In this adventure, watch as we scuba dive my favorite shore dive location on Oahu - Makaha Caverns. (Despite the name, "Makaha Caverns", I did not enter or attempt to enter any area that required a cave diving qualification. Each "cavern" is a swim through in which light can be seen from the other side prior to entering)
This spot is absolutely amazing. We saw sea turtles, eagle rays, a HUGE amount of different styles of fish, and some of the coolest caverns I've seen so far. I absolutely love finding new caves and swim throughs to scuba dive in, and I've been wanting to visit this spot for over a year now. IT WAS EVERYTHING I IMAGINED AND MORE!
We also met an extremely friendly diver at the beach there. His name is Jaime, and him and his friends gave us a ride out to the caverns on the back of their scooters. If you're interested in having a scooter to give your shore diving hobby a boost, leave a comment below and I'll get you in touch with him. Thank you Jaime!
I tried to look up guides on diving from Makaha Beach, and honestly finding the directions is kinda tricky. I highly recommend arriving early to beat the current, and to make sure to go on a calm day. From there, you'll want to swim off from the beach at the edge of the reef right by the lifeguard stand, and swim out about 150 meters. You'll arrive at the turtle cleaning station. If you hit the underwater buoys, you've gone too far. At that point, turn right, and swim into the reef for about another 150 meters, towards the house at the end of the water's edge. You'll see a giant rock with a sort of lip on one side. Swim over that, and the caverns are on the other side. For more info, the video shows most of the ride out there!
This site is also the home to the Mahi shipwreck, a location I hope to be visiting next week, but it's not really a shore diving adventure.. You'll want a boat for that.
Whether you're traveling to Oahu, or looking for places to snorkel or scuba dive on Oahu, I hope this video is helpful!
This video is my longest video yet, and I'm so excited for it, because it is PACKED full of life. I spent hours trimming the original footage to find and showcase the BEST footage for you.
