If you're looking for Oahu's best-kept diving secret, the West Side Lava Tube - 2 Tank Certified Diver Boat Charter (40-60 ft) delivers exactly what seasoned divers crave. Launching from Waianae Small Boat Harbor, you'll escape the tourist crowds and dive into some of Hawaii's most spectacular underwater terrain.
This 3-4 hour adventure takes certified divers to two distinct reef sites at 40-60 feet depths, where ancient lava tubes create dramatic underwater cathedrals.

Each dive site offers completely different geological features and marine habitats, so you'll never see the same scenery twice.
