Diving is a risk activity
Scuba diving, snorkeling, freediving and other ocean activities carry real risk of injury and death, including drowning, decompression illness, marine-animal injuries and boating accidents. Nothing on this website is diving instruction, medical advice or a guarantee that a site, operator or activity is safe on a particular day. Dive only within the limits of your training and certification, follow your instructor's, dive guide's and lifeguard's instructions, and consult a physician about your fitness to dive.
Information can change
We work to keep our guides accurate and cite official sources, but ocean conditions change hour to hour, and rules, permits, fees, reservation systems and closures change often. Some information may be out of date by the time you read it. Always confirm current conditions and rules with official sources, such as the National Weather Service, county lifeguards, the Hawaiʻi Department of Land and Natural Resources and park operators, before you go.
