Mauna Kea summit was cancelled, so we made new plans – a dinner cruise with Body Glove. Here are the photos!

This morning we went out on another cruise – this one a snorkeling, breakfast and lunch cruise. This was much more recommendable. Sailed out back to Kealakekua Bay, my third trip to the bay. But this time we parked at the Captain Cook monument and got out to do some snorkelling, which was excellent. I signed up for SNUBA. It was ok. Given a choice between that and the SCUBA, I’d take SCUBA anyday. But the SNUBA wasn’t bad. You are hooked up to a hose that leads up to the surface where your air tank is. I was a little uncertain of not being able to check my airtank (important). Also, because your hose only goes down 15 feet, you can’t look at things any deeper than that, and you certainly don’t have to worry about decompression. But as a tourist attraction, it was nice. 15 minute briefing of stuff I knew already from SCUBA and a half hour in the water for $70. Comparable to a single SCUBA dive, and I didn’t have to do any work at all. Put your mask and fins on, grab camera, get in water. Done. Got some fun photos I think, including a few where I swam underneath Miranda. 😀 Which is important to note – Miranda got in the water, with a mask and snorkel and swam around with me! 🙂 We saw a lot of really cool things, I can definitely recommend the snorkelling in this area, everything is 3-15 feet under you. Breakfast and lunch were pretty nice, although our burgers were a little on the crispy side. Now we’re sitting around and planning a drive up the mountain – clouds at 6-7 thousand feet mean at the Visitor Center at 9,000 we’ll be above them. :)…hopefully. There’s that Haleakala photo floating around Facebook that shows it could be otherwise… Later!
