The diving in Oahu offers the typical lava tubes and canyons you find throughout the Hawaiian Islands.  Fish life is abundant along the reefs and occasionally you can see a Manta Ray passing by.

There are a few wrecks to dive on the leeward side of the island, including a WWII Minelayer called the "Mahi" that rests in about 95 feet of water.

With Oahu being one of the more commercialized and populated of the Islands there are plenty of dive shops to pick from.  My experience with Aaron's Dive Shop was not the most favorable of my diving career.

When I arrived on the Island, Aaron's Dive Shop had no record of dates I had pre-booked with them and their attitude they presented was they would be doing me a favor if they could squeeze me in.

Pickups at the hotel were never on time and the dive staff seemed pretty uninterested in their customers or their diving excursions.  There never was much of a dive site briefing on any of the dives that I recall.

Overall the diving in Oahu is not bad, however from my experience with Aaron's Dive Shop I can only give them a 1 Dive Flag Rating.  If you plan on diving on Oahu, my suggestion is look for another dive shop.
