Oahu Calling - from under the sea

Waikiki seen from offshore

 A little underwater interlude: Bobbing around off of famous Waikiki beach waiting for a submarine.

Other tourist vessels go by.

Then - bubbling up from below comes one of the Atlantic submarines which are used to show tourists what lives below the surface.

Two tourist submarines operate off Waikiki. A catamaran takes tourist groups out to meet them and in a slick, carefully-timed operation, one appears from below the sea in a mass of bubbles; the tourists within are transferred to the catamaran and the next group let on. The other submarine then surfaces and the same thing occurs with this one. The submarines make a circuit below the waves, going down to as deep as 150 feet

Fish watching tourists

Inside the submarine: tourists watching fish (and corals and turtles)
