5.00The crew was great! Super laid back and easy trip out. At first there was only one shark, but after the boat made a few circles we ended up having about 8 total. The photos were great, and it was so nice to have that after the tour. Would definitely do another dive with them next time in on Oahu.
A cool memory to share!

5.00Absolutely fantastic experience, from someone who is (was) terrified of sharks! Staff are caring and attentive to make sure everyone is comfortable. They are knowledgeable of the environment and took the time to answer any questions. This is a family owned business which made the experience even better! 100/10 recommend. Will definitely do this tour again! Thanks so much!!

5.00The most amazing experience in Hawaii! Swimming with these beautiful creatures was surreal. Even my husband who was adamant of not going in the water eventually came in and is so happy to got to experience this. This definitely helped me overcome my fear of sharks and deep water. I felt so calm in the ocean especially with the safety divers right next to me. If you’re going to book ONE activity, make it this one!
so cool!
