When Experience and Safety Matter
In an industry where experience equals safety, do not leave your underwater adventure to chance. Unlike high-volume tourist mills employing transient instructors who have only been in Hawaii for a season, Rainbow Scuba Hawaii is led by master divers with decades of local navigation, salvage, and instruction experience.
We operate out of the Kewalo Basin boat harbor in Honolulu, Oahu, offering exclusive private charters and small-group experiences. Whether you are trusting us with your first breath underwater or your hundredth wreck dive, you are diving with professionals who know every current, reef, and wreck in these waters.

World-Class Shipwrecks and Reefs
For certified divers, we offer advanced charters to Oahu's most spectacular sites. Experience the thrill of exploring the Sea Tiger shipwreck, a massive vessel resting on the ocean floor, or the YO-257, both teeming with eagle rays and sea turtles. For the ultimate adventure, join us for a night dive to see these dormant giants come alive with nocturnal marine life.
First Time? No Problem. We specialize in the "Discovery Dive"—a comprehensive, safe introduction to scuba that requires no prior experience. Our instructors are by your side every kick of the way, ensuring your first interaction with a Hawaiian Green Sea Turtle is a memory you will cherish forever.
The Private Charter Difference
Avoid the crowds and the "cattle-boat" mentality. Rainbow Scuba Hawaii offers Private Boat Charters tailored to your schedule and skill level. This is the ideal option for families, couples, or serious photographers who require a dedicated boat and captain without the interference of strangers.
We also provide premium snorkeling tours at Waikiki's famous Turtle Canyon, providing high-quality masks, fins, and snorkels for a comfortable surface interval between dives.
Dive with Confidence
Your life and your vacation time are valuable. Choose the operator that combines local authority, PADI training facility status, and a relentless commitment to safety. Join Rainbow Scuba Hawaii for an underwater experience that is as safe as it is unforgettable.
