15. Scuba and snorkeling is not permitted near Ford Island
Thu May 14, 2026, 05:29 PM

Except for the little, tiny clause in the instructions indicating the Superintendent of Pearl Harbor can issue a permit for specified beach/cove areas, gang ways or pier-side - but not around archaeological or shipwreck areas in the Harbor.

IDK how the Commandant of PACOM can say, "Oh, yeah, I got them a VIP permit to swim around the Arizona..."
It takes months for documentary film crews to get permits for any of the wrecks, not to mention the Arizona, and they have to submit all sorts of paperwork concerning safe driving procedures, the areas they would be filming in, how long they could film, and a whole list or rules on what they could film, what can't they film, and spaces they just aren't allowed to go.
The Navy is constantly monitoring the integrity of the wrecks; there are parts of the ship you can't even go near because the movement you make in the water can do significant structural damage.
And f*** Ka$h - is he the type to go rolling in the grass in a graveyard? Bragging rights for going snorkeling over a shipwreck where bodies are still interred? I hope someone wasn't permitted to be scattering a grandparent's ashes at the same time...

Maybe he and Kegsbreath should go check to make sure there's a body in the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier...
