About Electric beach
Electric Beach is a shore dive on Oahu's west side, where warm outflow pipes and nearby reef lines draw dense marine life close to the parking area. The site is popular because the entry is simple in good conditions and the underwater payoff is immediate, but the current and swell can change the feel quickly. It is a better fit for divers who are comfortable reading conditions than for anyone wanting a casual no-thought swim.
