"Hands down the best thing I did in Hawaii and one of the best experiences in my life! Love that this shark dive tour is so educational and more than a dive, going out with One Ocean Diving helps support so many shark conservation efforts too." -Matt Johnston

Join our team here in Hawaii on a highly educational two-hour program to learn about sharks and how to share the ocean with them safely. Ocean Ramsey, shark marine biologist, and Juan Oliphant, award-winning shark photographer and conservationist, used their 20-plus years of knowledge diving with sharks to create the first non-caged commercial shark dive in Hawaii. They have hand pick and professionally trained their shark safety divers and marine scientists to guide advanced and novice swimmers, divers, or snorkelers into the ocean with sharks in the waters off the coast of the beautiful island of O'ahu. On the way to the shark dive site, our safety divers and marine biologists will give a thorough briefing and guide you in-water during your shark swim, dive, or snorkel. While assisting and protecting you during your shark dive, the marine biologist also collects research data on each dive. At the end of the dive, the marine biologist, naturalist, and research intern will provide a breakdown of the species and behaviors seen during your dive and answer any questions you have on the way in.
This shark dive is the most professional, qualified, certified, insured, and highly trained shark dive guides in the world.
A portion of the proceeds from the shark dives goes to help fund beach clean-ups and educational outreach programs.
The data collected during the shark dive helps support the conservation and research efforts locally and abroad.
If you are a beginner snorkeler, swimmer, or advanced free diver, this is the shark dive for you. Just let the safety diver know your skill level so they can cater to your shark diving experience level. No need to be nervous; you will be diving with the best. One of the main goals of the shark dive is to empower you with all the knowledge Juan and Ocean have learned in the last 20 years diving with sharks, essentially teaching you the skills and awareness needed to be able to share the ocean with sharks safely.
We can add professional video and photography options if you want to capture and share your experience.
The #Sharkdive is an interactive research-based shark program open to the public. One of the best shark dives for inspiring marine conservation.
One Ocean Diving's primary goal is to help educate people about safety considerations for coexisting with sharks as well as teach people how important sharks are for the health of marine ecosystems and hopefully inspire people to help protect sharks worldwide.

This is much more than just a shark dive. One Ocean Diving is division of One Ocean Conservation and a part of One Ocean Global. One Ocean Diving is open to the public to facilitate an exciting and immersive program that supports the ongoing research while educating the public in a very fun way about conservation needs and efforts. One Ocean Diving is a feel good and easy way for the public to support marine conservation efforts while they have fun in a recreational activity under the safety of the most extensively trained professionals who work full time as marine animal researchers and guides.
We are passionate about helping people to better understand sharks and marine animals and we love to help people to learn how to safely interact with them in the ocean.
The One Ocean Diving pelagic program is unique to any other experience in the world! You will learn so much practical and useful information about sharks and marine animals on the quick ride in and out of the harbor so that if you were ever on your own and approached by large marine animals when you are not with one of our guides you will better know how to respond.
So come join us on one of our dives and experience it for yourself how incredible each species is! You will walk away with a new understanding and appreciation for these animals and hopefully will help spread the word to help save the ocean!

Expect to enjoy a unique, amazing, fun, and educational adventure swimming with sharks in the gorgeous blue water off Hawaii under the safety and guidance of professional marine animal researchers and experts who will share unique and useful information.
Meet at Haleiwa Harbor by the BLUE KIOSK with the ONEOCEANDIVING.com sign on top.
Be sure to be there by ten minutes prior to your booking time (departure time.)
**The boats always leave on time so please don't be late, there is a strict no-show=no-refund cancellation policy so that all charters operate in the best weather conditions and on-time for people who need to make it to work or catch a flight so we always run on-time. Please leave time for parking and just in case of traffic. There are good cafes and shops if you get to Haleiwa town early.
You will be welcomed onboard one of our research vessels that will drive over and tie up at the loading area next to the big white fish scale scaffolding ten minutes prior to departure. If its departure time and you are waiting at the kiosk walk over and ask the boat closest to the blue One Ocean Diving Kiosk where the One Ocean Diving Boat loads.
The captain will go over safety information and help fit you for a pair of fins. On the way out to the dive sites your in-water shark safety guide and marine animal expert will explain everything you want to know about what to do, and what not to do, while you're in the water. The biologist will cover an overview of our research, some information about our traditional Hawaiian culture that ties into the Ocean, as well as the modern science, biology, physiology, social behavior, and how all of that relates to things that you can do to have a healthy and respectful interaction. The information shared is also helpful in case you encounter large marine animals when you're on your own after the program and we are happy to say the information we share has helped people outside of the program to avoid adverse interactions, so its great information and a great program for anyone, even if you don't think you want to go in the ocean.
Want to swim with sharks? Come out with One Ocean Diving to learn safety tips, biology, physiology, and behavior and gain incredible first hand experience swimming with sharks.
Some people sign up just to go on the boat to learn about sharks and marine life and the on-going research, the program is very educational and you can see the animals from the surface so we encourage people to bring friends that might be scared or nervous, most people who say they are "just going out to watch from the surface and learn the information" end up getting in the water after seeing how much fun other people are having. If you're planning to do the full program like most people you can rest assured that the bologist will be the first person in the water and the last person out. All of the guides are extensively trained by the most experienced people in the world for working in-water with sharks and large Marine Animals. Your in-water guide and researching biologist will immediately get in the water and you can join them to experience first hand how beautiful and amazing the ocean really is. For your comfort there are lines with floats draping along the side of the boat with the ladder, you are welcome to hold on to the lines the entire time although your guide will invite you off to swim and or freedive down however we respect your comfort and swim ability and encourage you to relax and hold on to the lines if you would prefer not to swim around. You are always welcome to get out and take a break or if you want to try a different mask, snorkel, fins, or simply have a question the Captain will be on board at all times to assist you while your other crew safety you in the water. On the way back in your guides will share information and research variables specific to your dive as well as conservation information, our efforts, ways you can get involved and they will answer any questions you have while also looking for other marine life such as dolphins, whales, and sea turtles on the drive back in (**. We unfortunately cannot guarantee you will see whales, dolphins, sea turtles, every tip but we do see something every trip etc.) We believe you will walk away with a new found respect for the ocean and will want to #savetheocean for future generations!

The best time to see a tiger shark is now through November here in Hawaii. The best chances are to book charters for early mornings and pick the light wind days. Not to worry if you don't see the tiger shark on a dive because the Galapagos and sandbar sharks are still amazing and must see.
There's much to see here. So, take your time, look around, and learn all there is to know about us. We hope you enjoy our site and text us anytime with any questions. +1-808-649-0018
Send us a message with any comments, questions, or scheduling concerns. We will get back to you soon!
