Shark cage adventure! - Our first booking was cancelled due to bad weather, but we were rescheduled for a date that worked for us. This was my third time going out and my son‘s second time with this company. It was a great experience. There were about five Galapagos sharks, swimming around the cage. The crew is very helpful and informative. My son was seasick which caused him to be a little embarrassed, but the crew is very helpful and kind to him all in all. This was a great experience, and I fully recommended to anybody who is visiting Oahu.

Shark cage adventure! - We had an amazing time swimming with the sharks! We had about 10 Galapagos sharks circling around our cage!
We were lucky enough to also see a pod of humpback whales which was very cool!
Be sure to bring your go pro camera to catch the action.
Great guides. Very friendly and they make sure everyone is safe.
Definitely a once in a lifetime type of experience!
This is the crew to go with!

Very worth it! - I have a huge fear of sharks, so at first I was about to faint haha but the instructors were very friendly and told us the galapagos sharks are harmless. Once I got in the cage, which the water wasn’t too cold, the rest was an amazing experience! The sharks are beautiful species, worh doing this 100%

WONT REFUND AND TRIPADVISOR IT TERRIBLE!!! DONT NOT WASTE YOUR TIME! PICK THE NEXT ONE!!! - STOLE MY MONEY! I left this because we didn't get to go. I drove across the island and they called 10 mins before the dive to tell us the water was to murky. Maybe that's not all the companies fault. But because I bought the ticket from stupid TripAdvisor! They won't give me back my money! I keep asks for a reset password email and the site refuses to send me one! And they will not contact you back. THE SHARK COMPANY DOESN'T CARE AND WAS RUDE ABOUT IT! THANKS TRIPADVISOR AND OAHU shark diving for the experience! THEY KEEP ASKING ME TO RATE THE TRIP! SO HERE WAS MY GOOD TIME. GIVE ME MY MONEY BACK. WASTE OF 300 DOLLARS
