Waikiki 2-Tank Shipwreck and Reef Boat Dive for Certified Divers

Overview

The Waikiki 2-tank wreck and reef dive from Waikiki Dive Center is a 4-hour morning boat trip for certified divers, from $169 with gear and a harbor shuttle. It suits divers aged 15 and up who want one deep wreck and one shallow reef near Waikiki. The drawback: sites are not named in advance and no cancellation policy is published.

Highlights

• From $169 per certified diver on the operator's site, with all gear included at no extra cost; Viator pricing via to-hawaii.com starts at $292.41 for 2 travelers.
• One deepwater shipwreck and one shallower coral reef on a 4-hour morning charter; VELTRA lists departures at 6:45 AM or 10:45 AM with about 2 hours on the water.
• Transport between the shop at 424 Nāhua Street in Waikiki and the departure harbor (Kewalo Basin or Maunalua Bay) is included.
• Certified divers only, ages 15 and up on the operator's site (VELTRA says 12 and up); maximum 20 passengers per boat.
• Operator-wide Google score of 4.8 from about 2,100 reviews as shown on Greetwell in October 2026.

What to Expect

1. Check in at the Waikiki Dive Center shop on Nāhua Street with a government-issued photo ID, your certification card and the credit card used to book, since the cardholder name must match the reservation.
2. Fill in the medical questionnaire and liability waiver; any yes answer requires a doctor's note before you can dive.
3. Ride the shop's shuttle to the harbor and board the boat, which carries up to 20 passengers.
4. Make the first dive on a deepwater shipwreck; 1 of the 5 reviews we read names the Sea Tiger at roughly 115 feet, which the operator's page does not confirm.
5. Make the second, shallower dive on a reef site chosen by the crew from a rotating list, weather permitting.
6. Return to the harbor about 4 hours after departure and shuttle back to the shop; do not fly for 24 hours after the second dive.
