Our Review: Dive Oahu
Dive Oahu is a Honolulu-based dive operation that punches well above its weight. With 13 tours and an average quality score of 83.8/100, they cover everything from first-timer reef snorkels to advanced wreck penetration dives.
Their top-rated experience is the Wreck & Reef Tour — a perfect 100/100. This two-tank dive hits both an artificial reef wreck and a natural coral system in a single outing. The wrecks off Oahu's south shore, including the Sea Tiger and YO-257, sit at accessible depths and attract massive schools of fish, moray eels, and the occasional whitetip reef shark. Even experienced divers who've logged hundreds of dives elsewhere come back impressed.
The Shallow Reefs Tour (99/100) is their best option for newer certified divers. Depths stay manageable, the marine life is abundant, and the guides are patient with divers who haven't been underwater in a while.
Night Dives (97/100) are the sleeper hit. Oahu's reefs transform after dark — octopuses hunt, sleeping parrotfish glow in your light, and the reef comes alive in ways the daytime crowd never sees. If you're certified and have never done a night dive, this is the place to try it.
Beyond diving, they run a surprisingly popular Waikiki Coast Cruise — BYOB (85/100). Bring your own drinks, cruise the coastline, and watch the sunset. It's a different business model than their dive trips, but it works.
Who This Operator Is Best For
Certified divers who want a real dive operator — not a resort "discover scuba" program. Especially strong for wreck diving and night dives. Non-divers in the group can join the BYOB cruise instead.

Heavy rain from the past day is clearing out tonight. You'll see scattered showers Friday morning—lighter and less frequent than what came through—then dry trade winds move in and stick around through at least the middle of next week.
Windward and upland areas will still catch occasional brief showers even as things dry out, but leeward sides turn partly cloudy to mostly clear. Moderate surf holds on south, north, and west-facing beaches through the weekend, close to warning strength. Winds stay gusty through Friday as the system pulls away, then ease once the trades lock in.
Beach days and snorkeling on leeward shores start looking good Saturday. Summit trips and exposed hikes are best waited until winds ease this weekend.

Heavy rain from the past 24 hours is ending tonight. You'll catch scattered showers through Friday morning—lighter and thinner than what just passed. Trade winds take over after Friday and hold steady through the middle of next week, bringing drier conditions and partly cloudy to mostly clear skies on the leeward side.
Windward areas will still see brief showers even as things dry out. Moderate surf hits south, north, and west-facing beaches through the weekend, close to warning levels on the south shore but not quite there. Gusty winds persist tonight and Friday, especially near mountains and exposed coasts, then ease once the trades settle.
Leeward beaches and snorkeling spots turn prime starting Saturday. Save the summit drive and ridge hikes for when winds ease this weekend.
