Sights to See

Experience the thrill of seeing marine life that you might not encounter during the day. Here are some of the unique sights you might see on our night dive:

  • Honu (Hawaii's Green Sea Turtle): Although critically endangered, you might spot them resting in crevices or along the reef.

  • Nocturnal Reef Fish: Many fish species, such as squirrelfish and soldierfish, become more active at night. Over 21% of these fish are found only in Hawaii.

  • Reef Sharks: White-tip reef sharks are often spotted during night dives as they become more active, hunting around the reef.

  • Octopus (Tako): These intelligent creatures are more active at night, using their camouflage to hunt.

  • Crustaceans and Eels: Look for lobsters, crabs, and moray eels, which emerge from their hiding spots after dark.
