What to Expect

Depart from Kewalo Basin for a two-tank dive into two very different sides of Oʻahu’s underwater world. Your first descent typically takes you deep alongside a sunken ship, where massive hulls emerge from the blue and sea turtles, sharks, and schools of fish move through wreckage transformed into thriving artificial reefs.

After a surface interval onboard, head back down for a shallower reef dive filled with Hawaiian marine life. Depending on conditions, explore turtle cleaning stations, coral-covered lava formations, or reef structures where moray eels, octopuses, whitetip reef sharks, and spotted eagle rays may appear.

With no more than six divers per guide, there’s plenty of personal attention throughout both dives before cruising back to Kewalo Basin.

Dive Sites

Sea Tiger | 80–130 ft - Oʻahu’s deepest recreational wreck, a 165-foot former trading vessel now covered in marine life. Explore its intact structure while watching for large sea turtles, pyramid butterflyfish, and whitetip reef sharks.

YO-257 & San Pedro | 60–100 ft - Two shipwrecks resting roughly 100 feet apart, creating a dramatic artificial reef filled with coral, fish, and eels. You may even see an Atlantis submarine cruising between the wrecks.

Turtle Canyon | 15–30 ft - A shallow reef and busy Hawaiian green sea turtle cleaning station where multiple honu frequently gather as reef fish clean their shells.

Nautilus Reef | 30–60 ft - Explore Hawaiian hard coral and lava ledges where whitetip reef sharks often rest alongside moray eels, octopuses, and other reef life.

Horseshoe Reef & Kewalo Pipe | 40–65 ft - Follow coral formations and the marine-covered Kewalo Pipe in search of eels, starfish, tropical fish, and passing spotted eagle rays.
