FBI Director Took VIP Snorkel Tour at Pearl Harbor Memorial
A snorkeling excursion around the USS Arizona, a site of solemn remembrance, was coordinated by the military for FBI Director Kash Patel. This outing, described as a “VIP snorkel” and not disclosed by the FBI, occurred days after Patel’s official visit to Hawaii. While such dives are generally restricted due to the site’s designation as a military cemetery, a select few dignitaries have been permitted these excursions since at least the Obama administration. The Navy confirmed the outing, stating it was “not an anomaly” and participants were instructed not to touch the sunken vessel, though the initiation of the event remains unclear.
