Dolphin Divers

3 Tank West Side Dive Charter

This charter from Dolphin Divers explores the west side of Oahu, visiting wrecks, reef sites, and lava tubes across multiple dives. The first dive goes to a wreck, with options including the Mahi, one of the landing craft utility wrecks, or airplane canyon. The guide selects the second dive based on conditions that day, choosing from sites such as the deep reef at Black Rock Sea Cave, another wreck, or a lava tube dive. The third dive is a shallow lava tube reef dive. Because the guide reads the day's conditions and picks accordingly, the exact sites can vary from what is listed. Physical intensity is rated moderate, so divers should be comfortable with active water activity. No food or drinks are provided, so bringing snacks and water is a good idea. This is a shared charter with no private option available.

Pelagic Night Dive

Two Tank Lava Tube, Reef and Intro to Scuba Dives

Dolphin Divers runs this scuba trip out of Ko Olina on Oahu's west side, taking certified divers and first-timers alike to shallower reef sites and the lava tubes at Makaha Caverns. The highlight at Makaha Caverns is a set of fully formed underwater lava tubes where green sea turtles are often seen resting near the entrance. Because the exit is visible from the entrance, divers can swim through the tubes. Reef dives are also available, suited to those who want longer bottom time or who have not been in the water for a while. All equipment is provided, including dive computers, though personal gear is welcome. Snacks and refreshments are included, and transportation from Ko Olina hotels and resorts is available. Friends and family who do not plan to dive are welcome aboard the boat. First-time divers join under direct instructor supervision. Confident swimming ability is required.

Two Tank Wreck and Lava Tube Dive

Dolphin Divers runs the trip with a small group format, keeping the experience guided and attentive throughout both dives. All scuba equipment is included and comes from recognized manufacturers. Transportation to the harbor is included for guests staying at Ko Olina resorts, though the tour is open to anyone. Reef fish are commonly encountered at the dive sites. No food or drinks are provided, so bringing water and a snack is a practical idea. The meeting point is Waianae Small Boat Harbor, which sits on the island's west coast. Guests staying elsewhere on Oahu should plan their own way to the harbor. This tour suits divers who want to see both a wreck and a volcanic lava tube formation in a single outing with full equipment support and guided coverage of both sites.
