Hawaiian Holiday
ResortQuest Hawaii has added another gem to its collection of diverse hotels and condominium resorts with the addition of the newly-renovated ResortQuest Kauai Beach at Makaiwa, located on the eastern shore of Kauai.
This lush, 10.5-acre beachfront property – formerly the Kauai Coconut Beach Resort – sits near what was, in ancient times, a canoe launch site for long-distance journeys across the Pacific. Recently rejuvenated with a multi-million-dollar renovation, the 311-room hotel is steeped in culture and infuses this rich history into the guest experience.

 The Snuba Adventure
 
Enjoy the underwater world with your family!
Looking for a fun and unique family activity this summer? Snuba is a wonderful way for the whole family to enjoy the wonders of the underwater world. Snuba is a worldwide patented shallow water diving system that bridges the gap between snorkeling and scuba diving. Since its introduction in 1988, over 3.5 million people around the world have safely participated in a Snuba diving adventure. It was designed for those who enjoy snorkeling and would like to explore beneath the surface without the difficulties normally associated with scuba diving.
All Snuba tours are conducted by licensed Snuba Recreation Centers ("Sr.’s") which are trained, endorsed, and insured to offer a safe and very entertaining dive. As a participant, you are given a 15 minute pre-dive orientation to better understand what you will be experiencing, learn basic skills, techniques and instructions for the tour.
During a Snuba Adventure the Snuba Guide may feed schools of fish (species compatible and biodegradable food only), point out unique marine life and entertain you with his or her knowledge of the ocean. The total time underwater is approximately 30 minutes.
The Snuba system and training programs are designed to put you at ease. No prior diving experience is required. If you have basic swimming skills and the desire to explore at your own level of comfort, you are ready to go. The Snuba raft carries the weight of your air supply and is never more than 20 feet away in case you want to relax on the surface. The Snuba raft provides a convenient and comforting platform for participants to rest or take a break any time you desire.
Snuba is a unique and exciting vacation activity for the whole family. The minimum participant age is eight for the Snuba Adventure program. The Snuba Doo program is designed for children four through seven years of age. Snuba has locations across the globe in Hawaii, Mainland USA, South East Asia, the South Pacific, Red Sea/Middle East, Mexico and on Cruise Lines. For More Information visit:
