Oahu’s shipwrecks have unique stories, but they were sunk as artificial reefs. The YO-257 and Sea Tiger are not the only wrecks we have, but they are the biggest and best on our side of the island. These dives tend to be about 100’ deep and are far enough offshore for pelagic encounters. These wrecks are covered with amazing animals, from small nudibranchs to big reef predators like jacks and rays. We often see turtles and sharks too. This is the premier dive trip for experienced divers.

Our beautiful coral reefs are perfect for all divers, from those fresh out of their Open Water course to experienced divers. These reefs tend to be shallower, in the 40-45’ range and loaded with amazing animals. We always see beautiful coral gardens, covered with lots of fish; we often also see Sea Turtles, Eels, Octopus, and Nudibranchs. Coral Reef Dives are easier and more casual for the diver who wants a relaxed experience. What You’ll Get To Do: - Dive with Sea Turtles, Beautiful Reefs, Endemic Fish and more - Go on 2 Guided Scuba Dives - Fresh Pineapple, snacks, and water between dives - We do the hard work, you get to do the fun stuff Professional Photography or Private Guides available

Hawaiian Diving Adventures is happy to accommodate your request, but please be sure to contact us about your night dive as far in advance as possible. Night dives are so amazing! No matter how many times you have been on a reef during the day, at night it is completely different, as so many more fish venture out under the protection of the darkness. Nocturnal creatures emerge from hiding and sleeping all day to cruise the reef and hunt. At night, the scene completely changes. Instead of those cute sleeping whitetip reef sharks we often see during the day, you have a chance to see them hunting. Watch how stealthy and streamlined they are while cruising the reef looking for food.

These beautiful—but destructive—invaders don’t belong here, and they’re taking a serious toll on our reefs. Lionfish are an invasive species in South Florida, and each female can release up to 2 million eggs per year. With no natural predators here, they explode in number. They devour our juvenile reef fish—snapper, grouper, parrotfish, and others that keep our reefs balanced and healthy. The more lionfish that take over, the fewer native fish survive. Join us in helping give our reef residents a fighting chance! Every Third Saturday — Lionfish Showdown on Delta’s Splash! Whoever brings back the most lionfish when we return to the dock gets their dive for FREE. Every lionfish removed truly makes a difference. Let’s clean up the reef together!

We offer 2 tank dive charters to the vibrant reefs of Broward County, where coral cities hum with life and sea turtles cruise like unbothered locals. Conveniently located just minutes from Fort Lauderdale Hollywood International Airport, your underwater escape is practically runway adjacent.Whether you’re looking to simply get wet, earn your first certification, or level up your dive training, we’ve got the tanks filled, the boat ready, and the ocean waiting.
