Turtle Canyons

sight1.jpgAt Turtle Canyons, lava flows have formed a giant, hand-shaped coral reef featuring mountains and valleys, and replete with marine life: sea turtles, eels, sea urchins, octopus, colorful tropical and game fish, sting rays, trumpet and blow fish, brittle stars, etc! Depths of 25 to 35 feet.

Koko Craters

Three large and 2 small underwater volcanic craters form a unique and mysterious watery wonderland. Dive the crater walls and delight in discovering what's tucked away in the crevices: giant sea turtles, coral, living seashells, eels, reef fish, octopus, and an occasional visit from a stingray or a reef shark (harmless). Depths of 35-40 feet.

Corsair

sight3.jpgDitched at sea after running out of fuel, this WW2 fighter is in fantastic condition. Since the pilot ejected, you can explore or even pose for pictures by the cockpit. Since it's in 100 feet of water, much larger reef and game fish are available for observation than in other shallower locations. See eels, larger octopus, living conch shells and garden eels (sticking their heads out of the sand like a forest of pencils that suddenly disappear when approached for closer inspection). Dive time is about 30 minutes, with 12-15 minutes at the bottom. Visibility is practically unlimited on most days.

Sea Cave

sight4.jpgA giant cave opening penetrates the mountain Koko Head, and quickly descends below the ocean, going down to 60 feet before leveling out and heading back out to sea. The giant sea cave that is formed is lit up with its own built in skylight, so no flashlights are necessary. Outside the cave is a sheer cliff descending to depths of 90 feet or more. Docile reef sharks are sometimes observed at this exciting dive site, which boasts marine life unaccustomed to seeing divers on a regular basis.

 

Hanauma Bay

This bay was formed by a cinder cone (small branch crater) that sank below the sea after cooling off. Hanauma is the greatest natural wonder in the islands, featuring outstanding coral formations (both living and historical), clear waters, sugar-like sand, and marine life ranging from yellow tang, speckled eels and angelfish, to large jack (ulua), giant parrotfish, and large sea turtles (even a reef shark on occasion). This protected marine preserve has been stocked with species of tropical marine life to ensure that every endemic variety native to Hawaii is present. they dive the mouth of the bay (both sides if desired), weather permitting, by boat. Snorkeling tours are also available.

Anglers Reef

This site includes a large, steep, lava flow with an edge loaded with complex rock formations. Teaming with fish, eels, turtles, and an occassional white-tip reef shark, this is one of their customers' favorite dive sites.

Note-- There are other locations available such as China Walls, two shipwrecks (one in Waikiki called Y2O), Fantasy Reef, Kahala Barges, and others that they can visit.

Boat Diving

All certified diving is done from their own fast, 12-passenger advanced dive boat for more experienced divers.  they get you there faster and take you to exotic sites that other dive companies only dream about.

For training and easier diving, they go on their spacious 49-passenger trimaran (also gas powered). they have several licensed instructors aboard and at your service. Elbow room is the order of the day.  The service includes onboard bathrooms, and a shuttle boat to and from their office.
