Underwater Exploration Observer-like Experience
I am going to Oahu in November and am looking for an underwater experience where I can be submerged and explore the ocean life while not getting my head too wet. I originally wanted to go snorkelling but I am not a very strong swimmer and I have horrible eye sight and cannot wear contacts. Through my research I came across Underwater Scooters where I would sit on this vehicle that has a water tight helmet. I have found two different businesses that provide this experience (BOB's Underwater Scooter Adventure, Island WaterSports Hawaii) but are not very responsive to my emails.
Has anyone used these two businesses before (BOB's Underwater Scooter Adventure, or Island WaterSports Hawaii)? Can anyone recommend an alternative activity or business that provides an underwater exploration experience where I can wear my glasses?

Never tried either of them, but yes SNUBA (fish bowl-like helmet on your head) is a thing now. You can literally just walk around on the ocean floor with it.
