OAHU CERTIFIED SCUBA DIVING
For over 52 years, Aaron's team of PADI professionals has been taking certified scuba divers on the Hawaiian adventure of their lives. Oahu Certified Scuba Diving - wreck diving, reef diving, drift diving, night diving, abyss diving, wall diving! There is so much of Oahu to explore!
Start your day off right! This is the boat that Oahu certified divers are trying to get on! Our daily early morning boat charter is a more advanced trip for certified divers only.
We leave early, at 7:00AM, to ensure the best conditions possible. The dive sites include a deep site, about 60′-120′ depending on the dive site, followed by a shallower reef dive, about 30′-50′. Some call this tour our ‘Wreck and Reef Dive’ because typically the deep site is a wreck. But! Our dive sites are condition dependent. If the conditions are just right, the sea cave or sea wall are options. Another dive option is drift diving.
This charter is more suited to divers who have their Advanced Open Water certification or recent experience with deep dives over 100′.
MUST be at least 15 years old to participate in any dive 60′ or deeper.
Divers MUST be a PADI Advanced Open Water Diver (or equivalent from another agency) OR be a certified PADI Deep Diver (or equivalent from another agency) OR have previous deep diving experience to participate in any ‘deep’ dives.
Explore 2 shallow reefs off the coast of Oahu. Maunalua Bay boasts a variety of reef sites. Let’s discover what sea life lives among them. Depth of the sites is between 30′- 40′.
ALL divers welcome! Everyone is welcome on this charter – divers of all levels! We take first time divers (aka Discover Suba Divers), certified divers (of all levels) and students and split up into the groups based on experience. We recommend this charter for families or couples who have experienced divers AND inexperienced/no-experience so everyone can be on the same boat together.
MUST be able to swim.
MUST be at least 10 years old.
Night dives are for certified divers only. We usually offer a night dive EVERY Saturday night or upon request. Check for availability.
The dive sites typically include two shallow reef sites between 30′-50′. Divers will experience a reef during dusk as it is transitioning – diurnal critters go to rest and nocturnal species come out to play. During your surface interval, watch the sunset over Diamond Head. Jump back in for an entirely new diving experience! Be sure to take your time swimming along the reef and look in the nooks & crannies of the coral!
