A must do if you dare!! - This was on the top of my brother’s list for his visit to Hawaii. I’ve gone on cage dives with other visitors but he was the first to want to experience sharks 🦈 cage free and I was game. Did not disappoint. First of all the staff was extremely competent and friendly. Which just added to the experience. Just a short ride out to the dive location during which we received the safety instructions. Very easy to understand and execute if needed. Felt safe in the water entire time with Hailey. Plenty of opportunities to free dive 10 - 15’ down closer to the sharks. Really just a tranquil majestic experience. Not a hint of terror or being scared. 100% recommend cage free over cage shark dive. And absolutely recommend one ocean diving and crew of Liko, Hailey and Faith. My brother said he’d actually repeat the experience on next visit to Oahu. And I will definitely be recommending for my future guests as a must do.

Great Experience snorkeling with sharks. - Absoutely one of the best experiences. The entire crew were amazing. Fully focused on ensuring every guest has a safe and amazing experience in the water with sharks. Cage free. The experience is 1000% safe. The professional team ensure everyone is safe and comfortable throughout. Even the two young boys from Vancouver had a great time. Gina and the entire crew are amazing. So much fun and excitement. It is clear that they love their jobs with passion for conservation and education. This was our second experience and would do it again and again. Highly recommend.

Shark Free Diving - 11/2025 Shark Dive with One Ocean Diving was AMAZING! Gina, Tyler and Ethan were great guides and photographer! A beautiful day and lots of sharks to view. Free diving opportunities go down deep or stay with the safety line. Never felt any tense moments. Sharks were in their own element and easily allowed viewing while not touching or getting too close. These are beautiful beasts of the ocean and set so much better and safety. The dive was perfect and memorable. A day to remember forever and cannot wait to dive again one day with these beautiful creatures of the sea.

Most incredible experience - Brian, Andrew and Kaitlin were great!!!! We saw dolphins on the way to, and from, the dive site. Andrew was super patient with us in the water, guiding us to get the best photos. We are anxiously awaiting the photos!! The staff was super friendly and knowledgeable and taught us about saving the sharks. Would absolutely recommend and go again.

Amazing with a few caveats - Heres the deal...Swimming with sharks is a crazy phenomenon and a bucket list experience. So an A++ for that. The BAD...let me just give a word of warning to all you atheists and agnostics. You WILL be forced to believe in the God of Christianity or bare minimum a higher power. You WILL say the Jesus Prayer (Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, Have Mercy on me a sinner). Why???? (One may ask). Probably because you will feel the most sickly, miserable, and depressed from the sea sickness of your entire life. The SEA SICKNESS IS UNBEARABLE. PLEASE DO NOT DISREGARD THIS. But Insanely cool tour and I highly recommend for all, just take Dramamine. Enjoy!
