This was such a great experience and the best intro to scuba diving! Liz was an amazing instructor and made us feel so comfortable in the water and explained the ins and outs of diving very well. Would highly recommend this to anyone interested in trying out scuba diving for the first time.

Less than expected

Andy_X, Apr 2024

We were expecting would go deeper or outside but we only stayed in the lagoon going around the rocks in one small area. Still a fun experience overall

First time won’t be the last

Vivian_T, Apr 2024

What a cool experience. We have never dived. Omg the guides were patient and made certain we had the full enjoyment. As beginners this was the main reason we were able to enjoy ourselves.

Be advised! They may charge you extra!

Hooman_s, Apr 2024

Made a reservation at 2:00 pm and was there before 2:00 pm. Seems they have a policy that you need to be there 30 min earlier. Therefore they refused offering service to us and asked for extra $$$ to reschedule it. Question: if I had to be there 30 min earlier, why didn’t you take reservation for 1:30 instead of 2:00? When a service is booked at 2:00 you are expected to be there at 2:00! I believe they intentionally have this policy to make more money with different excuses. Didn’t feel they are an honest business

If you wanted to try scuba this is for you

Woo_P, Apr 2024

Scott and faith were great! Very informative and knowledgeable. Made sure everyone was being safe and having a good time

Excellent

Stephanie_Q, Apr 2024

Excellent experience , friendly , great for beginners who want to experience scuba diving with a tank

Excellent experience

Primo_3, Apr 2024

I took my wife for a refresher, Nick and Filipe made her feel safe and comfortable, they were both excellent guides. We had plenty of time in the water with great coaching, I would recommend this crew to all new people wanting to try SCUBA, and anyone that needs a refresher, great job and thank you for the Hawaiian hospitality.

Best Experience!

Mike_O, Apr 2024

Faith was an amazing instructor. She made us feel safe at all times. This was the biggest highlights of my vacation. I’m a new fan of scuba diving and plan coming back for more. Thanks!

Truly could not be better!

Sarah_B, Apr 2024

My son (11 years) and partner did this despite no prior scuba experience. My partner always, always has notes—things the tour could improve, etc. He had ZERO notes on this. The guides did a great job getting participants prepped, including calming down one woman who started to panic once in the gear. They had solid safety protocols, gave a good amount of time to explore underwater, guided people to some interesting things, and took Go Pro videos of everyone that they shared right after folks got their gear off. Well worth the money!

Perfect for this beginner

Lorena_O, Apr 2024

I loved it! Instructors Alex and Nick were very experienced and patient. They throughly explained the dos and don’ts and were very understanding of different people’s comfort levels. The location and duration of the experience was also perfect for me. Because of them, I would definitely scuba dive again. 🤟🏽🫶🏽👍🏽

Best Experience

Elijah_M, Apr 2024

Had an amazing time! Nick the instructor was very good in handling the safety of us and ensured making the experience fun.

Way too many people for small area

Sarah_M, Apr 2024

The crew was amazing, really great folks. However there were way too many people booked too be scuba diving in such a small area. Everyone was kicking each other, there wasn't much to see at all and it was hard to get any videos or pictures done. We had to keep trying to get the guys attention to take our pictures/ videos and only ended up with a couple videos, no pictures. We appreciate the team but this small of an area should only have 3 to 4 people max. Thanks for the experience

Great experience

Melissa_G, Apr 2024

Great experience with my teenage son. We’ve done snorkeling before so this was a step beyond. We both enjoyed it

Awesome first time Scuba 🤿

Hugo_O, Apr 2024

Alex and Nick were very patient, attentive and super knowledgeable on everything scuba related. They provided clear and concise instructions and allowed for any questions. I showed up a little late and they still welcomed me without hesitation and with much respect. Because of this amazing experience I plan to do the 2 day certification course. Thank you for the awesome scuba experience 🙏🏽

Nice and friendly

Guanyi_L, Mar 2024

Couches are very nice and friendly. They always around deep in the water and took great videos. Really enjoyed the experience.

It was great experience...

Excellent first experience

Bryan_B, Mar 2024

I really liked the way they instructed and how easy it was to get along and get comfortable with them. They made the learning part more easier and the actual experience more fun.

Ashley_M, Mar 2024

The instructors were great. The visibility was ok at the diving site. Saw lots of cool fish and a sea cucumber.

First scuba diving experience

Angy_P, Mar 2024

I loved my first scuba diving experience thanks to Felipe, who was really helpful, he made sure we felt comfortable in the water and we had learned all the signs and ever before going all the way down into the water, he also recorded some really good videos for us which I appreciate

Perfect Beginner Dive

Sierra_L, Mar 2024

Nick was fantastic! My dad is an SSI instructor and was a PADI instructor for many years, he’s been trying to get me to dive with him for awhile now and he encouraged me to try it out in Hawaii. Nick made the entire trip easy and relaxing! It was only about 12ft deep but that doesn’t take away from the experience at all! Plenty of fish to see and Nicks box fish best friend made its appearance! Would highly recommended to those who want to dip their toe in diving!

Very informative and fun...

Damian_C, Mar 2024

Very informative and fun experience especially if it’s your first time. Faith was thorough and fun to have as an instructor. Safety was #1.
