Bob Meistrell's Submarine Dive
Today I was so lucky to be able to go and watch my Great Uncle, Bob Meistrell go on a practice dive in his submarine to get ready for his deep dive this Saturday. Uncle Bob owns the submarine with Kurt Siverts, son of Don Siverts. My grandfather Bill, Uncle Bob and Don have all been partners in this submarine for over 30 years. Don and Kurt are the designers and creators.
On the boat today we had Jack Laisure, who helped make the submarine and has worked with Kurt for the last 22 years. He made the port holes, hatch and ceiling system and handles communications and tracking while the submarine is underwater. Mike Brider grew up with Kurt and still works and dives with him. He was friends with my grandfather Bill Meistrell and thinks it is fabulous that everyone is still diving together. Larry Ott has been working with Kurt on the submarine for 6 years running the boat the "Mother Goose." He drives the boat and manages the underwater tracking, making sure to maintain signal with the submarine. The youngest crew member, Hanson, Kurt's son, has been working on the last few jobs. He looked like a natural out there. He has been down in the submarine to 111 feet. Jocko, Uncle Bob's Dive Safety Officer is always close by. Jocko said a submarine " is a safe way to explore the ocean floor. You don't get wet and you don't have to worry about Nitrogen. I think that for his age and how active he is that he is continuing to prove himself as a pioneer of the ocean."
The Submarine- it only fits two people laying down... tight quarters!!!

Wakesurfer James Harold goes on the Body Glove Snorkel Cruise
Pro wakesurf rider, James Harold spent time with his family enjoying Hawaii's Body Glove Snorkel Cruise. The Body Glove boat takes off from Kailua-Kona Harbor, and is a 4.5 hour long cruise. It is whale season in Hawaii and a few humpbacks swam by adding some more adventure to their trip.
James said, "Captain Sharky got right up next to them and they were so huge! One breached right in front of the boat!
According to James, Captian Sharky finds an appropriate calm cove for the snorkelers and water seekers to enter safely. They offer a snorkel class just before entering the water, for the very beginners (optional), but they also offer upgraded choices like power diving or "hookah." Or if a passenger would like they can upgrade to a scuba session. James's wife, Ashley chose scuba, and said, "I want to live down there on that reef.
A wave goodbye with the BG foam hand!
