What to expect

Divers meet at our dive shop at 6:30 AM to check in and get fitted with rental gear. We often see dolphins and whales during the crossing and always stop the boat. The captain decides where we dive based on conditions, but you will almost always dive one of the Cathedrals and another spectacular location. When we arrive at our first site we do a short briefing and then suit up and dive into the crystal clear waters of Lanai. As there are very few dive boats diving on Lanai we try to pick a site where we are the only people in the water. We do 60 minute dive, air permitting, to depths around 50 - 75 feet. After the first dive we do a short surface interval where we have a snacks or optional lunch. Then we dive again to a depth of 50 - 70 feet for up to an hour. After the dives we break down the gear, take in the stunning topside scenery, and talk about what we found on our dives as we make our way back to Mala Wharf.
