BELOW - Oahu Awesome Scuba Diving GoPro 4K - Hawaii

My recent diving experience on the island of Oahu, Hawaii. This is my fourth Hawaiian underwater film completing all main islands scuba experience. All of them deliver exceptional dive sites with colorful and rich marine life and each of them is different. Oahu offers more wrecks then the other islands making it fun and interesting each time you get in the water. Finding a right dive shop is always challenging and frustrating some times. I did my homework and was fortunate enough to pick two really friendly, professional with great service. On top of all small groups. Meaning - they have more time for YOU. And... that is priceless. All of my diving is on the South side of the island. Six dives with Reef Pirates Diving (www.reefpirates.com) and two dives at Hanauma Bay with Living Ocean Scuba (www.livingoceanscuba.com). I wish weather would be much nicer at the Marine Sanctuary and visibility greater due to big swell but two hours spent underwater paid off with great memories and shark size Milk Fish (actually two of them). My six dives were located not far from Hanauma Bay. Two wrecks and 4 reef dives. Corsair Plane Wreck and Lending Craft dive sites are "must to do list". Absolutely amazing underwater experience. Abundance of marine life and the stunning visibility. My clearest shots are from those deep dives. I did not have a chance to see sharks this time but there is some new creatures not captured in my previous excursions. All recorded in 4K with GoPro Hero4 and Hero3 Black Editions plus Sola 500 dive light from Light & Motion. Also used red filters with addition of macro lens for GoPro. Edited in Sony Movie Studio 13.

    Wow, brings back great memories. I made over 1,000 dives when I lived on Oahu from '83 to '90. I was the president of the now defunct Hawaii Council of Diving Clubs in '85. Thanks for sharing.

    This is very beautiful...thank you so much for sharing. My wife and I spent two weeks on Oahu last March. I arrived with the flu and a plugged up ear from flying, and didn't get well enough the whole time, to make my first dive in the Pacific...Your video has done an excellent job showing me what I missed. I also like to film my diving experiences and use a GoPro 3+ with a SeaLife 2500 light, and a red filter....Again that's an excellent video and sure added some beauty to this drab day here in Nova Scotia Canada...

I was diving on all Hawaiian Islands and Oahu wasn't on top of my list since I love the wildlife more then wrecks but ... Oahu has more wrecks and it was interesting to see it for a change. Being underwater makes me feel awesome and diving cold water in the Midwest doesn't even get close to "dead reef" :)

We would dive off Pensacola beach and just swim out as far as we could to 1500 psi and turn around and swim back just to be scuba diving and it was and still is just an underwater desert.
