Hawaiian Diving Adventures
Hawaiian Diving Adventures employs safe, friendly, and fun dive professionals. We are specially trained to provide our guests with the ultimate scuba experience. All our boat captains are Coast Guard licensed and very experienced with taking scuba divers to the best dive sites around Oahu. Our divemasters and instructors are experts at finding and pointing out elusive octopuses, nudibranchs, frogfish, and other well-hidden marine life on the nearby coral reefs.

INSTRUCTORS

What can we say about Evan that hasn’t already been said? He’s been an international fashionista for the last 12 years and has been written up in magazines from Paris to Hong Kong. In an effort to escape his fame, he spends most of his time wearing a dive mask and teaching Basic Scuba Divers how to dive. We are not even allowed publish a photo of his face.

Tank Crew
The tank crew at Hawaiian Diving Adventures are experts in safely filling and delivering air cylinders to the harbor. Every day they fill and deliver at least a few dozen to several hundred tanks both for our boat and for the other dive companies using our commercial air fill service. Every day these hard-working guys and girls start early so that dozens and dozens of Oahu scuba divers can breathe fresh, clean air from nice full dive tanks. And yes, they are also scuba divers!
