Aloha, my name is Devin Erickson. I was born and raised in Kansas which is about as far from the ocean as you can get. I learned to Dive in a murky lake with my dad when I was 12 years old. Shortly after we took a trip to Jamaica and the warm clear seas and abundant marine life sealed the deal. I was hooked and I knew this is what I wanted to do for the rest of my life.
A lava tube is a lava cave that can form when lava, or pele in Hawaiian, flows beneath the surface of hardened rock. As the underground flow slows and cools, tunnels can form as it creates a crust around itself. Underwater, this creates a truly spectacular seascape few people see. Tunnels, caverns, arches, pillars and trenches resulting from this geological process are spread throughout some of the dives we offer at Banzai Divers Hawaii.
Oahu is known for its variety of wreck dives. From massive fishing trollers, to minesweepers, or WWII planes, we've got it all. These underwater structures also provide host to a plethora of amazing marine life! Ancient green sea turtles come to rest on the decks, colossal moray eels peek out from vents, while sharks and rays swim around the bottoms to create a truly remarkable dive.
Oahu is part of the most isolated chain of islands in the world! This means that as much as 30 percent of the marine life you'll see on our reefs cannot be found anywhere else on earth! Aside from this, our reefs are known for their variety of colorful hard corals such as lobe, cauliflower, antler, brain and mushroom.
This is one all divers talk about! No matter how experienced you are, what your certification level is, our night dives are sure to excite. Hawaii is one of the most isolated chain of islands in the world. While during the day, this paves way to many endemic fish found only in Hawaii, at night it showcases an ecosystem unlike any other.

My son and I dove with Devon this morning. We did the lava tube dives at sharks cove. Both dives we did were my favorite dives that I have done so far. We saw about 9 sea turtles, schools of fish, lots of coral, an octopus, eel and a white tipped reef shark. Devon was helpful and made sure we were safe. I can’t wait to come back and do more dives with Banzai divers.

Great experience! Devin was excellent and helped a group of 7 of us (3 were first time divers) have a wonderful experience. We were in the water about an hour —much more than other introductory dives we have taken in the past. We all felt very comfortable in the water and would highly recommend him to others.

My wife and I dive with Devin in Waikiki this December. This was my wife's open water certification dive and my first dive in 15 years. Devin was excellent and thorough in his instruction while still creating an environment instilled confidence in both if us. He was able to point out sea life we would not have found on our own including a reef shark. Highly recommended.
