South shore
This is a list of our favorite dive and snorkeling sites on the South shore of Oahu, Hawaii. The south shore is usually a good spot to dive year-round, with a good diversity of sites. It also has several awesome wrecks to check out! We are working to get updated guides for all of these sites soon!
​
NOTE: The south shore has a high amount of daily boat traffic. We don't recommend snorkeling at many of these sites because there's a greater chance of being struck by a boat. If you're shore diving, please have a proper dive flag set up!
