Here, you will not only know the basics of scuba diving from the best instructors, but you will also experience and be one with nature, particularly the lovely creatures and coral formations down under. Truly, this tour is an incredible way to explore and relish the beauty of Hawaii, particularly the Big Island!

What’s impressive about Hilo Ocean Adventures’ 1 or 2 Tank Introductory Beach Scuba Dive is that sufficient time will be alloted to ensure that you learn the basic scuba diving skills and acquire the necessary knowledge before actually going into the ocean. The first part of the tour is a 45-minute classroom instruction, where the basics will be taught and discussed. With Hilo Ocean Adventures’ topnotch materials and competent dive instructors, you will surely get what you need from this portion of the tour alone! Before heading to the seas, you will first have a pool instruction, which is meant to give you a safe and easy opportunity to practice in water prior to your actual dive. This part of the tour is especially helpful, too, and will all the more excite you for the most-awaited portion of the activity!

Of course, the open water dive is what we are talking about! Here, you will not only get to apply and enhance your newly acquired diving skills, but you will surely have a grand time sightseeing underwater! Hilo’s pristine waters, majestic coral reefs and other formations, and its precious marine life are most definitely worth the wait and the money spent in booking the tour. The sights are spectacularly splendid, the up-close animal encounter is especially amazing, and the overall experience is absolutely phenomenal. 

Without a doubt, this is a tour you will not regret booking. Learn, explore, and make the most out of your trip to the Big Island with Hilo Ocean Adventures – 1 or 2 Tank Introductory Beach Scuba Dive!
