Discover Scuba Diving – Hawaii Kai

Discover Scuba Diving in Oahu is designed to allow anyone to experience scuba diving for the very first time.

In the warm, clear ocean off Waikiki Honolulu, under the direct supervision of the Oahu Scuba Diving, a PADI certified Instructor, you’ll get to experience the thrill of easily breathing underwater!

First, reserve your spot today as space is limited on our boats! Second, prepare for fun! Bring a towel, sunscreen, swimsuit, and snacks/water. Everything else you will need is already on the boat. On the 20 min ride out to the dive sites, you will be briefed on what to expect and the few simple skills you’ll need to know to dive safely, such as mask clearing, how to equalize your ears to the water pressure, regulator usage, clearing and recovery, proper fin kicking and basic hand signals.

At the dive site, the boat is moored in place. A wide stable platform is then dropped to provide an easy way on and off the boat. Guidelines descend for twenty feet below the platform, providing divers something to hang on to while the instructor takes each person through the basic skills before they descend all the way to the reef below.

With only four divers per instructor ratio, you’re assured of safety and personalized attention. Oahu Scuba Diving has been teaching and leading Oahu scuba divers for 17 years! Greg still loves watching the faces of young and old light up at their first experience of the amazing world beneath the waves.

Our Discover Oahu scuba diving experience encourages scuba diving exploration for first-timers and beginners new to the ocean to satisfy their curiosity about Waikiki scuba diving in a way that is supremely safe and enjoyable.

Requirements for Discover SCUBA Diving

There is a minimum age requirement of 10 years old, and a wavier form to be filled out before you go SCUBA diving. It is important that you are somewhat comfortable in the water before you try diving. We always say if you can jump in a pool and swim back to the edge you are a capable enough swimmer to try SCUBA diving with us.

No classroom tests or studying is required. We will teach you all you need to know on the boat before you enter the water. The boat trip, all your rental gear, the class, and your instructor are included.

Please bring swimming attire and remember to wear sunscreen and bring a hat and/or sunglasses! Life is bright, you gotta have shades!
