The teeming reefs and mysterious wrecks of Oahu’s crystalline waters offer an exceptional opportunity to view some of the worlds most amazing aquatic creatures. Make sure your first dives in the open sea are extraordinary by taking them in the blue Pacific off the shores of Oahu. Play hide and seek with an octopus in the rooms of a sunken ship. Swim with schools of blue stripped snapper. Watch sea turtles as they meander along the ocean floor. See sharks as they make languorous circles in the water. Play with dolphins as they frolic in the surf, and explore the amazingly vibrant coral reefs that are teeming with tropical fish species—all while you complete your scuba certification requirements.

 This course is conducted in accordance with PADI standards and consists of four dives to a sunken tanker off the southern shore of Oahu spread over two days. The PADI certified dive instructors are committed to making your dive both fun and safe. All rental gear is maintained to the highest standards.

 All dives are done from aboard the Enzo, a brand new, state-of-the-art, twin engine catamaran. This vessel was designed for both speed and stability on the surf of the open sea. In addition, she has tons of room for divers to don gear and easy entry/exit points on the stern. The completely enclosed cabin also offers shade from the sun and a fresh water shower and bathroom. Gear will be provided, as well as snacks for munching on between dives.
