The Schedule

Morning Dives are 2 tank, deep site and a shallow reef or drift, with Waikiki pickup at 7am. You will return from your dives plus or minus an hour based on the drive time to the harbor of departure. Typical drop off times are 11am for town side dives, 12:30pm for East side dives, and 2pm for West Side dives.

Afternoon dives are usually two 30-40ft dives. These dives are good for people who are getting back into diving after a break, trying diving for the first time, or doing open water referral dives. Pickup time is usually 10:30 with a 5pm drop off.

The Dives

Dive Sites are usually determined by the first person to book a charter for that day, a good reason to book early! We always try for the planned site first, but we make the final decision on where to dive based on conditions. We do not have a set schedule and like to change up the dive sites often. We love this job!

The Service

After being picked up (or upon meeting at the boat) you'll be asked to sign the ever present liability release and present your diving card. Drinks and light snacks will be present on the boat and in the van, especially water. Disposable/Reusable flash underwater cameras will be available upon request. We suggest you wear sunscreen if you are light skinned; you may want a towel. If you chill easily a windbreaker or extra shirt between dives might be appropriate.

Of course, the divemaster will give a thorough dive site and safety briefing. He or she will also be on hand underwater to point out interesting dive site features and as an extra safety precaution. Certified divers however, are ultimately responsible for their own safety (additional training available). After the dives the divemaster will help fill out and stamp logbooks.

Your Dive Report will be available to you here on this website. We will send you a direct link to the report via email shortly after your dive. All of the pictures that your divemaster took during the day will be viewable on the ride home by laptop. Those high resolution images plus some of our best stock photography and videos can be burned to CD on the spot by request.

The Boats

We use what we believe are the best dive boats on Oahu. Below are some information about them.

South Side: Kahala Kai

The south side boast some of the best wrecks in Hawaii and we get to them comfortably with Kahala Kai. This large catamaran has a patented dolphin spotting instrument - Simba the Dog. When he barks you can be pretty sure dolphins are around. Popular dive sites include the Sea Tiger and YO-257 wrecks, which are not only great wrecks in them selves but also magnets for all kinds of marine life.

West Side: The Beach

The atmosphere aboard The Beach is very relaxed, and the surface interval is often spent whale watching or tracking for dolphins. The Beach allow us access to some of the best reefs in Oahu with lava tubes, swim throughs, and ledges. The Mahi Wreck, Airplane Canyon, and Makaha Caverns are some of the popular dive sites we visit while diving the west side. The west side also has the most "flat days" a year, which provides for very comfortable diving. The Beach operates from Waianae harbor.
