All staff and captain were very kind and helpful. They were very knowledgeable in this industry and the Polynesian culture. during the trip we encountered numerous whales, and about 50 dolphins swimming alongside our boat, I need to pray to the island God for this! 100% satisfied

Awesome

Steve_K, Nov 2023

Wonderful people, experienced, helpful and very patient. What a great time and location. Perfect dive. No issues what so ever

Not for everyone

Evelyn_P, Nov 2023

It's not for everyone. My left ear popped with a sharp pain due to pressure. But still, I've experienced the feeling to be actually underwater 👍👍

Great excursion

Derek_W, Sep 2023

Were very helpful and patient especially our dive master Alex. Was a nice basic tour, not to deep not to shallow and saw lots of marine life, the water was so clear and beautiful.

Injured but still had tons of fun!!

Robyn_L, Jun 2023

I unfortunately sustained a small foot injury that kept me from diving but I still snorkeled around the boat and the crew was wonderful!! Water was gorgeous and I had fun watching the others descend. Next time I will be more careful 🥰🙏

Fun, but sickening

Brittany_L, Feb 2023

This was a great adventure. The staff was friendly, the boat was clean, and the equipment was in working order. However, for some reason after 40 minutes of diving, I was very sick. I don’t get sea sick ever, but 5 people including myself were puking our guts out. We were thinking that it was unfiltered “bad air” in our tanks but there’s no way to prove that. Overall, it was a neat experience to see the sea life, but I was sick for 4 hours afterwords.

AWESOME DIVE TRIP!

DAVID_R, Jan 2023

An absolutely AWESOME 2 tank dive. I have been a certified diver since my time in the Navy in the late 70's. My 17 yo son, who is not certified, was TOTALLY taken care of. 2nd tank, was just he and I and his new "Hawaiian Uncle", the dive master. A fantastic Christmas day!

Huge sea turtle

Emily_S, Dec 2022

As a first time diver I was very excited and a little nervous. Jared, Scott and Nick gave clear, calm instructions so that once I was in/under the water I was comfortable and would not panic. The experience itself was great as we got to see the biggest sea turtle ever along with lots of fish and coral. It would have been really cool to see some different sites on the second dive which is the only reason I did not give this 5 stars. However, be advised, this activity is not for everyone as several people in our party could not complete the dives for respiratory reasons and/or got seasick. Even I have a pretty strong tolerance for movement and I found myself getting very queasy on the surface of the water and this feeling took a bit to resolve. But overall this experience was awesome!

No regrets 🤙💚

Alvinita_S, Nov 2022

This was my first time, Anna, Phil, Chad and Yoshi went above and beyond to ensure I was successful. Chad and Yoshi were kind and patient teaching me how to breathe properly. I highly recommend you give this a try!

Life changing experience

Peter_Z, Oct 2022

The instructors were absolutely brilliant, they were immersed in environmentally friendly practices and they were extremely careful with beginner divers. Initially with the constraints of the wetsuit and the weight of the scuba equipment I didn’t think I was able to do it after some careful instruction I jumped into the water into a different world and my life changed can’t think the instructors enough on they have opened my eyes.

Outstanding Staff and Value

Howard_B, Oct 2022

Many years since my last scuba and in fact I needed every inch of Scott's very patient, clear and in a word perfect teaching effort before and in the water. At first i was very 'what am i doing here?' That vanished. Your staff was super helpful with equipment fitting, boat travel and support. Highest possible rating.

Fantastic

Weiss_T, Jul 2022

Very satisfied and very helpful funny instructors we love ours trip and the weather is nice and people are great

Excellent dive master

Joanne_E, Jul 2022

Very professional, safe for begginers, dive master was very professional, will definitely be back! We couldn't go on our 2nd dive due to a strong current. Eventhough the trip ended early than expected, we were 100% satisfied. Thank you for the great experience.

Good for beginners

Sean, Jun 2022

Chad, our dive instructor was awesome. His patience with 4 beginners like us, with no SCUBA experience whatsoever, was unparalleled. He took care of us and always ensured that we received the utmost attention we needed despite some of the challenges we encountered - choppy water, goggles not fitting well, and having trouble equalizing. The rest of the staff are very welcoming and accommodating - from the time we walked in to the store, drove to the bay, did the dive, and came back to the store - which made this experience a memorable one. Thank you Waikiki Dive Center!!!

Great time friendly staff

DeAnna_H, May 2022

My daughters and son did amazingly! We saw a sea turtle and so many colorful fish!! My son is 11 and I was worried he would have difficulty but he did better than I did!!
