Our Story
As we venture into the journey of shark cage diving on Oahu's North Shore, we take you back to the cultural significance of sharks in Hawaiian mythology. In Hawaiian folklore, the shark is revered as a figure central to the native Hawaiian culture. The reverence for sharks dates back to ancient times, with stories of ancestral familial gods. Today, we continue to honor these majestic creatures as we take you on a journey to witness their agility and gracefulness as they glide by inches away from you.
