Although people often come to Oahu to enjoy its excellent, dining, shopping, and entertainment attractions, as well as the island’s beautiful beaches, many don’t realize how great the island is for diving. Along with the rest of the Hawaiian Islands, there are many beautiful and interesting dive sites that are appropriate for divers of all skill levels. There are also many dive tours and dive instructors that will take you around the island in groups to explore many of the island’s amazing dive sites.

One of the popular dive sites on Oahu is the Corsair Wreck and China Wall Drift. This 110 foot dive is home to an old World War II plane engine, as well as a sea of garden eels. Also nearby is an area known as the “Spitting Caves,” where divers can find numerous caves and crevices to explore. Another popular site is the Baby Barge and Fantasy Reef, which is an extremely popular destination to find white tip reef sharks. Angler’s Reef and Koko Craters is another beautiful dive site where you can explore plenty of reefs filled with fish and other tropical wildlife, as well as sea turtles. Divers should also explore Palea Point and Witches Brew Drift, which is mostly for professional divers, because it is home to the rare Dragon eel. Another popular dive site is the LST wreck, Tire Reef Drift, and the Sea Cave, which offer plenty of wildlife found throughout the beautiful reefs. Sea turtles and white tip sharks can also be found there.
