About This Adventure

Dive with Nitrox for extended underwater adventures, ensuring more time to discover the ocean's wonders. Join us for an early morning aquatic journey!
Our two tank 7an charter is a deep and shallow profile. Our first dive is typically either Sea Tiger or YO 257. These fascinating wrecks never disappoint. Our second dive is typically a reef at a depth of 40-60'. We dive Nitrox on this charter. This gives us longer bottom times and shorter surface intervals. More time underwater. If you are not Nitrox Certified an instructor will give you a Nitrox Briefing that lets you dive Nitrox that day.
Our two tank 7am charter has a 6:45 am meetup time for a 7am departure out of Kewalo Basin. Occasionally we need to move this charter to a boat in Ala Wai Harbor and it becomes a 7:30 am departure. When this happens we will let you know with plenty of notice and with clear details.
