Description

Discover the open-ocean world of sharks on this unforgettable Oahu shark cage diving tour. More than just an adventure, this educational experience gives you a close-up look at Galapagos and Sandbar sharks in their natural habitat, three miles off the North Shore of Oahu. From the safety of a floating cage, you’ll watch these powerful and graceful predators glide through the deep blue below you. No scuba experience is required, simply enter the cage from above and use a mask and snorkel to observe through large polyglass viewing windows. Witnessing sharks in their natural environment will transform the way you see these awe-inspiring creatures and deepen your appreciation for Hawaii’s marine life.

Shark Dive Experience with the Kids

Kaleb and Efram were awesome. We were fortunate enough to have a small group go out so we had about 40 minutes of cage time. Saw 5 Galapagos Sharks.

Nick and miles are super cool

Nick and Miles were the most amazing crew. Both had a great sense of humor and a really good knowledge of not only the sharks but everything else we saw too! The barracuda and Iwa bird lessons were amazing little surprises!

guides

Nick and Miles were the best guides i’ve ever had on a trip. they went above and beyond for my family and is experience. my boyfriends mother dropped her phone in the water and they were immediately willing to look for it. if i could give a 10 star review i would definitely give that. absolutely ineffable experience.
