Welcome to a captivating underwater world where the azure waters of Hawaii teem with approximately forty species of sharks, showcasing the rich diversity of marine life endemic to these stunning islands. Click on any photo to immerse yourself in the mesmerizingdetails of these magnificent creatures. From the deep-water Pygmy Shark, measuring a mere 8 inches, to the awe-inspiring Whale Shark, stretching up to 50 feet or more, our shark gallery offers a glimpse into the fascinating realm of these oceanic predators.

White Tip Reef Shark

Shark5

Among the eight commonly sighted species near the shore, the White Tip Reef Shark stands out, alongside the Sandbar, Reef Whitetip, and Scalloped Hammerhead, occasionally joined by the majestic Tiger. Acting as top-level carnivores, they play a crucial role in reef ecosystems, contributing to the balance of fish populations by preying on the sick and injured.

Sharks, endowed with highly developed sensory capabilities, navigate their surroundings with finesse. Their acute hearing and smell detection span impressive distances, up to two miles or more depending on water conditions. Despite their powerful eyesight, which relies on water clarity, sharks rely on the ampullae of Lorenzini, receptors on their snouts, to detect faint electrical fields emitted by living organisms. This enables them to locate prey during dusk, night, and dawn, the favored feeding times for inshore species.

Sharks, naturally curious and environmentally aware, rarely pose a threat to humans, with encounters being infrequent. While some species are potentially dangerous, such as the Tiger, Galapagos, Gray Reef, and Scalloped Hammerhead, attacks are uncommon, occurring at an average rate of two or three per year in Hawaiian waters. Surfers and spearfishers are advised to exercise caution, and divers often carry protective measures like a shark billy or a bang stick. By understanding these incredible creatures and exercising common sense, we can navigate the waters safely, appreciating the hidden wonders of Hawaii's marine world while minimizing any potential risks.


 

CERTIFIED DIVING - WRECK DIVING

The best wreck diving experience in Hawaiian waters! Join us on a guided tour of a beautiful wreck on the south shore of Oahu followed by a beautiful guided tour of one of Honolulu's favorite reef sites. Start your day with the best diving experience offered on Oahu!

Wreck locations include the following:

  • The Sea Tiger - Hawaii's deepest recreational diving wreck! The 189' Sea Tiger rests in 123 feet of water while the superstructure and deck are at depths of 60-90', offering great diving!

  • The YO-257 & San Pedro - These two ships lay side by side with about 50 yards between them. The YO-257 rests in 115 feet of water while the superstructure and deck are at depths of 70-90'. The San Pedro is a bit shallower, 65-85'. This site can experience strong currents and is only dove when conditions are ideal.

Specialty long-range charters on Wednesdays and Saturdays include the following:

  • The Ewa Pinnacles & The Navy Tug - Embark on a guided tour of the Ewa Pinnacles, an ancient lava pinnacle formation covered with Hawaiian corals and surrounded by fish in 75-90' deep water. After your surface interval, come with us to the Nashua, a Navy tug boat sunk in 2012 as an artificial reef in 65'.

  • The Corsair & Fantasy Reef - Dive a WWII fighter plane, the Corsair that sits in 115' of water in an upright position. The plane was ditched back in 1948 while on a routine mission from Pearl Harbor. The water may be fairly rough and currents can be strong so this Oahu SCUBA dive is for advanced divers only. After your surface interval, come with us to Fantasy Reef, one of Honolulu's favorite reef sites in 25-50' of water.

  • The LCU Wreck & Fantasy Reef - Glide along the LCU Wreck, an upside down Landing Craft Utility that is surrounded by artificial reef Z-blocks in 75-90' of water. After your surface interval, come with us to Fantasy Reef, one of Honolulu's favorite reef sites in 25-50' of water.

  • The Navy Tug and Keehi Pipe - Come with us to the Nashua, a Navy tug boat sunk in 2012 as an artificial reef in 65'. After your surface interval, come with us to Keehi Pipe, another of Honolulu's favorite reef sites in 25-40' of water.
