしました。

Incredible, awesome, different and the crew are OUTSTANDING!
My 2nd time, and I brought along 23 people with me and again it was GREAT. All our first timers LOVED it. It was rough seas from a severe storm the two previous days, which affected seeing the crater on the sea floor, but lots of fish were out to play. Saw quite a few turtles too.
All my guests said it was TERRIFIC and they had a ball!!
The crew are always smiling, helpful and FUN!!!
Thanks again guys!!!

For someone that has never snorkeled or dove before, this was amazing and makes me want to get my diving certification! It was so easy, the crew was great and I just don't have enough words to describe how awesome it was. We saw squid, turtles and loads of colorful fish! I would do this over and over again!
Thanks Taylor for a great day and super photos and videos!

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!

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

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。

A Professional diver was assigned to each individual which was reassuring. A sea turtle was by us practically the whole time. Our diver caught an small octopus a let us touch it. The photos and video also was worth buying as many friends at work have enjoyed watching it and would like to try this someday!

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 boat crew and divers were friendly, patient, and knowledgeable. We definitely want to do again and bring our whole family. Experiencing close encounters with sea turtles, sea stars, and numerous species of fish was thrilling. The crew has 7 scuba scooters with a diver to assist each scooter. 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!

Great adventure underwater fun. Crew were friendly and efficient . Everything supplied and even if you are not a very competent swimmer you could easily manage this activity as a fully qualified diver is in the water to assist at all times.
Ideal alternative way to get under the water if you are incapable of scuba diving. Would definitely do it again The music on the boat was from the 70's and 80's which made the trip even more enjoyable as it was what I grew up listening too

子供の頃以来海に入っておらず結構ドキドキだったのですがすごーく楽しかったです。
最初に事務所でレクチャー受ける際、英語説明の後日本語でもしてくれましたが結構早口なので詳細分からないところもあり、私のような初心者にとってはビデオ説明もあったら尚よかったなぁ〜なんて思いました。(実際はスタッフがずっと帯同し、手取り足取りやってくれるのでなんとかなりますが)
私達のボートは6組15名程度、順次潜りペアの写真も撮ってくれます。日本人の方がほとんどだったので前に潜った人に要領を聞いたりしました。海中は綺麗で手元の餌に寄ってくるお魚さんがメチャメチャ可愛かったです!
髪が長い方、後ろで結ぶ際に高い位置で結ぶとその分ヘルメットの前の方に顔が来てしまうので(目の前の空間が少なく圧迫感!)首の位置で結んだ方がいいと思います。
沖に出て1時間ちょっとユラユラ揺られます。船酔いはお約束といった感じで、予め「吐く時は船の後ろで」などの説明もありました。海男の夫が言うには「最初にはしゃいだりドキドキしすぎる人が酔いやすい」ということなのでテンションも上げ過ぎない方がいいかもしれません。
最後は着替える所がないとのことでしたが、事務所に戻るとトイレ休憩な感じで20分程空白の時間があったので、どうしてもという方はトイレで急いで着替えたりできるかも。(トイレの数が少ないので推奨はしませんが^^;)。私達はパーカー羽織って自然乾燥しながら帰りました。
写真は動画とセット47ドルでした。その場で支払い(私の時はカード可)、メールアドレス書いて後でメールで受け取り。2週間以内にダウンロードして下さいという形でスムーズでした〜。

2月後半で曇りがち、波も強くて時期的にはあまり良い季節ではなかった
のかもしれませんが、時折太陽が顔を出すと海の色が鮮やかなブルーに変りました。
他の人が水中スクーターに乗ってる間も、船上では水面を泳ぐウミガメが横切り、船の近くで時折顔を出してはこちらを見ているのを何度も見ることが出来ました。
東京で鳩見かけるぐらいの遭遇率ではないかと思って見ていました。
また水中スクーターで潜ると、魚はたくさんいますし、海底をウミガメが数匹泳いでいました。
家族連れ、夫婦、カップル、女の子同士のグループみたいな人ばかなりの中、女性ばかりとの社員旅行で現地自由行動、これには男1人での参加だったですが、日系4世のスタッフの気さくなおじさんが時折話しかけてくれたお陰で浮いてる感が紛れました。
酔う人は注意が必要です。
船が走っている間は、波で大きく揺れてもあまり酔いません。
停まった船で待ってる間が酔います。
水中スクーターに乗ってる時も酔うかもしれません。
さらにスクーターは浅いところを潜っているうちは大丈夫ですが、
ほんの少しさらに深く潜っただけで水圧で耳に激痛がきます。
これがまた酔いの体調を悪くします。
私も表に出さないでいられる程度では軽く船酔いしていましたが、
リバースはここで言われる船尾に張り付いたり、何度も往復して完全に死んでる人達もいました。
全体の流れとして、本コース「ハワイ 水中スクーターBOB - シーボブで海底散歩&シュノーケルクルーズ」(値段安い方)と「水中スクーター&ハワイカイサンドバー 半日送迎付きツアー シュノーケリング&スタンドアップパドルボートも楽しめる!」(値段高い方)は、スクーターに乗る場所までと帰港は一緒になります。
値段高い方の参加者が先にスクーターを終え、高速ボートに乗り換えて別な場所にスタンドアップボードなどをしに行きます。
安い方の人はその間、順番にスクーターを終えていくのですが、その待ち時間が酔います。
さらに安い方の人が全員スクーターを終えても、高い値段の方の人が戻って来るまでそのまま待たされます。
船酔いした人には地獄の時間だったと思います。
値段高い方の人は最初に少し酔ってた風な人も、ケロッとして船に戻ってきました。
高速ボートや立ちボートで遊んでいる間に回復したんだと思います。
ですので、少しでも酔うかもしれない不安のある人は、サンドバーでの
スタンドアップボートなどがセットになった値段の高い方を選択した方が良いと思います。
午後から別なアクティビティがあったので、少しでも早く帰れる方をと安い方を選択したのですが、高速ボートから船に戻ってきた高い値段の方の人と一緒に帰港しますので最終的にかかる時間は同じです。
ウレタンの半袖スウェットスーツが借りられます。
着ないでもOKです。自前でもOKです。
2月の冬最終期ですが水が冷たく感じたのは入った瞬間だけです。
撮ってくれる写真や動画はバラだと写真20ドル、動画20ドル、
セットなら30ドルでした。
写真は自分を13枚と、別で撮ったであろうウミガメ写真2枚付けてくれていました。

As a qualified PADI, I found this activity to be a great alternative to full on scuba diving. With the submarine scooter you are able to sit back and enjoy the amazing underwater world.
The Bobs team were very organised and made the whole experience enjoyable and welcoming. I would highly recommend this to those afraid of discovery scuba diving. The team also take great pictures and videos for you.

海は大好きでダイビングやシュノーケリングは良くするのですが、
シーボブ体験は初めて。
ダイビングよりも気軽に、かつシュノーケリングでは見れない景色を楽しめました。
ダイブ中盤での魚の餌やり、
あんなに沢山の魚に囲まれたのは初めてです!笑(o^^o)♪♪
海ガメも間近で見れて、最高に充実した時間を過ごせました。
スタッフさん、ありがとうございます。
また必ず訪れますね♡

Originally I was very scared as I don't like to put my head under the water. I signed up just because my grown up daughter wanted to try that. I was a bit out of breath at the beginning as I dived in to the helmet, but soon as I calmed down, it was incredible. I was even able to touch the gorgeous big turtle. But I was able to have this great experience only thanks to my assigned diver, who directed me so well. So thank you ever so much xx

波が一番穏やかと聞いたので、朝一番のツアーに参加しました。全員で15名程で、一度に2~3名で海に潜ります。潜っている間はあまり感じませんが、待ち時間は船上のため酔います。(待ち時間が結構長いです。)朝食は取らずに参加されることをおすすめします。(酔い止めは飲んでおいた方が良いです。)数名の女性は船酔いのせいで、結局シーボブに乗られなかった方もいました。
また、スタッフの方が写真を撮ってくれます。写真のデータ代とチップの費用は参加費には含まれていないので、現金を持参される事をおすすめします。(チップは1人10~20ドルぐらいです)

Aloha,
Thank you for joining us on our Submarine Scooters. The scooters are not allowed to go up and down so we can protect the reef from people hitting it. We do have cloudy days but it was not from the smoke from the Big Island of Hawaii. I'm sorry, but we cannot control the weather. When you are in the water for a length of time, you lose your body heat. Then when you get out of the water, the wind makes you cold that is why we advise customers to bring a towel.
Mahalo and have a wonderful day,
Linda
