1 We went on a submarine tour just off Waikiki with Kathy, Anneliese, mom and Pete. Here's the bigger boat we took out to board the submarine.
2 Riding out. I feel surprisingly good and stable on my feet.
3 Watching the sub pull up so we can board.

5 The hatch is open!
6 There's our little sub (there were two sizes - the bigger one for all the Japanese tourists and the smaller one for those of us needing English). I think this is about the same size as NR-1, Dave's old sub.

8 Sam went up and down that steep ladder really well.
9 Some artificial reefs.
10 Going deeper! I started to feel claustrophic at 3ft, and Kathy was nauseous from fumes on the transport boat. The two of us were quite a pair that morning. We decided we hike much easier than go on a touristy outing :) whew! we'll work on that, though :)
11 Sam was entranced the whole time - it was about 45 min submerged. Very cool to see all the fish, 4 turtles, and even a trumpet fish.

14 Can you make out the turtles on the old wing of this plane?
15 There they are again...
