Snorkel and Dive Hawaii

Certified Dive Adventure

Private Refresher Dive Adventure

The experience is private, so it can be adjusted to fit the needs of the individual or group rather than following a fixed format. The tour runs as a shore dive, with locations varying based on ocean conditions. Sites around Oahu, including Electric Beach, Turtle Canyon, and Sharks Cove, are among the possible options. An in-water professional dive guide accompanies every dive, and all premium gear is included. A boat dive option is available at an added cost. Divers should arrive ready to enter the water after the dive instructions and should wear a bathing suit and apply reef-safe sunscreen before arriving. Non-drowsy motion sickness medication is worth considering in advance if needed. Bring water and gratuity for the crew. Divers should plan to avoid flying after the dive, as the operator notes that no flying is permitted within a set period following any dive.

1st Time Dive Adventure

The 1st Time Dive Adventure is designed for people who want to try scuba diving without a certification. All experiences depart from shore, and the exact location varies based on ocean conditions. Possible sites include Electric Beach, Turtle Canyon, and Sharks Cove, among others. All gear and equipment are included. Prescription masks can be requested at checkout, and photos and videos are available for an added cost. Basic swimming ability is required, and the physical intensity is rated moderate, so participants should be reasonably comfortable in the water. Before booking, all participants should review the medical questionnaire linked on the listing page. Bring reef-safe sunscreen and apply it before arriving. Wear a bathing suit and bring water. Gratuity for the crew is not included. Taxes and fees are added at checkout.

Diving Certification

The first is the PADI Open Water Scuba Diver course, which takes swimmers through confined and open water dives and ends with a full PADI certification once all required tasks are complete. The second option is the Advanced Open Water course, which requires an existing Open Water Diver certification, improves underwater knowledge and diving skills, and includes adventure dives that allow participants to reach greater depths. All experiences are private and adjustable to fit the needs of a group or family. The dive location is tentative and may shift based on ocean conditions, so some flexibility with plans is helpful. Participants receive further instruction about ocean conditions after booking. Participants must be in good health and able to swim. Pregnant participants and those with a history of severe back or neck problems, or recent surgeries, are not able to take part, as entry is from shore. A health and wellness waiver is part of the process, and consulting a doctor before booking is the participant's responsibility.

Adaptive Snorkeling Tours

Adaptive Snorkeling Tours, run by Snorkel and Dive Hawaii, is a private snorkeling experience designed for individuals with physical and mental disabilities, including autism, sensory processing disorder, Down syndrome, and physical disabilities. Every session is tailored to each person's specific needs, and the group is kept private throughout. The tour launches from the shore, entering the water from the beach rather than a boat. The location shifts based on ocean conditions, with possible spots including Electric Beach, Turtle Canyon, and Sharks Cove. All necessary snorkeling gear is provided, along with in-water instruction from a professional guide who stays in the water with participants. Come dressed in a bathing suit and bring a towel and water. Leave valuables at home. Contacts are better than glasses on the day of the snorkel. If motion sickness is a concern, consider taking non-drowsy medication beforehand with enough lead time. After instruction wraps up, participants go directly into the water.
