Small Group Shallow Reef Dive in Oahu
Overview
Hawaii does not have “dive sites” as you find elsewhere. We have amazing, beautiful, and huge reef systems that surround the islands. Here on Oahu, we have several unique reef systems where we regularly dive. These systems are so diverse that we are able to do different dives in the same area. No two dives are ever the same, and our guides deliver a unique experience every time.

What To Expect
Our daily reef diving starts in the late morning 11:00 am and is great for newer divers, or for divers wanting a more casual experience on our shallow reefs. The coral gardens are a quick 10-15 minute boat ride from our harbor. By the time you put on your wetsuit, we are ready to get in the water. We usually see at least one sea turtle on the way out of the harbor!
This trip is for certified divers. We often have groups of all levels on the reef dives, so it is a great way to meet other divers from around the world. Our groups are always small and organized according to experience level. We do not mix certified divers with basic divers unless they are part of the same group and want to dive together.

Participants in the Small Group Shallow Reef Dive in Oahu cannot fly in an airplane within 24 hours of their dive.

Jun 2024If you have any doubts about becoming seasick on the water, we recommend taking a Dramamine® Motion Sickness Relief tablet the night before your trip. Some people recommend taking it the night before your cruise and then again that morning so you will not feel so drowsy.
