Niuhi Dive Charters
6 Hours | Everyday at 7AM
Niuhi Dive Charters operates a schedule of two-tank dive charters and is featured on The Adventure Collective. The operation offers five distinct 2-tank trips: 2 Tank Mid Shore Dives AM; 2 Tank Off Shore Dives AM; 2 Tank Oriskany Dives AM; 2 Tank Nearshore Dives AM; and 2 Tank Nearshore Dives PM. These trip names identify the formats and general timing available to divers.
Niuhi Dive Charters focuses on repeatable, clearly defined itineraries built around two-dive outings. The inclusion of an Oriskany trip highlights access to a named wreck site. Morning and afternoon nearshore departures provide scheduling flexibility for divers who prefer different times of day. Off shore and mid shore options expand the range of dive environments users can select.
As a business featured on The Adventure Collective, Niuhi Dive Charters is presented alongside curated adventure operators, which helps divers discover the available trips. The charter's published trip names make it straightforward for divers to choose between nearshore, mid shore, off shore, and wreck-focused 2-tank experiences.
All information here reflects the trip offerings and public recognition; specifics such as exact departure times, pricing, equipment rental, required certifications, or vessel details are provided directly by the operator and should be confirmed with Niuhi Dive Charters before booking.
The term '2-tank' indicates each listed trip includes two dives per outing, allowing visits to multiple sites in one day. Divers should review the operator's official trip descriptions for site features, depth expectations, booking requirements, and safety information before reserving a spot online.

Arrive Early and Ready
Be at the marina by 7:00 AM to check paperwork and assemble gear so the boat can leave promptly at 7:30 AM.
Bring Your Regulator
The Niuhi carries no spare regulators—if you show without yours you likely won’t be able to dive; contact Captain Andy ahead for rental arrangements.
Pack Seasickness Remedies
Morning Gulf conditions can be calm but bring medication or wristbands if you’re prone to motion sickness.
Protect Yourself from the Sun
Wear a wide-brim hat and long-sleeve rash guard between dives; sun exposure on deck builds quickly even in the morning.
Certification Card (C-Card)
Required to prove certification level before boarding.
Regulator and Primary Scuba Gear
The Niuhi does not carry spare regulators; bring your full set to dive.
Personal Dive Computer
Necessary for monitoring profiles across two dives and surface intervals.
Seasickness Medication or Wristbands
Helpful for those prone to motion sickness on the boat transit.
