Overview

Turtles! Turtles! Turtles!
We visit popular turtle-cleaning stations. What is a turtle-clean station? It says exactly what it says! Turtles visit these specific reefs to have smaller fish 'clean' their shells for them. It is almost like a turtle car wash! These turtle cleaning stations are a great spot to see a turtle while you scuba dive!

Your instructors will guide you along two lively Hawaiian shallow reefs. As you glide along, soaking in the clear blue waters, your instructor will point out sea creatures big and small, like monk seals, turtles, dolphins, fish, nudibranch, and much more, as you continue your scuba tour. Scuba divers will see amazing colorful reef fish (many of which are endemic to Hawaii, meaning they can only be found in Hawaiian waters) and lovely coral.

    What To Expect

    Discover Scuba Diving Experience

    The Discover Scuba Diving Experience is an unforgettable introduction to the underwater world. For many guests, this is their very first time breathing underwater and it often becomes a truly life changing experience.

    What to Expect

    You will begin by learning basic scuba safety guidelines and essential skills directly from a certified PADI Instructor. After a short boat ride, you will enter the water and practice these skills at the surface in a calm, supportive environment with one on one guidance from your instructor.

    Once everyone is comfortable and confident, it is time to go scuba diving. You will be guided by a PADI Instructor on two shallow dives through beautiful Hawaiian waters, exploring vibrant reef systems and marine life.

    Between dives, enjoy a relaxing break on the boat and take in the stunning views of Oahu’s coastline, including Diamond Head, Koko Head, and the ridgeline of Hanauma Bay.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    (9)

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

    A: Participants in the Discover Scuba Diving in Hawaii – Non certified divers! 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
