Perfection! - My husband has wanted to swim with sharks since he was a kid. Last week OneOcean Diving helped make that a reality! We couldn’t have asked for a better first experience. On the way to the site, the team educated us about shark conservation and prepared us for a safe experience. We saw multiple species and were able to identify the behavior that we had just been taught. It was incredible! We hope to return some day for a repeat experience.

Absolutely amazing! - This was hands down one of the most incredible things I've experienced. I have always had a love for sharks and this really surpassed any of my expectations. We were very lucky the day we went out as there were about 8 or 9 Tiger sharks along with some others. Drew, Haley and the entire crew were great, everyone was very friendly they gave us lots of information along with making everyone feel comfortable and safe on this amazing adventure. Another thing that was clearly evident was that even though they may get paid to do this, this is not just a job to them, you can tell they love and respect the ocean. When I first read how much the photo package was, I'll be honest I thought it was a bit to expensive but we decided to do it anyway and I am so glad we did, I definitely recommend paying the extra money...with an experience like this you will want to have every possible way to relive and remember it. I would highly recommend One Ocean Diving and fully intend be doing this again next time I am in Hawaii.

Best Shark Dive in Hawaii - For sure one of the best experiences of my life, and it should be on everyone’s Must Do list in Hawaii. I’ve booked many dives with them because swimming with sharks is always such a blessing, and the crew is incredible. They make you feel safe, so you can be in the moment enjoying the presence of beautiful sharks. I always have an unforgettable experience and a great time with them. Gina is my favorite safety diver, I always request to go on the same boat as her. Thank you so much One Ocean for giving everyone an opportunity to swim with the sharks, and for providing excellent customer service. You make many dreams come true. I’m so grateful for such an amazing team, and for everything you do to protect the sharks!

Still have all 10 fingers and 10 toes - Tour guides were very good at pointing out and giving you the best view of the sharks, and getting you close to them , but not too close as to upset or annoy the sharks, would definitely recommend,

Awesome dive with One Ocean! Saw 6 Tiger Sharks on my second dive. Drew and Faith are great! - I had been wanting to do a dive with One Ocean for a few years and it didn't disappoint! I signed up for two dives because I really wanted to see a Tiger Shark. My first dive was great, we saw several Galapagos Sharks and at the very end a shy Tiger made a brief appearance. My second dive a few days later was truly magical. 6 Tigers came around and were with us basically the whole time we were in the water. It was truly unreal to be around them and I'm so happy with how it went. Both times I was with Drew and Faith and they were great. They're super engaging and ensured everyone was safe and had a great time. My second dive they were definitely more active maintaining a safe space but at no point did I feel any concern or danger, I was just thrilled the whole time. I also signed up for the photo and gopro footage package. While I had my gopro, the footage Faith and Drew got was insane. Overall 12/10 experience, can't recommend it enough. Can't guarantee you'll see 6 Tigers but both dives were great and Drew and Faith were great!

Thank you One Ocean Diving - I had an unforgettable and time of my dreams experience diving with multiple tiger sharks.  Captain Liko and safety divers Mariah and Hayley were all professional and amazing. They helped all the guests who still had uncertainties about sharks into the water for an unforgettable experience. They really lived up to their mission about promoting shark conservation and turning fear of sharks to love of sharks. Mahalo One Ocean Diving
