About Dive Oahu

Dive Oahu is a Honolulu, Hawaii based dive and snorkeling operator offering guided scuba dives, snorkel adventures, cruises, and private charters. The company runs a range of trips on Oahu’s south and west shores, including multi‑tank dive itineraries, wreck and reef dives, shallow reef tours for all skill levels, night dives, Turtle Canyon snorkeling, and BYOB Waikiki coast cruises.

Each scuba trip is led by a PADI professional or expert guide, providing guided dives to iconic sites such as the Mahi and Corsair wrecks, Sea Tiger, and YO-257. Dive Oahu offers two‑tank and three‑tank options where noted, and provides premium gear and equipment on many tours. Non‑certified participants can join guided shallow reef experiences after a skills session, while certified divers access deeper reef and wreck sites.

Wildlife encounters are a highlight on many departures: guests can expect to see Hawaiian green sea turtles (Honu), tropical reef fish, dolphins, and seasonal humpback whales during winter months. Night dives reveal nocturnal species like reef sharks and turtles under professional supervision.

Private charters on the south shore can be customized for scuba, snorkeling, or leisure, with equipment, snacks, and refreshments provided. The BYOB Waikiki Coast Cruise offers two‑hour sightseeing cruises past Waikiki Beach and Diamond Head, with opportunities for turtle and dolphin viewing.

All descriptions reflect Dive Oahu’s published trip offerings and safety‑led guided experiences in Honolulu, Hawaii. Tours are suitable for families, groups, and individual travelers seeking marine wildlife and underwater exploration. Bookings are available online and by phone. Year-round availability.
