The PADI Open Water Diver course integrates with other PADI programs to help meet changing consumer needs. The philosophy is to give you maximum flexibility in accommodating time demands and varying learning styles.

Dive Today is a philosophy that addresses the biggest perceptual obstacle to becoming a diver: that it takes a lot of time before you even get to dive. The philosophy is to begin student learning by diving in confined water and open water as early as possible. This not only accomplishes a marketing objective, but assists course educational goals by bolstering student interest and motivation.

Dive site one - YO-257 / San Pedro - Viz awesome 100' - Sharks, sharks, sharks, did i mention sharks! Eagle ray up close for pics (check out our flickr.com page http://www.flickr.com/photos/10968383@N04/ ) , was also full of turtles and no current at all, super dive!

Dive site two - Kewalo pipe - viz great 60' - Well a little let down after that YO-257 dive but lots of eels, schools of fish and a good reef to scuba dive.

PADI Scuba diving the ship wreck YO-257 on Oahu, Hawaii

There are actually two ship wrecks to see at this site, This is definitely a two-for-one dive.

YO-257 Shipwreck
Arguably the most exciting ship wreck to dive on the island of Oahu. The YO-257 was a Navy yard oiler built in the 1940's. It was bought by Atlantis Submarines Hawaii and sunk as an artificial reef off Waikiki in 1989. The ship rests upright in 100 feet of water with the main deck about 85 feet. It has been prepared for diving with many large access holes cut through the structure. Visibility is normally 100+ feet. There is sometimes a strong current at the surface, but a decent line is always rigged to mooring buoys on the wreck. You can expect to see lots of green sea turtles, white-tip reef sharks, eagle rays, and even get your picture taken by the occupants of the Atlantis Submarine. That's right, the tourists will be inside the submarine looking out at you.

San Pedro Shipwreck
In 1996, a new ship, the San Pedro (80 feet long) was sunk within 50 yards from the YO257 (190 feet long). It is the home of many colorful fish, moray eels, lots of turtles, and white tip reef sharks may be found around the wreck.

Check out our PADI scuba courses for instruction on the Wreck Diver Course or the Deep Diver Course while diving on these ship wrecks.

Kewalo Basin Pipe
This site provides you with easy navigation and the opportunity to see the elusive dragon eel. There is an abundance of aquatic life to observe and photograph. Maximum depth is 60 feet.
