Neato~!
Reviewed by: Greatest Auntie ever~!, 2012/10/11I wanted to surprise my teenage nieces, so I decided to take them on those neat underwater scooters, and they had a blast. They are 15 years old and I thought they would be bored but they were not. They were so excited!!! The scooters were pretty easy to get used to, and my nieces had an easy time in the water.
They especially liked the idea that your hair doesn't get wet while in the bubble. We didn't see any big reef formations or turtles, but we did see a lot of small fish. I would recommend taking some motion sickness pills before boarding though, it did get a little rocky out there on the boat.
Staff was very friendly and attentive towards us, my nieces thought the crew were very good looking and wanted me to point this out. My nieces were hungry afterwards and this activity is in a very good location. A lot of places in walking distance to get some lunch since we all worked up an appetite. OH AND FREE PARKING if you opt to drive out instead of taking their transportatio

Amazing!!
Reviewed by: Hope C Caton, 2012/06/13The most unique and different type of experience I have ever encountered. So easy to participate, no special skills or training required made it really easy to enjoy oneself. Completely forgot that I wasn't breathing with an air tank...loved the huge views I had with the Bubble Head. Would definitely do this again!!!

BOB's Underwater Adventure
Reviewed by: Wanda and Keith, 2011/11/24This was our first experience with "BOB" and it was amazing! Especially for me as I'm a bit paranoid with being underwater and don't like water in my face and can't even handle snorkeling. I was afraid I wouldn't be able to handle it but after the initial nervousness of being submerged, I was able to see all the wonderful sites of colorful fish and sea turtles and my hair didn't even get wet!!! It was amazing!

Wonderful, but short, experience
Reviewed by: Lars D, 2011/09/26I'm not comfortable with normal scuba gear, so this was a good way to be able to get under the water and see the marine life off Hawaii.
The scooters were not fast, but that is due to safety.
Everyone gets a diver that looks after them and can go under with their partner/friend. I always felt I was in good hands.
The experience lasted 20 minutes, which is not much. But to allow several people to go down without using several days, one doesn't have a choice. One would always want more time with something that is enjoyable.
A bit pricey, but safety costs, and the value was everything considered, not bad.

July 14, 2011
Reviewed by: Steven Quade, 2011/07/16This was the most memorable moment for us. The chance to go underwater for people that can not swim was great. The water was so clear and the fish and turtles just swim up to you. They were so colorful. They were eating out of our hands. The crew was great and they took very good photos. I would love to do this one again. Thanks

Unique is the word
Reviewed by: Maj Juul, 2011/07/13A very unique way to experience the ocean and its inhabitants. My boyfriend doesn't know how to swim and was quiet scared. But the staff was very helpful and he overcame his fears. There was also time for snorkling, which was great. A definitely must do. Recommendable for everyone.

Adventure of a Lifetime
Reviewed by: Mr. Anonymous, 2010/07/29I attended with my two neices, who are very afraid of water. The BOB offered them the opportunity to experience the ocean and its inhabitants without knowing how to swim. They were truly overjoyed with their experience under water. We were all a bit concerned, at first, with the staff who didn't interact well with customers but once everyone experienced the BOB they began to interact more with customers.

Unique Experience
Reviewed by: Mr. Anonymous, 2010/07/10This was a unique experience and is a great way to get underwater if you are afraid to scuba dive or want to try something other than skorkel.
The only downside was the service was a bit below par compared with some of the other services we were getting. They were not rude, but definitely not that friendly. They acted like they didn't want to be there and seemed to rush everything. The exception is the young man, who appears to be Hawaiian. He took interest and appeared to enjoy his job.

Awesome
Reviewed by: Snickerpoodle, 2010/06/21You don't even get your hair wet, and fish swim right up to you and pick at the bread in your hand. You breathe normally. You can see them perfectly clearly and they come to you. This was really fun. Then you can snorkel around the boat while the other people take their turns, in couples, riding the little underwater scooters. Don't do this if you're prone to seasickness. But if you don't want the hassle of SCUBA, this is the best way to be underwater with the bright little fish.

Very unique
Reviewed by: Sunny, 2010/06/04For those who don't know scuba diving but yet wish to experience the life under the sea, need to do this. Very nice experience and enjoyed it. Try feeding the fish and you are surrounded by them ... various colors of fishes ... would recommend to those who wish to go underwater and don't know swimming like me. A bit discomfort to the ears at the beginning but gets fine soon. Good Instructors and the divers shall be with you throughout your stay in the water. Go for it!!

BOB was fun
Reviewed by: BigWillie, 2009/12/23Overall my sister and I had a good time.
I was very disappointed with the cost of the photos. Even when the instructor tried to barter with me and cut the cost in half, it was still an outrageous price for a Cd that cost pennies to produce. If they were actual photos the price is still rediculous.

TRULY AMAZING!!!
Reviewed by: Mr. Waters, 2009/12/04Experience was TRULY AMAZING. I can't swim and have a phobia of being underwater in general but the BOB gave me the opportunity to sit on a scooter and enjoy the wonderful creation that exist under the Pacific Ocean. Price was very reasonable and the instructors were awesome!

Don't Miss this Adventure
Reviewed by: First Visit to Hawaii, 2008/11/15Could not have been happier with the experience. Incredible scuba like experience - even for the non-swimmers. This is a definate must do when you are in Honolulu area.
Wonderful guides manuevered us around, gave us fish food and then dozen of incredible fish ate right out of our hand - it was great.
Their shuttle picked us up at the Waikiki Sheraton, We watched a quick video, they explained what was going to happen and we all board a boat that took us out into a calm harbor. BOB is a Scooter with a bubble attached and was very very easy to get used to.
