What You Will Do
Kauai is famous for many things but perhaps none more than being one of the leading natural sanctuaries for the Green Sea Turtle. With a lifespan of over 100 years and sizes exceeding 5 feet in length, they are truly a sight to behold. In Kauai, the Honu seem to have embraced the Aloha spirit, frequently greeting divers with curiosity and interest. Having been protected by the endangered species act since 1979, the Hawaiian Green Sea Turtle has very little fear of the divers that visit their home. We're fairly certain they would throw you a "shaka" as they swam by, if only they had opposable thumbs.
With over 1,250 endemic species in the Hawaiian Islands, the Honu is just one of the many exciting animals you will experience on your tour. Macro photographers will be thrilled by the vast diversity of nudibranch, cowries, pipefish, and colorful crustations. Explorers will love the variety of eels, schooling blue striped snapper, perching hawk fish, and shapeshifting octopus.

Certified Scuba Dive from Shore with Sea Turtles at Koloa LandingKoloa Landing
Once checked in at the shop and you have provided your required scuba certification, equipment has been loaded, and you are introduced to your professional divemaster, guests will be transported to the Koloa Landing, Kauai's most famous shore dive site. Upon arrival, guests will be given a detailed briefing about site and shore diving procedures. Once the dive site and safety briefing is completed, it's time to get wet and check out the incredible underwater ecosystem Koloa Landing has to offer including its population of over 50 Hawaiian Green Sea Turtles. Though we can't guarantee you'll see them because they are wild animals, it's extremely rare that we don't! *Important*: This experience is for certified divers only. This experience requires participants to remain below an altitude of 1,000ft for 18 hours after their last dive. Restrictions include interisland and commercial flights, helicopter tours, skydiving, and trips to Waimea Canyon.
