Today’s adventure plans left our morning free, so we slept late and enjoyed a leisurely breakfast, played with the house cat, Rambo, and then posed for some pictures in the picturesque front area of the Bayview Inn B&B. For the afternoon, we headed over to the Kona to take a submarine tour. At the Kailua pier, we found the Atlantis Adventure office, got our boarding passes and then Maria and I took a boat out to see a bit and then we transferred to the submarine. Down we went, to a depth of about 100 feet, and without the sunlight, everything becomes blue that deep. This was my first time ever being in a sub and it is really a neat experience. We saw two shipwrecks, the Predator and the Naked Lady; both of which are becoming reefs for the fish. We saw numerous big and small fish, a huge eel that poked out of a pipe at us and I saw the tail end of a shark as it hid under something. The guide was surprised that we saw a shark, but he confirmed it was one. Later, we headed over to the Royal Kona Resort for our luau and show. The resort is beautiful and the mai-tai’s were flowing, so that by sunset when they started the show, we were all feeling good. To start the feast, they unburied the whole pig that had been roasting underground. The hunky male dancers and beautiful female dancers entertained us all night with a variety of Hawaiian dance styles. The highlight of the evening was a spectacular fire dance and then the finale of having audience members dance on stage. A fun evening.
