Scuba Diving Oahu's Shark Cove

  Summer time in Oahu means the North Shore calms down and scuba season opens up. Heidi and I picked a very calm morning to rent some tanks and check out the underwater landscape at Shark's Cove, one of the North Shore's most popular scuba and snorkel sites.

  We snagged a couple of tanks from Eco Divers in the quirky North Shore town of Haleiwa. From there it is just a short drive to Pupukea, the community that contains shark's cove. It was a beautiful day and many people had already hit the water.

  Right when we got into the shallows I could see that it was going to be great viz for our dive. We started out by heading to the right but after not finding much and getting separated we decided to turn back to the left. The wall on the outside of the lave flow forms a vertical shelf that extends 20-30ft underwater. We swam past small schools of fish and a couple of fun nudibranchs but the best photo opportunities came from the feeding and swimming sea turtles.
