Hawaii offers many awsome underwater experiences for all scuba divers, no matter what their educational level. Many organized Hawaiian scuba dives are created specifically to experience a particular life form. These dives include shark adventures and night diving with sting rays.

Life forms encountered while diving off Hawaii’s many islands provide opportunities to see a multitude of aquatic life forms, but turtles are the most plentiful, particularly the green sea turtle. Turtles can be encountered at shallow depths, from surface to fifty feet, as can the majority of other animals.

Sharks, mostly the docile white-tipped reef shark, are common in Hawaii, but beware the highly agressive tiger shark, who may also make an appearance! Fortunately, many divers will never see sharks and most shark encounters are completely harmless, although fun and exciting.

Other forms of life to see in Hawaiian waters include monk seals, octopus, dolphins, several types of eels, and a wide assortment of fish. Some of the most popular are the many and varied angelfish species.

Between the months of December and May, majestic humpback whales make the Hawaiian Islands home. Mating and giving birth may occur during their stay. Sting rays, manta rays and spotted eagle rays are an exciting life form to be viewed in Hawaii, year-round.
