Bobbing along

We woke up very early on Tuesday morning to do the one thing I'd been most excited about...SCUBA SCOOTERS :)

if you haven't heard of these before,  basically they are little underwater scooters which have a divers helmet on the front of them so your head doesn't get wet when you go in the water - ideal for those who are put off by the idea of scuba diving or just fancy a bit of fun. 

We got onto the boat and set out to a place sea turtles are normally spotted but the current was really strong.

Once we stopped,  they split us into groups of 4 so there was a diver to go down with each scooter and we didn't have long to wait before they sent us down.

It was an amazing experience.  They gave us bread so we could feed the fish (we have the bites to prove it), took loads of photos of us and just as we were coming back up i spotted a turtle swimming passed - bonus :)

Unfortunately I started feeling pretty sea sick as we waited on the other groups to have their turn but one of the divers was kind and kept giving me advice on what to do.

For an extra $30 you get to take home a disc of all your photos (they took at least 50 of us) and since that was the amount we saved by booking through hawaiidiscount.com we were more than happy to get them.

Can't wait to get home and see the photos but until then,  here's one I googled so you can see what I'm talking about

We were starving by the time we got back so we popped into an ihop and got the biggest breakfast going. I love American portions!!!
