First Time Introductory Scuba Dive
Overview
On our late morning dive trip, we visit two shallow reefs (average depth of 30′ to 40′ / 9m-12m). We will see hundreds, even thousands of colorful reef fish. More than 25% are endemic to Hawaii, meaning they are only found here. There is a lot of great coral too, with 40% of our corals endemic to Hawaii. Of course, we can never guarantee specific wildlife sightings. But there is a great chance you will see other marine life such as eels, sea turtles, rays, octopuses, and dolphins. We see turtles on over 85% of our dives!

What To Expect
Join us for our Basic Diver (Discover Scuba Diving) program and learn the fundamental safety guidelines and skills needed to scuba dive with a dive instructor. Our introductory dives are small groups of one to four people, led by an instructor whose primary focus is your safety, comfort, and enjoyment. Larger groups of people can spook the marine wildlife, so our smaller, private charters ensure the best possible experience.
