Dive Kauai's Two Tank South Island Boat Adventure Dive: A Premium Experience for the Seasoned Diver
Dive Kauai proudly introduces the Two Tank South Island Boat Adventure Dive, a diving endeavor meticulously designed for certified divers. This adventure is not just another dive; it's a sophisticated and enriching underwater expedition for those with a deep-seated passion for the sea. Tailored for divers with significant experience, this adventure usually requires 20 or more logged dives or a dive within the last six months, ensuring a group of skilled divers for a top-tier experience. However, in a unique twist catering to the diverse needs of our clientele, we occasionally offer "All Certified Diver's Welcome" boats during certain times of the year. These special dives relax the 20 logged dive minimum, opening the doors to a broader range of certified divers when water conditions allow. This adjustment allows more enthusiasts to experience the enchanting beauty of Kauai’s southern coast while maintaining the high standards of safety and enjoyment that Dive Kauai is known for. Whether it's exploring vibrant coral reefs or encountering the majestic "Honu", this adventure dive offers an extraordinary opportunity for divers to challenge their skills, connect with the ocean, and share their passion with a community of like-minded individuals.

Additional Info
🌺 Aloha and Mahalo for Choosing Dive Kauai!
We can’t wait to welcome you to your Boat Adventure Dive on Kauai! Below you’ll find all the important details you need for your adventure. Please read carefully to ensure you are fully prepared and excited for your upcoming dive.
🤿 Boat Adventure Dive Overview
Get ready for an unforgettable boat diving experience with Dive Kauai! This adventure offers certified divers the chance to explore the pristine waters of Kauai, featuring lava tubes, fascinating reef structures, and an abundance of marine life. With over 13 dive sites to choose from, our captain and crew will select the best sites based on conditions of the day and qualifications of divers on board.
🌟 Dive Highlights:
-
Sheraton Caverns: One of Kauai’s most famous dive sites, renowned for its majestic lava tubes, arches, and thriving Hawaiian Green Sea Turtles (Honu). While we strive to visit Sheraton Caverns 9 out of 10 times due to its popularity, dive sites are never guaranteed. Kauai’s ever-changing conditions mean we can’t pre-select sites like other locations worldwide. But rest assured, our captain and crew will always choose the best sites for that day’s conditions to ensure a fantastic diving experience.
-
Abundant Marine Life: Encounter vibrant coral formations, exotic reef fish, and even the hear magical songs of humpback whales (December–March).
All certified diver tours are 2-tank dives and planned for approximately 4 hours. The experience combines a topography dive (lava formations, collapsed lava tubes, etc.) with a reef dive, providing you with an exciting and diverse underwater adventure.
