One Ocean Diving

"📌 To Book: https://viator.tp.st/A9CtXQx6 Just trust me on this one. DO IT! I remember booking this and thinking "how stupid am I to willingly put myself in open water with sharks", but I'm so happy I followed through with it! This company is run by marine biologist who study shark behavior and are very knowledgable, so I felt that I was in good hands from the beginning. Here's what you can expect: A boat will take you about 20 minutes out to their typical spot. They'll rev the boat engine a few times and the sharks will swim to the top of the water where you can see them for the first time! It's important to note that they are not chumming the waters, and are only using the engine to create curiosity in the sharks to swim up. The guides will prepare you with a rash guard and snorkel gear, and will split the group up with guides on either side of the boat where you will hold on to a rope. The guide will take each person one by one where they will let you swim down and record you if the sharks behavior allows. The guide will signal when it is time to swap out with another attendee. You'll be in the water for about 30 minutes, but are welcome to get out at any point. The boat will occasionally rev the engine to encourage the sharks to swim towards the surface, which is the most unreal feeling and sight! I remember seeing the sharks swim from the crystal clear depths into visibility, and there being at least 50 of them! The best way I can describe it is by saying that they looked like "curious water puppies" and I never felt scared like I assumed I would. The crazy thing is that there were repeat attendees on our tour who said the amount of sharks we were seeing weren't even a lot compared to when they went. Needless to say, you can't come to O'ahu and not do this. Please trust me on this one, I encourage you to step outside of your comfort zone!
