How do we get started ?

First you will need to fill out the form below, both front and back to sides. You can either do this now or do this when we meet. This is standard practice for all insured dive company/charter services. Make sure, if you do have any medical conditions please consult with your doctor before hand. Your doctor can only clear you to participate. The form will be reviewed by Oahu Diving before any dives are made.

We will begin our adventure with a thorough overview of the SCUBA gear. Touching mostly on breathing methods and how to stay relaxed on the scuba dive. Simple skills such as regulator recovery, scuba mask clearing and equalizing your ears will be practiced. Other useful skills for scuba diving will be taught as well, theses include; hand signals proper swimming techniques and buoyancy control. These and a few skills you will quickly master prior to going on your fun scuba dives. Our friendly PADI qualified scuba Instructors will work at YOUR PACE- NOT OURS ! Once the on boat training is complete and scuba briefing is finished we will head to the water. Since we use a stable boat that is moored up to a buoy entry in the water is simple. There is always a line to use for our decent down to the reef. This means, an easy controlled and extremely safe way of diving. Great for equalizing your ears. Honestly, it shouldn't be done any other way. As we make our way slowly down the line we will stop at around 8 feet. This is a typical depth of a swimming pool. At this depth we will do our final checks until resuming to the reef bottom which are roughly 30 feet in depth. This is the most important step in making a scuba dive. Sort of the like the take off of an airplane. It really has to be done perfectly without any issues.

Once down on the reefs it is all about fun. You will be amazed at the cool marine life that lives in the waters just off the coast of Oahu. Fish such as butterfly fishes of all types, trigger fishes, octopuses, rays and turtles are commonly seen. (Ok, I know you are thinking about sharks right ? Well the good news is they have no interest in scuba divers usually preferring a quit area of the reef.)Also we get this question too."How long are the dives ?" This depends on the scuba diver in question. Usually females do better while scuba diving- air consumption. Average scuba dive times are roughly 30-45 minutes per dive. Again, each person will be different. Once underwater our SCUBA Instructors (all with over 5000 dives) will led you on the adventure of a lifetime making sure your dives are both safe and fun! Take a look at the type of reefs you will be diving on.(places and dive boats may vary due to weather and ocean conditions but this will for sure give you a great idea of what you will expect) What shows up on these scuba dives in Hawaii e have seen amazing marine life on these reefs. Obviously there are no fences that surround our Oahu dive sites; rays, turtles, reef fish, eels, sharks, and dolphins which are commonly seen in Oahu's may not show up at times.
