Amazing guides. Very patient and explain things clearly. My wife was terrified. She panicked and had a lot of anxiety to overcome. Our guide was so patient and comforting. This allowed my wife to relax and thrive. We ended up having an amazing experience. We plan to get scuba certified. If our guide hadn't been as patient as she was then our experience would've been very different. Thank you

Highly recommend for Scuba

ArjunDatt_S, Apr 2024

Amazing experience for beginners and advanced. I’ve done scuba a few times in Hawaii. This was by far the best experience. The instructors are really good and thorough.

Breathtaking sea life and great instructors

Tammera_R, Mar 2024

This experience was incredible. First time diving and Colton and Ami were great! Saw 9 sea turtles! The instructors were clear and knowledgeable making the experience stress-free. Safety was a priority, and the guides did a wonderful job showing us many forms of sea life. Photography is available for a fee - uncertified divers are not allowed to bring their own camera for safety reasons. The crew of the boat was kind and helpful. Colton, Kevin, Heather, Ami, and Nacho were all fantastic. 10/10 recommend!!

GREAT EXPERIENCE

Catherine_G, Nov 2023

Crew was amazing and laid back. They were very patient with my sudden seasick issues. They left the option up to me to get back in the water and were very patient in teaching. Would definitely recommend

Amazing experience! Lindsey is an awesome guide!

Terra_P, Sep 2023

Amazing diving experience! Lindsey was our guide and was great at explaining what to expect, reviewing skills, and guiding us around the reefs. Fantastic experience, the entire boat crew was great. Highly recommend!

Saw turtles and lots of fish and they accommodated all levels

Angelica_C, Aug 2023

Great experience! Saw turtles and lots of fish. They said the previous day they saw dolphins but we didn’t :/. This was my husband’s first time diving. I’m certified but needed a refresher, so we decided to do the Discover Scuba together. The staff on the boat accommodated us as well as other discover scuba people and certified people. There were lots of snacks on board the boat and there was a bathroom. The guide Shabad(?) was a little soft spoken so it was hard to hear some of the safety material but otherwise he was awesome! He helped me with with the refresher and we did a short dive just 1:1 (5-10 min?) which is when I saw the turtles. The first dive is 1:1 and to make sure you have the basics down and if you do, a mini dive. Then there’s a second dive that’s maybe 20 min or so.

Honu moment

Phaeleau_C, Jul 2023

30 feet below a clear blue ocean look up to see the silhouette of a honu (sea turtle) then watch in awe as he or she slowly dives right by me.

Must do when visiting!!!

Nathaniel_H, Jul 2023

Trip was amazing, Kacee was an excellent guide. The staff was very responsive when I had questions and the rest of the boat crew made the trip fun along with the dive sites. 10/10 Highly recommend.

Great fun and crew

Daniel_K, Jul 2023

Nacho, Miranda, Lexi, Adam, and Walter were phenomenal. My daughter struggled but they were patient with her. We got to see turtles, eels and the wonders of the reef. Highly recommend them.

Gabby and Nacho were amazing! I’ve never scuba dived before and was really nervous. They did a great job. Gabby stayed with me the whole time and helped point out wildlife and made sure I was comfortable. Nacho found a great dive location that had tons of fish!

A good experience

Tracy_D, Mar 2023

The people were very professional and helpful. My first time to dive in Hawaii and I was a little disappointed in the coral reefs...I feel like they need to rehabilitate them. There were plenty of fish and turtles to see.

Memorable dive trip
