We saw the Tiger shark Killowaya!

Amazing experience. The crew was awesome, super dialed‑in on safety, and you can tell they care about the sharks. Being in the water with Galapagos and sandbar sharks was already insane, but when Killowaya the tiger shark showed up, the whole dive went next‑level. Seeing a tiger shark up close with no cage is something I’ll never forget. If you’re in Oahu, do this, it’s worth every second.

Alex was great for first timers!

Had a great time with Alex! Small group and he was able to make my son feel at ease his first time ever scuba diving. Great time, and although I'm full qualified open water, I'd go here again in the Magic Island Lagoon just for the ease of the experience.

Great experience

Our tour guides where really cool and knowledgeable. On the ride out there was some wind and waves nothing too bad. Just not a bad idea to take nausea medication before hand !! Lots of sharks and it was amazing. In the cage you need to really hold on the the bar so you dont get hit against the cage.

First time swimming with sharks. To be so close to a tiger shark !! 3x for me🫠🫠 absolutely awe inspiring

Gina, Brian and Taylor took us (a crew of about 6-7 people?) out during the 9AM slot today and it was truly an awe inspiring experience. It was my first time getting in water with sharks and as we arrived , the tiger sharks like the apex predators they are were quick to meet us there. Seeing their bodies near the surface of the water , it really struck me then and there that the hour had finally arrived, and I was to actually have to get in the water. LOL. I was pretty nervous, but not having to be the first one in the water (I was the 5th person in), and being a strong swimmer, I held onto the rope on the side of the boat and managed the current. It was so thrilling. My adrenaline was a bit high. Especially when the tiger shark gets close. It is so big o_o Gina and Taylor were so competent in managing us and worked so hard to get us the best photos and videos, I am grateful to have been able to be in such great and comforting leadership. The black tips were also so cool to see. Wow. Truly an awe inspiring experience. Wishing the crew all the best. So grateful. So blessed. Thank you, thank you !!!

Captain Carlos, Cameron,...

Captain Carlos, Cameron, Des and Kaitlyn were awsome. They were fun, and also made safety a first priority. Very catering to needs when a passenger had question or was not feeling well. They made sure we got to see the turtles and fish while keeping us a safe distance to our two life guards. The sail after was amazing with great views of the shoreline. Would definitely book them again.

Great Submarine Experience!

We were concerned about the size of the sub and how close we would be, but booking the 9am spot provided us with plenty of room. We enjoyed a short 10 minute boat ride to the sub. Both the sub & the boat were very clean. The staff was very friendly and helpful. Our tour guide made the experience fun & enjoyable. Plenty of marine life to view. We even saw 2 sharks and a sea turtle. Would highly recommend and worth the money!

Must do experience with this conpany

Outstanding experience with Ocean Outfitters on the North Shore! We did the open-water shark swim, and I cannot thank the crew enough for how well they took care of my 5-year-old son in the water. They were patient, extremely attentive, and made sure he felt completely safe and happy the entire time. Their incredible care completely eased my mind and turned a thrilling dive into a perfect family memory. Highly recommend!

An Unforgettable Snorkeling Adventure with an Amazing Crew!

This was such a memorable experience! The scenery was absolutely breathtaking, and getting to watch dolphins in the wild and see a sea turtle living its best life was incredible. The crew made the day even more special. They were fun, friendly, and genuinely cared about everyone on board. I especially want to thank Captain Ben, Ingrid, Kainoa, Kiara, and Kyoka. My oldest son is autistic (high functioning), and they were so attentive, patient, and thoughtful. They made sure he was comfortable and enjoying himself throughout the trip. As a parent, that meant the world to me. A huge mahalo to all of you for your kindness and compassion! Ingrid was also incredibly knowledgeable about the island and shared so many interesting facts that made the experience even better. I also highly recommend purchasing the photo package. I'm so glad I did! Kiara captured so many beautiful photos, allowing me to stay present and enjoy the adventure while knowing those special moments were being preserved. This was truly one of the highlights of our Hawaii vacation, and I would absolutely do it again. Highly recommend! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
