About
Enjoy a beautiful morning on some of the stunning mid shore reef sites in the area. These sites are a little deeper and further from shore, so visibility is better and traffic less. Bring along two tanks and all the necessary gear. We have a cooler aboard with ice and plenty of bottled water on hand. Feel free to bring snacks, drinks of your choosing and whatever will make you comfortable during the morning. Bring a hat, sunscreen and cover-up clothing appropriate to the season. We have comfortable seating and excellent customer service to make your day one to remember. A professional divemaster will be onboard. We change your tanks for you on surface intervals and do whatever we can to make sure your dives and trip are enjoyable. We will have you back at the dock in time for lunch and the rest of the day is yours to enjoy. The trip departs at 7:30 AM, please be at the marina at 7:00 AM Please bring a copy of your certification card and signed copy of the waiver and release that can be found on the website.

If you need help finding rental gear, please let Captain Andy know as far in advance as possible. The Niuhi carries no extra dive gear, so if you show up without a regulator, you're probably not going to dive.
Please show up on time, and be prepared to leave the dock 10-15 minutes after the posted charter time. You can save yourself some time by printing and filling out the waiver before you come to the boat.
We have space for your dive bags and boxes but please pack reasonably. Please assemble your scuba unit at one of the tank holders. Some people assemble their gear before they board, which is good too!
Let the crew know if you have any special requests, we′ll try our best to accommodate you.
Divemasters work for tips, and the customary gratuity for a dive charter is $10 per tank. If you feel the crew went the extra mile to make your day fun and safe, please show your appreciation at the tip jar.
