Underwater Real Estate

Feeling landlocked? Try taking a dive and exploring Hawaii's world under the sea.

I'm relatively new to Scuba Diving. Drew Wheeler, who has been gracious enough to include me in his diving expeditions, is an accomplished underwater videographer, conservationist, and scuba dive instructor. He certified me, and has opened my eyes to the wonderful world under Hawaii's blue.

Recently I went diving at Shark's Cove with Drew before preparing for my Sunday Open House. The Cove always proves itself to be a worthy dive spot: we saw a sea turtle and a huge Moray eel (this thing had to be 4 feet long), among other creatures.

It was a bit of a squeeze to get to my Sunday Open House at Cathedral Point-Melemanu on time, but I managed it! The time crunch was well worth the excursion to Hawaii's deep.

I love the magic of diving it make us see and think in 3 D the shift in body position make a bigger shift in the mind and how we see the world .

Thanks for your quick response, Eric! Yes, I love it too. Not just the surreal feeling of being weightless underwater, but the awesome impact that the underwater world has on my view of the universe. I was raised in a Catholic home, and while I'm still Catholic at heart, I often tell people "I'm spending my sunday morning in God's underwater cathedral!"

Monk Seals are beautiful, and they are also one of Hawaii's most endangered creatures. Please put a good thought out into the sky for these guys. They deserve a chance to come back from near-extinction.

I never did scuba, but did a lot of skin diving when I was younger. I went out for the first time in years and had a sea turtle swimming with me. I got the bug again.

Can you even get to Hawaii anymore? The airlines are all going out of business.

Not Hawaiian! HI air is going such a great job of covering flights for ATA and Aloha. I fly interisland almost weekly and I have had good experiences the whole way through!

Donna, I have never scuba dived or done anything like that. I guess I am missing out on a lot!

When it rains real hard around here on some of the streets we have to do with to get around.

I'm just feeling terrible for you when you go diving before an open house... Here, the pollen is almost deep enough to dive in.
