BEST EXPERIENCE EVER!!!! - My daughter and I loved this experience so much, we went back for a second dive! I had a huge fear of sharks before going, but Faith, Mariah and Kevin made it educational and calming! I highly recommend doing this on your trip to Oahu! Swimming with the sharks has become my all time favorite thing! Don’t miss out!

Just do it. - Was outstanding. From scheduling the trip and easy text messaging communication to getting off the boat- it was a 10/10. We saw 4 different types of sharks! Black tip, Galapagos, Sand and Tiger - one of which was pregnant! Staff was knowledgeable and encouraging. The groups are small. One-by-one we got into the water and held on to a rope on the side of the boat and looked all around with the snorkel gear. Then, one by one, Gina, our guide, invited people into the open water to dive under - in our group people got to do individual dives at least 3 times. For those timid to do the open water dive, she was perfect- offering to hold a hand. We did the go-pro video and that was terrific.

Book this! You will not regret it. And try to get Faith and Matt - I cannot say enough about our experience with One Ocean Diving! My family and I were nervous about swimming with sharks and it was one of the best experiences of my life. The team is simply incredible! They make you feel so comfortable in the water and the only regret you will have not having second tour booked immediately following your first. In particular, Faith was the absolute best! She has a passion that is infectious, she is knowledgable and shares that knowledge in a way that makes you even more curious about sharks and the environment, and totally transforms your perception of sharks. Matt and the rest of the team were equally amazing and made our experience an unforgettable one. Matt went out of his way to make sure everyone enjoyed the experience to the fullest. Anyone going to Oahu should make this their first stop!

Scary but worth it! - I was initially scared to do this tour & was contemplating doing a shark dive in a cage. I’m very glad I ended up doing the open water one instead! It was crazy to swim so closely with sharks but the safety briefing beforehand had me feeling safe + I had no idea the stats about how few sharks actually attack humans! Our guides taught us all about that & how beneficial sharks are for our oceans. It was pretty amazing being able to swim around with such majestic creatures - & our guide even took videos for us! Once in a lifetime experience!

You can find cheaper trips with fewer people - 12 people are too many for watching sharks. You can find cheaper trips with fewer people. The introduction was bad. Actually, you didn’t understand what to happens when you went into water.

Overpriced and over crowded - Not quite as special as you would expect it to be. They pack the boats with far too many people so you end up scaring the sharks deeper and only get to see them from a distance. The staff was not very helpful either, they just treaded water while we all just held a rope on the side of the boat and knocked into each other since they oversell the seats. Certainly not worth the high price tag they charge for just shuttling you out to a location. Would suggest they bring smaller groups out to hopefully not scare the sharks.. yes would erode your margins slightly but better than a bad experience...which it is. Go diving instead!
