Oahu Diving- Scuba Dives 2009

When scuba diving in Oahu, the choices are unlimited, from beach dives to Hawaii shipwrecks. Hawaii diving locations are endless. With 4 different and unique scuba diving points we can offer you the best possible scuba dive experience while vacationing on Oahu Island. Starting with the North shore of Oahu we sometimes brave the traffic of H-1 in the summer time (June-September) to do some great beach diving and not to mention boat dives as well. North shore is extremely seasonal so winter time is out of the question.

Diving in Honolulu

East facing shores are very good diving and most experts who scuba dive in Hawaii would agree this is the drift dive point of Oahu. With Portlock Walls, Spitting Caves, Sea Caves and the Corsair airplane wreck your Hawaiian scuba adventure will be complete. The Hawaiian monk seals are very common around the China Walls Oahu dive sites and divers sometimes actually get to mingle with these cool mammals. Spitting caves in that same area is also a frequented by monk seals.

South facing shores of Oahu are very good contrary to what you may think. Just outside of Honolulu the shipwreck scuba diving is unreal. With the yo-257 and Sea Tiger just minutes away from the boat harbor this seems to be a favorite part of Oahu for scuba divers. Swells are generally small throughout the year allowing pretty much 365 days of superb scuba diving. PADI dive certifications are primarily conducted in this area due to the weather and being so close to Waikiki. Kewalo Boat Basin is roughly 8 minutes to the west of Waikiki. Not bad huh ? So doing the yo-257 shipwreck and OR the Sea Tiger wreck dive in Hawaii would definitely make your Hawaiian vacation complete...WAIT. Not true. There is more !

The West Facing Shore are extremely nice, allowing us to scuba dive the famous lava tubes of Oahu. Departing out of Waianae Boat Harbor the commute is very short. These lava tubes formed thousands of years ago when Oahu was an active volcano. The "tubes" creative a unique reef system that is incredible to scuba dive at. Located in the pristine body of water called Yokohama Bay you will not be let down. Spinner dolphins are very common here, almost a 99% guarantee. ( O.k. 90% , I know I'll eat that one) The Mahi shipwreck, also located on the west side is a favorite among our guests. With eagle rays circling the shipwreck most of the time and tons of turtles this shipwreck is very cool. The Mahi was actually a 186 foot U.S. Navy vessel sunk in 1982 as an artificial reef in 90 feet. Also did you know the Mahi was voted by “Rodale’s Scuba Diving” as the fourth best wreck dive in the United States. With three decks ranging from 60 to 80 feet in depth you can be sure this will make your Hawaiian scuba dive vacation...NO WAIT. Did you know that calling us will make your Hawaiian vacation for diving complete ? Hint hint.
