Certified divers board the custom-built boat Hoku, which crosses the channel to Lanai in about one hour. The total trip lasts approximately six hours. The captain selects dive sites daily based on ocean conditions, usually including the Cathedrals area known for its caverns, lava shoots, swim-throughs, and arches formed by ancient lava flows. Groups are limited to 14 divers to allow instructors to provide individual guidance during the two dives. Water and snacks are provided on board. SCUBA equipment is available to rent but not included in the tour price. All participants must be certified divers (Open Water or higher), have dived within the previous 18 months, be at least 14 years old, and not be pregnant.
Divers meet at our dive shop at 6:30 AM to check in and get fitted with rental gear. We often see dolphins and whales during the crossing and always stop the boat. The captain decides where we dive based on conditions, but you will almost always dive one of the Cathedrals and another spectacular location. When we arrive at our first site we do a short briefing and then suit up and dive into the crystal clear waters of Lanai. As there are very few dive boats diving on Lanai we try to pick a site where we are the only people in the water. We do 60 minute dive, air permitting, to depths around 50 - 75 feet. After the first dive we do a short surface interval where we have a snacks or optional lunch. Then we dive again to a depth of 50 - 70 feet for up to an hour. After the dives we break down the gear, take in the stunning topside scenery, and talk about what we found on our dives as we make our way back to Mala Wharf.
