About One Ocean Diving – Shark Research Snorkel
One Ocean Diving - Shark Research Snorkel takes you offshore from Haleiwa for a cage-free shark snorkel on Oahu's North Shore. This is a snorkel-only tour, led by a team focused on shark research, conservation and safe in-water interaction.
Before entering the water, the crew explains shark behavior, safety procedures and how to move respectfully in the ocean. Once conditions are right, you enter the water with snorkel gear while a safety diver stays with the group.
The tour is built for confident swimmers who want a direct, respectful shark encounter without a cage. You may see pelagic shark species in the open ocean, and the crew shares information about shark physiology, behavior and current research during the trip.
