Dive Packages

When it comes to dive packages Honolulu has to offer, Waikiki Dive Center stands out as the gold standard. This PADI Five Star Instructor Development Center has been perfecting the art of island diving since 1979, with an impressive track record of over 4 million safe dives and 35,000 certified divers. Their valet diving concept and commitment to small group ratios create an experience that feels personal, not rushed.

Certified divers can choose from three well-crafted packages. The 3-Day Two Tank Day Dive Package starts from $499, while the 4-Day option runs $649. For those who want to maximize their time underwater, the 5-Day Two Tank Day Dive Package costs $789. What I love about these packages is their flexibility—you can combine multiple days into epic single-day adventures that work with your island schedule. Night owls will appreciate the exotic night dives, available for just $75 per person per charter.

The team here knows these waters intimately and operates two US Coast Guard certified vessels with premier gear. You'll find them at 424 Nahua Street in central Waikiki, where they've built their reputation on zero hidden fees and straightforward booking. Sunday morning shipwreck safaris come with a $50 distance fee, and Open Water Certified divers can upgrade to shipwreck exploration for an additional $50 (Advanced Open Water Certified divers and higher dive without this fee). Want personalized attention? Private dive guides are available for $189 per trip.

These dive packages Honolulu visitors purchase are non-refundable, valid for two years from purchase date, and designed for one diver each. You'll need to pass the PADI medical questionnaire and arrive 15 minutes before check-in. The experienced instructor team prioritizes safety above all, with rescheduling available only when weather conditions require safety calls from the crew.
