Oahu Shark Diving (No cage)
Description
For the thrill-seekers! We will travel three miles off of the North Shore of Oahu to find Hawaiiʼs famous Manō (shark). Surrounded by clear blue abyss, guests will have the opportunity to swim alongside this pelagic predator, with the guidance of a Professionally trained Shark Handler. The crew will provide guests with information on shark biology and behavior, as well as safety guidelines for snorkeling and free diving. The most common resident shark species include Galapagos, Sandbar, and Tiger sharks. However, being in a pelagic (deep-water) zone allows the possibility. A Professional Underwater Photographer will be available to capture your unique experiences in High Quality photos and videos for an additional fee. This is a bucket list item and having this memory documented will always be a great to look back on. Digital files will be sent to you a few days after your tour date. We hope to see you out on the water soon!

Waialua Bay is filled with tons of marine life, from the Hawaiian Spinner Dolphin to dozens of fish species like the Malolo or "Flying Fish" and even the Humpback Whales that migrate to Hawaii in the winter Months. You'll never know what to expect on a Ocean tour.
Waimea Bay sits on the legendary North Shore of Oahu, where the ocean meets the island with power and grace. In the winter, it’s a world-famous surf spot, known for massive waves and expert riders testing their limits. In the summer, the water calms to a glassy, turquoise pool perfect for swimming, snorkeling, and cliff jumping. The surrounding cliffs and golden sand give the bay a dramatic, almost sacred feeling. It's part of a larger cultural landscape, where Hawaiian history and nature still speak. Nearby, Waimea Valley offers a short hike through botanical gardens to a waterfall, adding another layer to the experience. Whether you’re drawn by the thrill or the quiet beauty, Waimea has a way of leaving a mark.
Puaʻena Point Beach Park is a laid-back spot just east of Haleʻiwa on Oʻahu’s North Shore. It’s a favorite among surf schools and beginners, thanks to its mellow waves and forgiving reef breaks . The beach is tucked behind a grove of ironwood and palm trees, offering natural shade and a quiet atmosphere. The shoreline is a mix of sand and lava rock, with tide pools along the edges. You might spot Hawaiian green sea turtles resting on the beach or grazing on the rocks . The water near shore is calm, making it easy to wade in or paddle out. If you’re looking for a relaxed beach with a local feel and a good spot to learn to surf, Puaʻena Point is worth a visit.

This was so fun! I was scared but the crew makes you feel so safe. The crew was so fun! The best experience!
This was an AWESOME experience! This is a snorkeling trip, not a scuba dive trip. Experience with snorkeling will be helpful, but not required. The Boat ride was a little rough so if you are not used to rough water, bring your anti-nausea medication or sea-bands. The guides were very knowledgeable about the sharks and were great in helping us get the most out of the experience. I think we only saw Galapagos sharks, but they say you have the potential to see other species like Tiger, Hammerhead and others. NOTE: You cannot take your iPhones in those water-tight cases in the water while swimming with the sharks. GoPros are allowed, however, if you want an even better experience, they have a photographer on board that will take pictures of you swimming with the sharks for $75/person. It's hard to get those cool pics if you're handling a GoPro while swimming with them. We opted to have the photographer take pics for us. Each of us got anywhere from 200-300+ pictures delivered to us. It takes the photographer about a week to process them and load them up to a Google drive, but it's worth it! If you have never done anything like this before, this is a great opportunity to be adventurous.
Truly an amazing experience seeing a shark just a few yards away. The staff was exceptional, and made the experience fun, safe, and easy to follow
Amazing experience! Crew was very helpful and seemed experienced with their jobs and with made us all feel confident getting into the water with the sharks. It was an amazing experience and we all felt so comfortable being in the water with these beautiful creatures.
Aloha Debi, thank you for taking time to leave us this review. It is very much appreciated. Our crew always gives their best effort to provide the best experience for everyone. Thank you again
Absolutely recommend!!!! Mega great team, lots of sharks on site and just awesome
Great Shark Dive 🦈 highly recommend
The crew was awesome super nice and really made the whole experience great. Awesome dive and amazing time. The crew really facilitated a fantastic and memorable trip
Don't be scared!! It was great!!! This was on my bucket list for years and finally booked it. O my gosh..I loved every minute of it..best thing I've ever done 👍🏻✅
All nervousness was completely gone after meeting the crew. They were nice and very educated! Never felt unsafe and we saw a ton of sharks, along with a whale sighting on the way out! If you’re even considering doing this, just do it. This was probably one of the coolest things I’ve ever done. The one thing to be aware of is motion sickness. Highly recommend taking some medicine for that and going in the morning. Towards the end of our excursion I started to feel a bit sick as the waves became a little stronger. But I would definitely do it all over again. So worth it!
Ricky, the shark expert was very knowledgeable and made you feel safe. Parker, the photographer, was amazing in the water and his instructions while taking the photos were always done with kindness and patience. Captain Mattie was an excellent captain and helped out whenever he wasn’t driving the boat. All around the three of them made the day outstanding!! Highly recommend hanging out with them. And, of course, the sharks (saw about 10 swimming around us) and so cool!!
