Oahu Submarine Scooter Experience

Enjoy an original experience in the crystal clear waters of Maunalua: sail on a catamaran, dive with an underwater scooter and discover turtles and tropical fish underwater.
With this underwater scooter experience in Oahu you will be able to explore the seabed in a simple and exciting way. You will start the activity sailing by catamaran through the Diamond Head Crater and, once at the dive site, you will get on an electric underwater scooter that will allow you to dive effortlessly, surrounded by tropical fish and sea turtles.
No previous experience is necessary: you will receive instructions before entering the water and you will always be accompanied by a local guide. While other participants enjoy the scooter, you can snorkel, relax in the sun on the deck or have a snack, as the activity includes all equipment, snacks and drinks.
Recommended if... you want to discover the underwater world of Hawaii in an original and safe way, without the need to know how to dive.
Discover the depths of the island of Oahu in a submarine
Explore the depths of the ocean like never before with this experience aboard the Atlantis submarine in Oahu. While most people get to know Hawaii's seafloor by snorkeling, this excursion takes you 30 meters deep, where you'll discover an underwater ecosystem teeming with life. Through the windows of the submarine, you will observe coral reefs, sea turtles, tropical fish and manta rays, all while a guide reveals the secrets of this hidden world.
One of the most amazing moments of the tour is when the submarine passes by the remains of sunken ships and airplanes, converted into real artificial reefs that are now part of the seascape. A unique opportunity to live a real underwater adventure without the need to get wet or have previous experience.
It is an ideal activity for families, as children will enjoy the excitement of an "underwater expedition" and adults will marvel at the views and curiosities of the ocean floor. In addition, the tour is flexible in schedules and type of experience, being able to choose between standard or premium options according to availability.

How to book the submarine tour
It's very easy! I recommend you to book your submarine tour online and in advance of your travel date. This way you will have your spot secured before you leave for Hawaii. These are very popular activities that sell out quickly, especially if you travel to Oahu in high season.
To book just choose the date and the number of travelers. You will have to pay at the time of booking to secure your place.
Is it worth taking a submarine tour in Oahu?
Absolutely. Unlike the snorkeling tours where you dive to observe the underwater life at water level, joining this tour on the Atlantis Oahu submarine you will dive into the depths of the ocean (no less than 30 meters!) to contemplate in all its splendor all the fauna and flora that lives there and that normally escapes our sight.
You will also see airplanes and sunken ships that are wrapped in a ghostly halo of mystery.
What will I see on a submarine tour?
The clear waters of the island of Oahu are the perfect setting to enjoy a tour like this.
You will have the chance to ride a submarine (something that doesn't happen every day) and sail into the depths to see all kinds of tropical fish, green turtles, manta rays, eels, yellow tangs, sharks and beautiful coral reefs in their natural habitat, as if you were one of them! I recommend you to read the article Hawaii Marine Life to learn more.
You will also be able to observe some airplanes and sunken ships on which corals have grown, becoming a natural refuge for these creatures and contributing to the conservation of aquatic flora and fauna.
Is the interior of the submarine spacious?
Yes, inside the submarine there is enough personal space to be comfortable during the tour and the windows are large so you can see everything without losing detail.
If you have never ridden in a submarine before, you may be a bit apprehensive about the claustrophobic feeling inside the ship, but you will see that this is not the case. The company that offers this activity has the latest generation submarines approved by the Coast Guard and are air-conditioned for the safety and comfort of all passengers. You have nothing to worry about!
