Need a few beginner dives on Oahu and Maui

[Busdiver]

Only one person to contact when diving the Honolulu area, give Gabe at Kaimana Divers a ring. You and your crew will be more then happy with his service. PM, he commented on this thread--scottitheduck. Diving the north shore contact Gabe or Scuba Drew--he can even video tape your whole dive experience.

I also would like to know about good Oahu dive sites for beginners! My instructor in NY told me lava tubes are cool...where can I find those?

 

[scottitheduck]

Lava tubes are on the North Shore and can be tricky to access this time of year. Great diving on the South Shore for turtles though..... have fun!

Beginner lava tube diving off Oahu in Feb is pretty limited.

On the West Side, Makaha Caverns is a double lava tube in a V shape, and there are other overhead structures at Stars &/or Oz. There are also cavern/overhangs to peer into at Black Rock and Airplane Canyon, but those are deeper sites.

Out of Hawaii Kai there are caverns to check out along China Wall if I remember correctly.

Summer is the better lava tube / cavern diving off Oahu in my opinion, off the North Shore.
