Diving on Oahu

[Crandolph]

Hi everyone,
My wife and I will be traveling to Oahu in July of this year. Can anyone recommend a dive operation to us? Does anyone have experience with Island divers? I hear they give a military discount. We would like to do an array of dives all around the island including some shore dives but with there being so many dive operators around I am at a loss of where we should go. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

Great dive operation and fun dive guides! Convenient pick-up service from any hotel in Waikiki.

I always try for a visit with Island Divers on Oahu stopovers from Micronesia/SE Asia, on my way home back to Los Angeles. . .

Talk to Gabe at Kaimana Divers. Ive been out with him a couple times now on work trips. I will happily give thema good review anytime and go back out with them any time. AAA+++ operation. If you have specific questions feel free to PM me.

Just spent the day with the group at Island Divers a couple of weeks ago. I had a good time so it would be hard to go wrong with them and yes they do offer a military discount.

I have also heard good things about Kaimana Divers but I have never dived with them. Gabe is a frequent SB poster so he will probably chime in at some point.

I've been out with both and IMO you will be happy with either. Both also have military discounts. A +1 for IDH is that they have 2 dive shops with one being on Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam, from which they do a couple dives a week. Something no other shop on Oahu does.

A +1 for KD is that they do a couple dives that no one else does on Oahu, such as the Shark Dive Charter and possibly the new "Blackwater" Night dive.

Both have FB pages and KD has a really neat group FB page called "Friends of Kaimana Divers" where you can find out all kinds of good Oahu diving info.

Summer is also shore diving season on the Northshore. Check out Shorediving.com for info on the most frequented sites.

Another recommendation for Gabe and the Kaiama Divers crew. Great people, professional, and fun on every dive.

My husband and I will be there as well, the first week. We're also looking for info. Happy diving!

I dove with Kaimana Divers on April 23rd while on Oahu. Did the Sea Tiger wreck as the first dive and the Kewalo Pipe as a second dive. Great dive op! Dive Master pointed out several critters that I would have missed such as my first Frog Fish (on the Sea Tiger) Also at the Pipe there is not a lot of coral but lots of cool critters the day we dove it. Magnificent Snake Eel out and about as well as some kind of Flatworm that is usually nocturnal, others on the boat were exctied about spotting one out in the daytime. I would recomment them in a heartbeat.
