I participated in the dive on January 17th at 11 AM. Unlike the day before when I was informed that the tour was canceled, we were blessed with good weather. The female staff at the pier explained, "Many people get seasick before we reach the open sea due to the high waves, so we sell motion sickness medication on board." It was a bit late for that! I was well-prepared and ready to participate. As expected from a surfing mecca, the boat heading out to sea experienced quite a bit of rolling and pitching. Many people started to feel unwell quite quickly. After a little over 10 minutes, we arrived at the location for the submarine's ascent. We had to wait on the rocking boat for about 15 minutes before boarding after the 10 AM dive guests disembarked. I realized that it’s better to board as late as possible from the front entrance so you can also see what’s happening from the cockpit. I recommend choosing a dive with live Japanese narration. Although the visibility wasn’t perfect, I was satisfied that I could see the blue sea at a depth of 30 meters where light still reached. After disembarking, the female staff at the pier said, "It seems most of the guests got seasick, but you all are okay." The waves were higher than they appeared, and it seems that the afternoon dive was canceled.
Since seasickness can ruin the experience of a dive, please make sure to take proper precautions against it before participating.
1/17日11時ダイプに参加。催行中止となったと聞かされた前日とは違い、好天に恵まれる。桟橋の女性係員が「波が高いので沖合に出るまでに船酔いする人が多いから、酔い止め薬を船内でも売っています」と説明。いまさら遅い!よ。当方準備万端整えて参加しているもんと余裕。サーフィンのメッカだけあって沖合に向かう船はそれなりのローリングとピッチング。はやくも気分を悪くする人多数。10分少々でサプマリン号の浮上場所に到着。10時ダイブの客を降ろした後に乗り込む事になるので揺れる船上で待機すること15分ほど経過。乗り込んで分かったことだが、先頭側入口からなるべく遅く乗る方が操縦席からの様子も見れて良いと思う。また、日本語のナレーションを生で聞ける回のダイブを選択するのがお勧めです。鮮明とはいかないながらも、30メートルの深さでも光が届き、青い海を覗くことが出来たので満足。下船後、桟橋の女性係員「ほとんどのお客さんが酔ったらしいけど、あなたたち大丈夫」と声をかけてきた。見た目以上に波が高く、その日の午後のダイブは催行中止になったらしい。
船酔いではせっかくのダイブも楽しめないので、船酔い対策をしっかりとして参加してください。

There was hardly any rocking, and I didn't feel any seasickness, so I was able to enjoy myself. The food was great, with a whole lobster served, which made me very satisfied. If I had to say something, the photos taken were a bit expensive at $20... (This is the case at most main spots in Hawaii...)
ほとんどゆれることも無く、不安していた船酔いも全く無く、楽しむことができました。料理も、ロブスターが一匹まるまる出てきて、大満足。強いて言えば、いろいろと撮られた写真が20ドルと高い。。(ハワイの主なスポットではほとんどそうですが・・・。)

At the time of departure, I thought it would be canceled due to heavy rain, but the rain stopped during the hike, and we were able to go ahead with it. Because of the weather, we couldn't see the sunrise beautifully, but I thought the experience of climbing Diamond Head was valuable. We returned to the hotel before 8 AM, which was also a plus as it meant we didn't waste any time.
出発時は、大雨で中止かと思いましたが、登山中に雨はやみ、なんとか実施できました。日の出は、天気のせいもあり、綺麗にみることはできませんでしたが、ダイアモンドヘッドを登れる経験は貴重だと思いました。8時前にはホテルに戻ってきて、時間も無駄にならない点も良。

I participated in the morning tour. The live commentary is in Japanese, so I recommend it. They teach you about sea turtles and native Hawaiian fish, and talk about the relationship between the depth of the ocean and its color, making it both educational and enjoyable.
You travel by boat to the submarine boarding area. On days with higher waves, it can be quite bumpy, so it's best to take motion sickness medication in advance.
午前中のツアーに参加しました。午前中は日本語でのライブ解説なので、おすすめです。ウミガメやハワイ固有種の魚を教えてくれたり、海の深度と色の関係のお話などしてくれて、理科の勉強にもなり楽しいですよ。
潜水艦の乗り場までは、ボートで移動します。波が高めの日は、結構揺れますので、事前に酔い止めを飲んでおいた方がよいです。

I'm not very good at diving, and since I can't snorkel or dive, I chose to go on a submarine. We traveled along the seabed off the coast of Hawaii, where I could see fish and turtles up close, and in addition, we got to see planes and ships that sank during the war, which was a great experience. Also, since I don't often have the chance to ride a submarine, it was a wonderful experience. The moment the submarine emerged from the water was particularly impressive! I had a lot of fun!!
私はあまり水に潜るのが得意ではなく、シュノーケルやダイビングができないので、潜水艦を選択しました。
ハワイの近海の海底を進んでいくので、お魚や亀が間近で見れますし、加えて戦争で海に沈んだ飛行機や船も見ることができ、良い経験をさせていただきました。
また、あまり潜水艦に乗る機会がないので、良い経験になりました。特に、潜水艦が海中から現れるところは圧巻です!

I went to Northshore with the intention of relaxing and taking it easy. At the beach, I took off my shoes to feel the waves, observed a turtle basking in the sun just a meter away, leisurely walked along a simple path, and admired the mangoes abundantly growing in the gardens of ordinary homes...
Now, we had dinner at Sunset Beach. There was a shrimp farm at the northern end, and they prepared fresh shrimp from there in a picnic box for us. I was pleased to see that our guide was mindful of the timing to provide us with warm dishes.
I recommend this place for those who want to unwind.
Northshore は、ゆっくり・のんびりを目的にして行きました。浜では、裸足になって波を感じ、上陸して日向ぼっこ中の亀さんを1メートル先に観察し、何と言うこともない道をのんびり歩き、マンゴーが普通の家の庭にたわわに実っているのを眺め・・・
さて、Sunset Beach で夕食をしました。北端に海老の養殖場があって、そこからの新鮮な海老を調理してピクニック用ボックスにしてくれました。我々に暖かい料理を提供しようとガイドさんが時間配分に気を使っているのが嬉しかったです。
のんびりしたい人にお勧めです。

Just before boarding, the trip was canceled due to poor visibility in the water, which affected the next schedule, but I was able to board the next day. It was my first experience, so I was excited. The boat ride to the submarine, feeling the sea breeze, was enjoyable and refreshing. However, the underwater view was not as clear as I had expected. I had imagined a slightly clearer sea. Overall, I think it's an experience worth trying at least once.

The whole family took motion sickness medication, and off we went! As we anxiously peered into the sea from the slowly sinking submarine, small fish gradually appeared. Just when we were a bit worried that this was all we would see, a large creature swam by! It was a sea turtle! We couldn't take a photo in time, but we later saw three more sea turtles just floating there. We didn't see any sharks, but there were some!
I especially recommend this for elderly people who can't snorkel and for small children.

I participated in the 10 AM session on November 19. We departed from the meeting point on time and headed to the beach. From there, we boarded a boat and made our way to the submarine. The beauty of the blue sea viewed from the boat was so stunning that I couldn't help but exclaim, "Wow!" The moment the submarine surfaced with big bubbles was definitely worth seeing.
I chose a seat at the very back on the right side of the submarine. The explanations were in Japanese, but unfortunately, I couldn't hear the announcements from the lady speaking in front very well, possibly due to my position. However, the view of the seabed from the window was absolutely amazing, and I was deeply moved by the sight of fish and sea turtles swimming gracefully in the beautiful sea. It was also impressive to see the children sitting nearby getting so excited. I believe that no matter where you sit, you'll have an equally good view.
On the way back, we split into groups for those returning to the hotel and those wanting to go to Ala Moana Shopping Center, and they arranged cars for us. Additionally, for those going to Ala Moana, there was a very helpful service where a car would come every hour to take us back to Waikiki!
11月19日10時の回に参加しました。
時間通りに集合場所から出発し、ビーチへ。
そこから船に乗り、潜水艦へと向かいました。船上から見る海の青の美しさは思わず「きれ~」と声に出してしまう程です。ボコボコっと大きな泡が出てきて潜水艦が海上へ現われる瞬間は見る価値がありました。
潜水艦では私は右側一番後方の席に座ることに。
日本語の説明だったのですが、位置が悪かったのか前でお姉さんが話しているアナウンスがあまり聞こえなかったのが残念でした。
窓から見える海底の様子は本当に最高で、魚やウミガメが綺麗な海を気持ちよさそうに泳いでいる様子にとても感動して思わず窓にはりつきそうになりました。近くに座っていた子供さんが興奮しまくっていたのも印象的です。どこの場所に座っても平等にいい景色が見れると思います。
帰りは、ホテルに帰る人、アラモアナショッピングセンターに行きたい人と分かれて車を出してくださり、またアラモアナに行った人は1時間毎に迎えの車が来てワイキキまで送ってくれるというとってもありがたいサービスがありました!

This submarine dive was awesome. It goes down about 120 feet and makes its way through two shipwrecks, a plane crash, U of Hawaii's artificial coral project... Not to mention all the fish and wildlife you see. It was a once-in-a-lifetime experience! However, do pay attention to the languages set for the time you go. But if you happen to get on a Japanese tour, there are headphones with English.

The day before the wedding in Hawaii, I participated with my parents and my partner's parents, a total of six people, to foster friendship.
We really enjoyed the activity!! Especially the blue sea seen from the boat on the way to the submarine! It was beautiful!! (You should definitely go up to the deck!!) Once on the submarine, we saw many fish, turtles, and sharks, and there were thorough explanations in Japanese, which made my parents happy.
If you understand a little English, I highly recommend trying the English explanations as well. They provide clear and interesting information! (When wearing headphones, you might hear other guests suddenly burst into laughter during the English explanations, which makes you curious about what's going on, haha!)

I participated in a premium tour. This was my first time in Hawaii and my first activity, so I was a bit anxious about how the transportation would work, but I went to the pickup location. However, from the moment I got on the bus until I got off the return bus, there was a proper explanation (system) in place, which allowed me to participate with peace of mind.
Regarding the submarine, I felt there might be some variability depending on the direction you sit, but since it's a natural experience, I think that's unavoidable (actually, you can't choose as you are guided to one of the two entrances). Nonetheless, I was able to see many fish on the ocean floor that you normally wouldn't see, and I was impressed by the abundance and beauty of the fish.

I participated in the 9:00 tour on October 27! Since I was with my elderly parents this time and we couldn't dive, we decided to take a submarine to see the underwater world easily. The shuttle boat to the submarine was quite rocky, but when we went out on deck, the blue sea was beautiful! It was fun to see a pod of dolphins jumping alongside us (unfortunately, they didn't show up in the photos...). My mother, who is sensitive to motion, looked a bit unwell at first, but she felt better with the wind blowing on her, and she enjoyed watching the dolphins.
The view from the submarine had more sand than I expected, making it look murky. I heard there are no natural coral reefs, but there were planes and ships that have become homes for fish, and we could see fish, sea turtles, sharks, and even divers conducting research. The staff were friendly and accommodating, making for a pleasant experience. Inside the submarine, there was hardly any rocking, so my parents were fine. They enjoyed the deep blue world of the ocean.
