If you are a scuba diver with a fair amount of experience and/or an Advanced Open Water Diver certification, chances are you’ll want to reserve our morning boat charter service, which starts out with a deep dive to a wreck, followed by a shallower drift dive.
Occasionally, dive sites will change due to conditions or the desires of clients on the boat, but this is the typical schedule. Three tank dives are the exception because that is when we do a three tank, extended range charter with one shallow and two deep dives, with a long interval between the two deep dives. The three tanker is one of our most popular charters, so book early to ensure that you’re on it!
Nitrox Specialty $185
As a diver with experience, you may be interested in our SSI Nitrox Course which has all but replaced our PADI Nitrox course. This course teaches you how to conduct dives with a nitrogen/oxygen mix, where 21-40% of the mix is oxygen and the rest nitrogen. This mix allows you to stay down longer and save energy during your dives, which is a real treat when exploring Oahu’s wrecks!
We provide Nitrox tanks for $17.50 per tank. If you are not Nitrox certified, getting that certification has never been easier or more fun. The complete course is taken online and the only requirement for certification when you show up at the shop is to practice analyzing the oxygen content of a Nitrox tank using the proper equipment, which takes about ten minutes. Included in the price of the course you will receive one Nitrox tank for your dive on your booked 2 tank boat charter and if you want an additional NITROX tank for your course it will be only $17.50.
