About this experience
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.

Itinerary and highlights
Discover Scuba Diving Experience
The Discover Scuba Diving Experience is an unforgettable introduction to the underwater world. For many guests, this is their very first time breathing underwater and it often becomes a truly life changing experience.
What to Expect
You will begin by learning basic scuba safety guidelines and essential skills directly from a certified PADI Instructor. After a short boat ride, you will enter the water and practice these skills at the surface in a calm, supportive environment with one on one guidance from your instructor.
Once everyone is comfortable and confident, it is time to go scuba diving. You will be guided by a PADI Instructor on two shallow dives through beautiful Hawaiian waters, exploring vibrant reef systems and marine life.
Between dives, enjoy a relaxing break on the boat and take in the stunning views of Oahu’s coastline, including Diamond Head, Koko Head, and the ridgeline of Hanauma Bay.
