Coral Reef Dives
About This Experience
There's something magical about exploring Waikiki's underwater world with Discover Scuba Hawaii's two-dive coral reef adventure. This 3-hour experience takes you to two distinct sites where you'll spend 25-45 minutes underwater per dive, depending on your air consumption.
