Become a Certified Scuba Diver!

Phase III with Hawaii Dive Center is the part of scuba training Honolulu visitors remember - two days on the actual ocean, four checkout dives, and a certification card waiting at the finish line.

Here's how it breaks down: two dives each day, with depths progressing from a maximum of 40 feet up to a maximum of 60 feet as your comfort builds across the program. Every skill from confined water practice gets repeated here under real open-ocean conditions, and once you've shown proficiency across all four dives, you're certified. Running Monday through Sunday, the schedule slots cleanly into a longer Oahu stay - no scrambling to rearrange your week around a weekday-only window.

The meeting point is Honolulu, Hawaii - right where the water itself is the point. Hawaii Dive Center describes these as Hawaii's splendid blue waters, and that open-ocean environment is precisely what the final checkout phase is built for.

As for cost, contact Hawaii Dive Center directly via the booking button for current rates. On cancellations: give notice within 48 hours and you'll receive a rain-check credit; weather decisions are made the day of the dive; no-shows are charged the full price; all sales are final.

If your goal is to become a certified scuba diver in Honolulu, Phase III is the session where the training stops feeling like practice and starts feeling like diving - and Hawaii Dive Center runs it seven days a week, which makes fitting it into an Oahu itinerary genuinely straightforward.
