Great experience, not too much was promised - Extremely recommended excursion, great crew and you can see countless sharks swimming right under the boat. You also get enough time in the water.

Incredible and unforgettable experience - One Ocean Diving was hands down one of the most memorable experiences of my life. Liko, Hayley, Gina, and Bret were absolutely amazing—professional, knowledgeable, and passionate about what they do. They made the entire experience feel incredibly safe while also making it fun, educational, and deeply meaningful. We learned so much about sharks, marine life, and ocean conservation—and then topped it off by swimming alongside a whale shark. It was surreal. The team handled it with such respect and care, giving us the chance to witness something truly rare in a responsible, low-impact way. This isn’t just a snorkeling trip—it’s a powerful and unique opportunity to connect with the ocean. Highly recommend. Thank you to the whole team!

Life-Changing Haleʻiwa Shark Dive: Swim Safely Among 50+ Sharks with One Ocean Diving - Ready for an adventure that will change the way you see the ocean? Picture this: you arrive at Haleʻiwa Harbor under a clear sky, greeted by the One Ocean Diving booth, and after a quick hello from Kay, Faith, or Hayley, you know you’re about to experience something extraordinary. The morning kicks off with a safety briefing: groups of about 10 people, clear instructions on how to behave in the water, and a preview of the shark species we’ll encounter. Your heart races when the boat stops and, in the distance, huge shadows begin to appear. That initial anxiety melts away as you spot curious Galápagos sharks or impressive sandbars gliding beneath you. Once you enter the water, all fear disappears. For 45 minutes, I swam among over 50 sharks—sandbars, Galápagos, and then, out of nowhere, a three-meter tiger shark passed just four meters from me—an experience that blew my mind. What makes it even more powerful is knowing that 100 million sharks are killed each year for their fins and that many species are endangered. That realization turns the dive into a powerful call to protect these incredible animals. Huge thanks to Kay, Faith, Hayley, and the entire One Ocean Diving team for an unforgettable tour. **Tips for Your Haleʻiwa Shark Dive** * **Getting there**: From Waikiki, either rent a car in advance or reserve an Uber one day ahead (expect around $100 USD each way). * **After the dive**: Walk 100 m to Haleʻiwa Bowls for a delicious breakfast, then explore the area—don’t miss the famous Matsumoto Shave Ice!

Amazing experience - This totally fulfilled our expectation. We saw many sharks while feeling safe all time. The crew was great (they even waited for us because we arrived late due to car problem), they were with us in the water the whole time and one by one let us do some freedive. Truly amazing experience!

Great adventure! - Great experience! The boat was spotless and the staff was beyond amazing. Their knowledge and respect for the ocean, the sharks and sea life was impressive. It was obvious to see that safety for us and the sea life was a top priority. It was easy to tell the staff love their job and their passion for the sea life was second to none. We will certainly be recommending them in the future. If you are lucky enough to go with them consider leaving them a good tip!

Fear of Sharks? Take the first step to be free of that fear! Free dive with a OneOcean safety diver today! Life changing - In 2020 I never in a million years thought Id be able to swim (without being in a cage) with sharks. I had a polarizing fear of all sharks since going to see JAWS 2 at only 8 years old. Unfortunately, this deeply impacted my life and relationship with the ocean. BUT, thank goodness for me discovering Ocean Ramsey, her amazing safety divers, boat captains, crew and her educational pelagic shark free dive programs! IRRATIONAL FEAR NO MORE!!! It has changed my life in more than one way. Now having an educated respect of these amazing animals replaced that has replaced that fear! And, I am able to love the ocean, snorkeling, free diving, and even scuba diving! I have learned to be aware of my surroundings in the deep sea, and even when wading in shallow water. I know there are sharks everywhere and I am in their home, and I treat it as such. Since December 2020, I have now swam freely once with TIGER sharks (yes, Tiger!), and done 3 dives with more than 50 Galapagos and Sandbar Sharks. And, I’m about to embark on my 5th dive later this month!!! And, now I can’t wait to share my experience with everyone I can! Telling everyone to respect and appreciate sharks, to get educated! I try to tell them that sharks are a crucial part of our eco system and that the ocean and love as we know it needs and benefits from the shark population being healthy and many! #ILoveSharks

Amazing time with the majestic sharks! - What a fantastic experience! We had so much fun. Brian was our skilled skipper, and Drew is part human, part marine creature. Tyler was excellent. He made us feel at ease in the water and helped us approach the sharks. We saw many sharks, felt safe throughout the trip, had a good time, and got stickers at the end! I highly recommend this company.

Best day Ever - Best experience of my life! Our crew Faith, Tyler and our captain were amazing. I was swimming with sharks- without a cage, in Hawaii what more could I ask for? Thank you for letting me live my best day ever.

You won't regret this tour! Book it! - HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!! The experience and tour guides were amazing! I felt safe the whole time I was in the water. Gina was by our side the entire time. We did the photographer package as well and it was worth the money! Bret was friendly and did an amazing job! We received both pictures and videos of our experience. If we come back to Hawaii, I will do it again!
