Hawaii – Day 8 [Snuba]

I have been running a few times out here, trying to keep what I have for the half marathon.  After last night I didn’t get my run in though.  Slept in till about 9:00, that is sleeping in for this vacation.  Seems like we’re all usually up by 8:00 wich is fine with me.  I would rather get up and do stuff then sleep my vacation away.
Actually Hawaii has been pretty active, it’s like a workout every day.  I love it.  I’ve managed to get a few runs in, and then you’ve got hiking and swimming all day.

We went to another famaous beach today, Captain Cook.  Well, I don’t think we were exactly there, but very close.  We brought the snuba out today.  This thing is pretty sweet, it allows 4 people to breath underwater through a tube attached to a motor that floats on top of the water.  You can get to about 30 feet deep.  I was surprised at how hard it was to stay underwater, I guess I have never really done something like this in salt water before.
It really is a different world underwater, all the fish and coral, there are so many bright colors, it truly is a sight to see.  I was beginning to think that we weren’t going to be able to take the snuba out because the water has been a bit rough so I was pretty pumped when we were able to get it out.
Some people took pics with underwater cameras, hopefully some of them turned out.

Time for bed, I have another early morning tomorrow.  Gonna try surfing.  Hang Loose….
