Oahu Submarine Scooter Experience
Explore Oahu's seafloor on an underwater scooter
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 can explore the seabed in a way that is as simple as it is exciting. You'll start the activity by sailing a catamaran through Diamond Head Crater and, once at the dive site, you'll hop 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'll receive instructions before entering the water and you'll 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.
Explore 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 snorkelling, this excursion takes you 30 metres down, where you'll discover an underwater ecosystem teeming with life. Through the submarine's windows, you'll see 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 wrecks of sunken ships and planes, which have become artificial reefs that are now part of the seascape. A unique opportunity to experience a real underwater adventure without the need to get wet or have any previous experience.
It is an ideal activity for families, as children will enjoy the thrill of an "underwater expedition" and adults will marvel at the sights and curiosities of the ocean floor. In addition, the tour is flexible in terms of time and type of experience, with a choice of standard or premium options depending on availability.

How to book a submarine tour
It's really easy! I recommend that you 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 are travelling to Oahu in high season.
To book, just choose the date and number of travellers. You will need to pay at the time of booking to secure your place.
Is it worth taking a submarine tour on Oahu?
Absolutely. Unlike snorkelling tours where you dive to observe underwater life at the water's surface, by joining this Atlantis Oahu submarine tour you' ll dive to the depths of the ocean (30 metres no less!) to see all the wildlife that normally escapes our view.
You'll also see planes and sunken ships that are shrouded 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'll 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 - just as if you were one of them! I recommend you read the article Hawaii's marine life to find out more.
You'll also see some aeroplanes and sunken ships on which corals have grown, providing 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 make you comfortable during the tour and the windows are large so you can see everything without missing any details.
If you've never been on a submarine before, you may be a little wary of the claustrophobic feeling inside the ship, but you'll see that this is not the case. The company offering this activity has state-of-the-art Coast Guard-approved submarines that are air-conditioned for the safety and comfort of all passengers, so there's nothing to worry about!
