An amazing shark dive - The experience was amazing! The people serving us were even better! Some of the best people are there in Hawaii. They were friendly, supportive, and helped my wife to overcome her anxiety over being an open water with the shark

surreal experience - this was one of the most thrilling things I have ever done. I loved that it was a small group experience (rather than 10+ people like other companies), it was super intimate and we all had great time & shots with the sharks. this team also loves the water and the animals, you can tell by their passion and care. 10/10 recommend, will 100% be back!!

1000000/10, would recommend - Hawaii Adventure Diving gave us the best experience of our lives! Captain Ro was awesome and the safety divers — Sammy, Nick, and Meg — were truly incredible and kept everyone safe and comfortable, while still allowing for really cool shark encounters! We’ve actually gone diving with them once in December 2023 and again in June 2025 and I know we’ll go back again. We’ve been out with other tour operators in the area, but trust me — Hawaii Adventure Diving is the one to choose every time.

Came to O’ahu just for this shark dive experience! - Incredible and safe experience with the crew of Hawaii Adventure Diving. They did a great job of explaining the behaviors of the shark, why the sharks are in the area and how to stay safe in the water. The professional photographer on board was amazing and we can’t wait to see the pictures. What an honor to be able to dive with such incredible creatures in their natural habitat while learning about the conservation of the shark population.

Shark dive - This was a really cool experience and I’m glad I was able to participate in it. We got to see a tiger shark which was cool. The photos were processed in a timely manner. I recommend you get the photo package. Parking wasn’t hard either for the place.

15/10 - Shark diving with Hawaii Adventure Diving was the highlight of our Oahu trip! Terry and the crew were fantastic—knowledgeable, professional, and super chill. Being in the open ocean with Galapagos sharks was both thrilling and peaceful. No cage, just an unforgettable, respectful encounter. Highly recommend this experience!

Pure and awesome experience with HawaiiAdventureDiving - I had a great first time shark experience with Hawaii adventure diving. No cage just you and nature !! I booked two days in advance and the flexibility of the team on the phone was much appreciated! I added after some thoughts the photographer “Snappy Samy “ wich was pretty easy even after my original booking. All via phone. I can just suggest to get her pictures. It gave my encounter a colourful memory. Really good pictures and awesome person who knows her job through experience and passion. I took the 7am tour and it was the best experience ever. The crew was nice and explained everything in a calm and clear way. Once we went in the water we were lucky that a group of 10-12 sharks gathered around us. I felt safe and relaxed all time around. Definitely gave me the taste for sharks and for more kind of those experiences! Thanks to the team I can really recommend!

Best shark diving tour in hawaii - This was one of the most unforgettable and empowering experiences of my life. Annika, our safety instructor, made me feel completely at ease with her calm, confident presence, and Terry captured every incredible moment with his unbelievable photography skills. Being in open water with sharks was surreal, and the photos Terry took are honestly magazine-worthy. I’d recommend this company in a heartbeat—they’re professional, passionate, and made me feel safe and inspired from start to finish. Best thing I have done in hawaii 100 percent !
