If you’re visiting Hawaii and are ready to take your vacation to the next level, it’s time to book a dive tour with Banzai Divers. Diving is a way of life at this Honolulu company. Indulge your adventurous side and let them show you Oahu from a new perspective.

When you decide to take the proverbial plunge, rest assured that Banzai Divers’ tour guides are highly skilled, knowledge, and fully focused on your safety. You can do your part to make sure your dive tour goes smoothly by packing the right things for your adventure.

Here’s the essential gear and equipment Banzai Divers recommends for you and your family:

• Apparel: Make sure you’ve got the proper underwater attire. Bring a couple swimsuits; you will spend a lot of time in the water, so it’s smart to bring two so you always have a dry suit available. Don’t forget a wetsuit, as well as moisture-wicking clothing to keep you comfortable in the Hawaiian heat. Gloves are helpful if you plan to handle rocks or other undersea objects.

• Gear: If you and your family already own comfortable dive gear, bring it along if it’s packable. For a dive tour, you’ll need a swim mask, a snorkel, fins, booties, a buoyancy compensator, and a dive computer. Otherwise, Banzai Divers can provide the gear you need to enjoy a safe underwater experience.

• Photography: If you pride yourself on your photography skills, don’t forget to pack a camera, as well as an underwater camera housing, strobe, charger, and other essential equipment.

• Toiletries: Some items are especially important if you’re planning a dive tour or snorkel tour. At the top of that list is sunscreen — you’re bound to catch a few rays in Honolulu, and it’s important to protect your skin. It’s also quite uncomfortable to wear a swimsuit or wetsuit over sunburned skin, so you will want to protect yourself. Other items that come in handy are lip balm and motion sickness pills.

With these items packed, you’re ready to enjoy a stunning snorkel tour, night dive, shark dive, or scuba diving adventure with your family. To learn more about Banzai Divers and schedule an appointment, visit their website or call (808) 462-8290.
