Expert Oahu wall-and-drift dive with deep ledges and reef life.
Split Rock is a boat-access deep wall and drift dive on Oahu, named for the split boulder at one of the ledges. The site suits trained divers and rewards careful buoyancy along the wall. Plan for an open-ocean profile, a deep briefing, and a run that favors experienced teams comfortable with current, spacing, navigation, and controlled ascent on a long ledge line.
