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 summer time, however, these waters become a beautiful diving paradise! One place in particular is the Pupukea Marine Sanctuary, which extends for about a mile, and the diving is great! Being a protected area, there are rules to dive here: no fishing, no hunting, no taking. Many of the endemic species of fish and turtles are found here, and many species of nudibranch are regularly seen by our divers. The rock formation is absolutely unique, as it is a massive concentration of underwater caves, caverns, walls, overhangs, lava tubes and underwater canyons. Rare species of fish like the Titan Scorpion fish or the Hawaiian Turkey fish are often visible to see on one of our night dives.
The North Shore is truly a divers paradise.
