The 5 Best Night Dives

1.Certified Diver: 2-Tank Night Dive

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 61 reviews · 3 hours (approx.) · from $248Our pick

Join Dive Oahu at Kewalo Basin Harbor for a twilight and night boat trip led by PADI professionals such as Adam, Heather, Josh, Nacho, and Megan. You will use premium gear, watch the sunset during your surface interval, and look for eels, octopus, lobster, turtles, and other nocturnal sea life.

“Can’t say enough good things about this dive shop! When other divers didn’t show, instead of canceling, they took me out on essentially my own private guided dive! Both dives were great. Jordan was a great guide and I have new aquatic life to add to my list. I can’t wait to go through my videos! We got along great with Captain Adam and Kevin and the trip is definitely one we will remember.”
