West Side

Shore Dives:

Electric Beach

Come realize that fish have personalities on the West side of Oahu at Kahe Point. Locally it is known as "Electric Beach" because it is across the street from a power plant. The plant runs a large tube under the road and into the ocean to cool itself. It pumps out warm water, giving the sea life a roller coaster of sorts. Swim with our expert staff to the end of the duct and watch turtles and all sorts of aquatic life swim into the pipe and tumble out again, only to swim back again for another ride. Sometimes I swear they are smiling! 31ft max depth.

Boat Dives:

29 Down

The newest addition to the Westside is the plane fuselage from the TV show "29 Down". Situated between two beautiful reef systems, the plane rests at 75ft.

Airplane Canyons

An old Beechcraft airplane sits at 98ft with a myriad of life in and around the wreck. Octopus, Whitemouth Morays, and Devil Scorpionfish have been found on this wreck. But the bang for your buck on this dive is the canyon walls surrounding the wreck. Many nooks and crannies provide a huge selection of marine life from schools of Porcupinefish, to lobsters to Spanish Dancers. More no-deco time can be earned on this site by exploring the walls and tops of the canyon, where it gets as shallow as 60ft. 98ft max depth.

Landing Craft Unit

This deep wreck site maxes out at 80ft, cut gets as shallow as 60ft. The Landing Craft Unit displays a great selection of marine life, but the reef located 50ft off the bow of the wreck provides a fantastic example of a thriving marine eco-system.

Land of Oz

This cool shallow site named for the quirky Australian who sliced golf balls off his porch into the dive site- provides a great dive with small swim throughs, extensive canyons and solid reef systems. This site is max 65ft and is great for multilevel diving.

Mahi

The Mahi is located on the West side of Oahu about a half mile offshore . She was built as a minesweeper, but instead was used by the Navy to lay cable in the Bahamas. Her final years afloat were spent as a research vessel. Considered one of the top five wreck dives in the U.S., the Mahi was sunk in 1982 as an artificial reef. She was blown 90 degrees from her original bearing by Hurricane Iwa and subsequent storms have collapsed her main penetration corridor. A large school of Porcupine Puffer fish are usually mid-water facing into the current beside the ship's mast. The wheelhouse (60 feet) affords a fantastic photo opportunity...

Makaha Caverns

Also on the West side by boat are the Makaha Caverns. Six hundred yards off the world famous Makaha Beach, there are many easily penetrated caverns and rock formations to swim through. One can see a variety of sea life on this dive from Green Sea Turtles to the Hawaiian Monk seal! This is the best cavern dive during the winter months, when Pupukea is undoable due to the famous surf. Arranged like a fortress with moorings within and outside its walls, Makaha Caverns is a tremendous site to explore. Spacious lava tubes, extensive reefs, and cool topography create a fantastic dive. Turtles, Whitetip Reef Sharks, Juvenile Frogfish,...

Stars

Shallow reef dive, ranging from 30ft to a max depth of 60ft. A great dive with beautiful topography, lava tubes, arches, and underwater trails to follow. Wonderful little critters have been found here: Tiger Cowries, Octopus, Green Sea Turtles, and even a Hawaiian Stingray.
