About this activity

Meet your expert instructor in Waikiki at approximately 10:15 am. Begin your course with a visit to the dive shop, where you’ll fill out the necessary paperwork and get fitted with equipment.

Afterward, head to the boat for an instructor-led briefing, which serves to highlight scuba diving basics including how to communicate underwater. Then, it’s off to a nearby dive site.

Start out in shallow water on a line that is connected from the boat to the bottom of the sea. Practice a few of your learned skills and spend some time getting comfortable before heading out on your first unassisted scuba dive.

Follow your instructor on a guided underwater tour around a coral reef, swim in an area known for sea creatures like turtles, octopus and eels. Pop up to switch tanks, then it’s time for another go.

Your tour concludes at your original departure point in Waikiki.

The wave and current were too strong. Not suitable for beginner diver. Only one instructor was available on the boat.

This was such a cool adventure! My wife and I have always wanted to try SCUBA, but did not want to spend all of the money required to become certified this trip gave us that opportunity! We were contacted by the company a few weeks in advance to set up a pick-up location in Waikiki. On the day of the excursion, we were picked up on time and brought right to the dive shop where they got us fitted for everything we would need. We then went to the harbor where our boat was waiting. After a quick and easy SCUBA tutorial on shore with one of their experienced dive instructors, we were off to the dive site. They did 2 separate dives and we got to see so much! the highlights were a sea turtle and a white tipped shark. After the excursion, we were driven back to the hotel in Waikiki with all afternoon to spare. This is an excursion for both those with and without certification, so do not be intimidated or think you are in the wrong place if you show up and find that everyone else is certified. They did a great job with us newbies, and I would highly recommend this excursion if you are interested in SCUBA and want to see a side of Hawaii that many do not see.
