Oahu Scuba Diving

Prices:

Certified Divers (12+ years old): $174 (+ $20 Equipment Rental) Must present certification card at time of dive

Passengers/Snorkelers (12+ years old): US$89 *Snorkeling not permitted on whale watch chaters

Morning Dives are 2 tank dives, a deep site, (usually a wreck), and a shallow reef or drift. If you are driving yourself to the dive shop, then plan to arrive at 7:30am as there is paperwork to do, we board passengers at about 8:10, and if you are renting equipment you have to try it on first. Note: our three daily regularly scheduled dive charters all depart from 377 Keahole St., Honolulu, HI 96825 which is our Hawaii Kai Marina dive shop address. We do have dive charters that depart from other harbors, so please ask us if you are unsure of your departure location. The boats depart the dock at 8:30am (deep and drift), or 9am (shallow reef dives) and both dive boats usually return to the dock at noon.

We do not have a set schedule and like to change up the dive sites often. We love this job! You can make specific scuba dive site requests when you sign up for a scuba charter, but unless you book a private boat we cannot guarantee any particular site. We can promise you this though: we’ll go to the best dive sites that day based on the diving conditions and taking into account all the dive sites requests that we get. We truly do want you to have the best diving day possible.

If you are interested in deepening your scuba diving experience, ask your dive instructor if there is a specialty course that you can work on during your dives. You can dive in Oahu and go home with an additional scuba certification at the same time! Check out some of the Oahu dive sites we visit.

Our Signature Oahu Diving Service

Waikiki and Honolulu scuba charters. Once at the shop you’ll be asked to sign the ever-present liability release and present your diving card. Drinks and light snacks will be present on the boat, especially water. Disposable/Reusable flash underwater cameras are available upon request in the shop. We suggest you wear sunscreen and you may want to bring a towel. If you chill easily, a windbreaker or extra shirt between dives is a good thing to bring. If you are prone to motion sickness, we suggest taking an anti-nausea medication like Dramamine before your charter leaves the dock. If you are booked on the Sea Fox (8:30 am and 12:30 am dives) then there is a dry, enclosed cabin as well as a diving deck for you to store your personal items.

At the boat dock, the captain will give a boat safety briefing. Of course, the Divemaster will give a thorough dive site and safety briefing on the way to the dive site. He or she will also be on hand underwater to point out interesting dive site features and as an extra safety precaution. Certified divers are ultimately responsible for their own safety. After the dives, the Divemaster/Instructor will help fill out and stamp logbooks. If you are a certified diver and would like Island Divers to be directly responsible for your safety underwater, we would be happy to provide you with a professional private dive buddy. Private instructors $175 per trip in addition to the cost of the dive charter.
