Turtles! Turtles! Turtles! We visit popular turtle-cleaning stations. What is a turtle-clean station? It says exactly what it says! Turtles visit these specific reefs to have smaller fish 'clean' their shells for them. It is almost like a turtle car wash! These turtle cleaning stations are a great spot to see a turtle while you scuba dive! Your instructors will guide you along two lively Hawaiian shallow reefs. As you glide along, soaking in the clear blue waters, your instructor will point out sea creatures big and small, like monk seals, turtles, dolphins, fish, nudibranch, and much more, as you continue your scuba tour. Scuba divers will see amazing colorful reef fish (many of which are endemic to Hawaii, meaning they can only be found in Hawaiian waters) and lovely coral.

First Dive Magic in Waikīkī 🐢

An unforgettable first dive in Waikīkī! I went with my adult son and couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Our Dive Master, Amee, was incredible—patient, clear, and a fantastic teacher, while also keeping it fun the entire time. The crew was top-notch, the dive site was perfectly chosen, and the highlight… THE SEA TURTLES—absolutely wow. Highly recommend for anyone looking to try scuba for the first time!

Great experience for the...

Great experience for the two tank shallow reef dives. Really enjoyed the whole crew. Everything was set up by the crew so it was literally just walk on the boat and then throw your gear on a minute before you jump in. They changed tanks and did all the clean up- no need to lug anything anywhere. Would love to dive with them again next time I’m in Oahu. Thanks Nacho!

Luckily, I was able to visit both the Sea Tiger and the Shallow Pipe in great weather. I want to thank Nacho, Matt, and Ella for doing their best to make our dives safe and comfortable. If I come back to Hawaii again, I’d love to dive together once more!

Randy was amazing and so were the dives

While Randy does discovery diving he does certified divers too. We had 3 certified divers who wanted to dive near Ko’Olina. We found Randy and so glad we did. He catered to our needs and desires and was a great dm. Would absolutely dive with him again. And electric beach turtle washing station……. Such love for that place - the Buddha….. eh skip that one but turtle washing station twice is not bad !

Best experience in Hawaii. Ask for instructor Olga, not only was she very knowledgeable, she was constantly checking on equipment to make sure I was comfortable. We were able to swim with sea turtles and other rare fish. Would recommend to anyone visiting Hawaii and will definitely be booking again.

Highly professional and great gear

This was my first time diving in Hawaii and also my first night dive. Capt. Adam aboard the Stress Relief along with Jeff, Heather and Chris were our dive guides and did a fantastic job keeping us safe, helping where needed underwater and pointing out interesting marine life. Our first dive was at the Sea Tiger wreck before sunset. We saw eels, urchin and tons of fish. The second dive was after sunset at Kewalo Pipe and we saw a unicorn fish and a slipper lobster. Great experience all around. Great people. Great ScubaPro gear. Highly recommended.
