The diving
The best diving is often found where the human impact is minimal. Hawaii is more than 3219 kilometers from the nearest continental landmass, and is, to say the least… very remote, extremely lush and amazingly tropical. That remoteness pays off with some of the most pristine scenery, cleanest air and unique marine creatures on the planet. But, the US’ diminutive 50th state is also a land of contrast, from the fire of lava to the ice of snow-capped volcanoes, farmland and cities, waterfalls and sandy beaches. In short, it’s a Pacific paradise, particularly so for divers! The deep waters surrounding the island, attracts the larger mammals, like humpback whales in the winter time. But dolphins, turtles, sharks and manta rays are present all year round.
(If you want to dive with the Manta Rays, we recommend you to head over to our dive center on Big Island and the famous Kona Dive!).
The diving around Oahu is for the wreck interested, fish loving diver. Check out some of the dive site descriptions in this brochure, there’s some really cool dives in the area. And keep in mind, it’s the Pacific Ocean. It YELLS awesome warm water diving!
