About this tour

Slip beneath the turquoise waters of Southern Oahu on a guided scuba adventure designed for certified divers. With a PADI-certified instructor and gear provided, you can focus on the reefs and the marine life moving through them.

The three-hour outing includes two guided dives at shallow reef sites, which may include Kaiser's and Turtle Canyons. Volcanic reef formations create a striking underwater landscape, while tropical wildlife brings color and movement to each dive. Keep an eye out for Hawaiian green sea turtles and other marine life as you explore these popular local sites.

Oahu shallow reef scuba diving pairs time underwater with the support of an experienced instructor, plus snacks and refreshments on board. Bring proof of certification, arrive 30 minutes early for waivers and equipment fitting, and remember that you must be able to swim and understand verbal English.

How this score is calculated

This score is based on one provider. GetYourGuide rates it 5.00 from 12 reviews. We place that rating among all GetYourGuide ratings and weight it by its review count. If the tour is found on another provider later, both ratings are combined.

How the score works and rating distribution in Oahu
  • Each provider rating is turned into a percentile: the share of that provider's ratings it beats, weighted by review counts.
  • Listings on different providers are combined in proportion to their review counts.
  • Tours with few reviews are pulled toward the average until more reviews come in, so a handful of perfect reviews can't top the list.
  • The result is shown from 0 to 10: this tour scores 7.7. Top 23% in Oahu means it ranks in the top 23% of tours in Oahu by this score.
