Hau'oli Ocean Style is an Oahu-based dive and snorkeling operator offering guided ocean experiences around Hanauma Bay, Waikiki, West Oahu, and the North Shore. The company specializes in beginner-friendly introductory dives, boat dives from Waikiki, beach-entry dives on West Oahu, seasonal North Shore outings, private family tours, and guided snorkeling and skin-diving trips.
Tours include Hanauma Bay guided diving and snorkeling, Waikiki boat diving and snorkeling with Diamond Head views, rare West Oahu beach dives, a summer-only North Shore diving tour (June–August) promoted with a 100% chance of sea turtle sightings, mixed diving plans that visit wrecks and reefs, exclusive kids' discovery dives for ages eight and up, and dedicated fun-diving wreck trips off Waikiki. Several tours note small group sizes, priority Hanauma Bay entry, and certified Japanese-language guide availability.
Safety and convenience are emphasized: certified instructors and dedicated guides lead all experiences, required gear is provided for introductory dives, and many trips include transportation, refreshments, and complimentary underwater photos. No diving license is required for the beginner programs, and the kids' private dives are tailored for ages eight and older.
Hau'oli Ocean Style focuses on responsible marine interactions within Oahu's protected areas. Popular wildlife encounters promoted across tours include sea turtles, reef fish, occasional dolphins, rays, Hawaiian monk seals, and, in some locations, sharks. The operator positions itself for families, first-time divers, and experienced divers seeking wreck and reef exploration in Oahu's clear waters.
Some Hanauma Bay experiences allow same-day bookings without prior reservations, subject to availability and rules.
