The Whelan's

Down periscope!

I was organizing some of our vacation pictures and came accross a few that I wanted to share. This is Alex 120 feet below the surface of Waikiki beach in Hawaii. There were no lights turned on the submarine, the entire boat was lit up only from the sun shining on the crystal clear water. I took a picture of the depth meter that showed us submerged to 120 feet. At that point I was starting to get a little woozy, Elizabeth was fine but when I mentioned it to Alex he said he was not feeling all that wonderful either. We learned alot on this adventure, number one being that as you submerge the color spectrum changes. Your clothes change color, your skin and teeth, it's quite interesting. They had a chart that lets you know which colors disappear at what depth. Fun, different and educational. To board the submarine we had to take a 15 minutes boat ride out into the Pacific Ocean. My next post will show the 3 of us before we boarded. You were given booklets so that you could mark off the different types of sealife you saw in addition to the sunken boats and airplanes. I would highly recommend this adventure but I don't think I will do it again.
