Dive in Oahu

The WWII Corsair fighter is an airplane wreck that sunk in 1946 during training (reason: out of fuel!). The pilot escaped and is still alive.A large ships anchor on the bottom holds a sub-surface buoy that lies just below the surface providing a tie in point as well as a descent line.An interesting…

This is a great dive site, much more to see under than above ;-) Summer months bring snorkeling tours out to site. Be careful of boats and bring a dive flag! Watch for turtles catch the updraft from the pipe. They look like they are really flying. DO NOT GO IN THE EXIT SURGE FROM THE PIPE YOURSELF!…

big turtles can be found here

Haleiwa Trench has two sections. The first reef goes out from ankle deep to 30' then drops off to about 60'. Heading to the right side of the reef following the wall gets to about 90'.There is a turtle cleaning station on the top of the reef in 30' of water just past the entry, its a good idea to…

This is the beach where Burt Lancaster and Deborah Kerr got hot and heavy, making out in a wicked beach break in the movie "From Here to Eternity". (I think I would've found the waves a little distracting.Seriously, they're getting their backsides handed to them big time and I doubt they enjoyed…

Easy dive, turtles and fish

Eels, Hawksbill turtles and somethime Mantas.

Makaha Caverns are usually accessed by boat, but you can swim by the beach (about 150 yards).Shore diving is a serious surface swim, if there are surfers present then I would advise against the dive.Following the reef line from the shore there will be a mooring buoy and just in on the reef from…

IF YOUR BOAT CAPTAIN SAYS HE IS GOING TO THE PIPELINE - DO NOT GO!!!Pipeline is a pathetic dive site, located just outside of the harbor.I have been diving in Oahu by myself and privately for a while.Diving in this manner is what gives the island such a bad name.This dive only makes sense if you own…

Slowly sloping coral reef to 50 feet of depth, sea turtles and tropical fish. Moderate shore break.

Nice Dive site. Genreally good visibility. Advanced Dive.Wreck of old fishing vessel. Inside has decent amount of access, though most of it has been blocked of by local divers hoping to protect those unaware of the dangers of penetrating a wreck.Occasionally spotted eagle ray, crown of thorns (DON"T…

shore diving .com has a great description:http://www.shorediving.com/Earth/Hawaii/Oahu/Sharks_Cove/#siteVery easy shore dive, local PADI instructors take students here for their open water cert dives.Lots of turtles, fishes... also neat swim-throughs in the reef.Nothing too nasty, maybe the…

This site locally called Three Tables, because of the three flat rock formations just offshore are lava fingers which protrude into the ocean. The left side provides a great view of white tip reef sharks, but is a surface swim to reach the cave where they stay. On the right is a popular site with a…
