Kauai travel to Oahu is often done by boat or a cruise ship, thus enhancing the experience, on the water and island to island. Each island has its own character and personality just as each of the dive sites have different things to offer. The weather year round is perfect for the outdoor activities, and the waters remain warm throughout the year as well.
