Overview

Certified divers only. Ni’ihau is known for being the best scuba diving in the state of Hawai’i! The scuba diving sites have vertical walls with seemingly endless bottoms and crystal clear visibility. Large wildlife sitings are common and include sandbar sharks, Hawaiian monk seals (found no where else on earth), walls of butterfly fishes, and manta rays. We do two dives. Jessie will be your dive guide underwater to keep you safe and point out wildlife! In between dives we serve lunch and do a tour of Lehua Crater pointing out all our favorite seabirds and showing off the beautiful “Keyhole”. We usually look for dolphins and manta rays as we do a mini tour around the Lehua crater. The boat ride to Ni’ihau is around one hour. The ride home is anywhere from one hour to an hour and 45 minutes depending on weather. The commuting time to Ni’ihau and back is almost half the time compared to other shops! Book with us if you want experienced crew, small groups and a shorter, faster boat ride!

What To Expect

For certified scuba divers only. Dive crystal clear desolate waters with stunning topography and large marine life. Big sharks, monk seals, rays, and large predatory fish are common sightings out here! We recommend having 15 or more dives before joining for this one. Why dive Ni’ihau with us? Fastest crossing and closest harbor! With a 1 hour crossing you will literally cut your travel time in half. 6 customers max. Small groups while scuba diving is key to a truly enjoyable dive. Your crew will be Nick and Jessie. We are experienced captains and dive leaders. On this tour we meet at 6:30 am at Kikiaola small boat harbor. At the dock we will try on gear before we leave! The crossing to Ni'ihau generally takes 1 hour. At Ni'ihau we will dive 2 or 3 different dive sites based on dive site/ marine life requests and conditions! In between dives we will tour the beautiful Lehua crater while eating lunch. Lehua is an extinct volcano, now seabird sanctuary. The ride home takes anywhere from 60 minutes to 90 minutes depending on conditions. October-April this tour becomes harder to get to due to weather. If we cant make it to Ni'ihau we will dive off Kaua'i. A 45% refund will be applied

Frequently Asked Questions

(8)

Q: How soon can I fly in an airplane after Scuba diving?

A: Participants in the Private Niihau Scuba Charter with 2 or 3 Tank Dive Option cannot fly in an airplane within 24 hours of their dive. The main concern with scuba diving and flying is decompression sickness (DCS). Your body needs adequate time during an ascent to off-gas excess nitrogen, or you can form bubbles in your bloodstream, possibly leading to DCS. Read more Jun 2024
