While other Hawaii scuba dive companies focus on specific sites, We at Rainbow Scuba dive all 4 regions of Oahu, Hawaii.
Because of this, you will experience the best conditions and scuba diving on Oahu. As well, you will also be able to dive a different region every day while on your dive vacation.
Oahu - the "gathering place" - is our home of world-class SCUBA diving. From a SCUBA diver's perspective, Oahu has 4 distinct regions - North Shore, West Shore, South Shore and the Southeast Shore. Each region offers a different dive experience and has its own unique character. As such, each offers a different dive experience.
South Shore Dive Sites
The Honolulu South Shore provides us with some of the most exciting ship wreck scuba diving on Oahu. The dive sites are close to Waikiki and the harbor so the boat ride is fast and easy.
Sea Tiger The Sea Tiger is the deepest ship wreck on the island. It was sunk as an artificial reef in 1999, is 189 feet long, and is thriving with marine life. It rests in 122 feet of water.
YO-257 Wreck The YO-257 is arguably the most exciting ship wreck to dive. There are actually two ship wrecks to see at this site: The San Pedro (80 feet long) rests only 30 meters from the YO-257 (190 feet long). This is definitely a two-for-one dive. You can expect to see white-tip reef sharks, eagle rays, and even get your picture taken by the occupants of the Atlantis Submarine. That's right, the tourists will be inside the submarine looking out at you. Maximum depth is 107 feet.
Kewalo Basin Pipe This site provides you with easy navigation and the opportunity to see the elusive dragon eel. There is an abundance of aquatic life to observe and photograph. Maximum depth is 60 feet.
Nautical Reef - This is a horseshoe-shaped reef with a resident white-tip reef shark. You can expect to see eels, puffer fish, butterfly fish and green sea turtles. Maximum depth is 30 feet.
Turtle Reef - This reef is teeming with green sea turtles, cleaner wrasse and eels. These lava fingers extend to and from the shore. It is easy to navigate and fun to conduct photography or just enjoy the friendly aquatic life. Maximum depth is 35 feet.
