About this experience
Having operated on Oahu's west side for years, I can tell you that this 3 tank west side dive charter offers something truly special - they're the only dive boat on this side of the island, which means you'll skip the crowds that plague other parts of the island.
Your day kicks off with the Mahi wreck, one of two fascinating LCUs (landing craft utility vessels) resting on the ocean floor. Depending on conditions, you might also explore airplane canyon. The guides read the ocean conditions and will pick the best sites based on what's best for the conditions that day.
The second dive could take you to deep reef exploration at Black Rock Sea Cave, another historic wreck, or through one of the area's incredible lava tube formations. Each option offers something completely different, keeping the adventure fresh.
Your final dive shifts to shallow lava tube reef exploration - perfect for soaking in the volcanic formations and marine life at a more relaxed pace. Since this is the only dive boat on this side of the island, they get first pick of dive spots and can adapt to find the day's most promising locations.
A few things to remember: no flying for at least 18 hours post-dive, and bring your bathing suit, towel, sunscreen, plus any snacks and drinks you'll want.
Regarding cancellations: more than 14 days out gets you a full refund minus $40 booking fee. Less than 14 days nets you credit minus the same fee. Within 48 hours requires trip insurance for refunds, and rebooking runs $50. Weather cancellations by the operator mean full refunds or credits. This 3 tank west side dive charter opens up Oahu's untouched underwater western frontier like nowhere else can.
