THE NORTH SHORE OF OAHU IS TRULY A DIVERS PARADISE.
During the winter months, the North Shore of Oahu is the Mecca of surfing in the world, as huge waves surge through the Pacific Ocean and break high on the reef. In the summertime, however, these waters become a beautiful diving paradise, especially within the Pupukea Marine Sanctuary. Being a protected area, there are rules to dive here: no fishing, no boating, no taking. The rock formations are incredibly unique,consisting of massive concentration of underwater caves, caverns, walls, overhangs, and lava tubes.

So many of Hawaii’s native and endemic species can be found here. The area is home to reef fish, turtles, eels, octopi, white tipped sharks, nudibranchs, squid, rays, and more. Yes, that’s a lot of animals. Yes, it is amazing. The topography is also astounding, with volcanic rock formations creating caves, walls, ledges, caverns, and swim throughs.
