## Itinerary

1. **Meet at an area called Olowalu** (pass by, no stop) - Very easy to find. First we talk about the tour, and pass out gear. Next we sit on the beach and get a snorkel 101 tutorial. Then enter the water at a shallow sandy area where we can still stand, get comfortable with our gear, then it's off to the reef!! Experience green sea...
