Absolutely the best on the island. I have dived with 3-4 other shops on Oahu and this crew knows what they are doing. The equipment is top notch, the attention... read more is personal and the groups are small.
First trip with them was the afternoon 2 reef dives. I enjoy these types of dives as they are typically longer, go at a slower pace which suits me as an amateur photographer. While students and beginners are frequently on the afternoons, that's not a problem for me. Everyone has to learn at some point, and I'm not perfect. Beautiful coral gardens, abundance of fish, turtles, a white tip shark and even endemic green lionfish and a Whitley's (!!!) boxfish.
Second trip, owner suggested I take the morning wreck and reef. So glad I did. Stellar diving, good vis, and safe wreck swim throughs with frogfish and turtles. Again, the reef was like above, this time with a saddleback butterflyfish, more lionfish, turtles and nudis.
Please enjoy their aloha hospitality and a hui hou!
PS as an older woman, diving single, I was treated wonderfully.MaryeLois M
May 29, 2023AMAZING!! - Our guide was absolutely amazing! He went above and beyond to make me feel safe and calm. I’ve always had a fear of being in large bodies of water, so... read more the first time getting into the water with the guide I started panicking but he was right there with me and instantly helped calm me down. The rest of the dive went great after that. Just remember to breathe! Will definitely be going back and hope to get our guide Evan again.
May 16, 2023Great diving experience - Very fun and knowledgeable divemasters. They had the equipment fully ready for us so all we had to do we slip on the BCD and flippers and do some... read more final checks. We saw numerous turtles and colorful fish. We are recently certified so they gave us good pointers at the start. We felt safe and taken care of throughout the dive.

Attention to detai. - In order to have a good time scuba diving you need people who can provide a safe environment. I did my SSI 4 check out dives with Andrew and Caleb... read more and I feel that the experience was educational, exciting and most of all safe. The 2 days we were out were in active waters,not the most ideal of circumstances, but I’m now a certified scuba diver now and I made it back to the shore safe and sound. I would definitely recommend this outfit for your next dive.
May 10, 2023Amazing views & Crew - This crew is perfect for your first experience! I was PANICKED (it was embarrassing) so I wouldn’t have been able to go down & see the amazing things we did... read more (which included turtles & a shark) if it wasn’t for the reassurance from both Dana & Andrew. 10/10 would recommend them!

Great professional and friendly approach. I had no experience at all but everything was explained and demonstrated very nicely. We liked it so much that I took my preteen daughter... read more for a 2d day. She had a blast. They were nice enough to give her a 2d dry suit to keep her warmer for the 2d dive .
Her fav activity from the whole Hawaiian trip.olgablueolga

Our family of 3 advanced open water divers had 2 amazing boat dives with Caleb and his crew on the deep/reef dive combo. The service was excellent, the dives were... read more amazing and the knowledge Caleb has of the Oahu waters is unparalleled- he knows where to find all the best spots where we found critters big and small, and gave us informative and helpful dive briefings that covered everything you need to know about the dive sites. Thank you for a wonderful experience!

Just finished up my open water certification and couldn't be more pleased with my experience. My instructor Evan was superb - extremely knowledgeable, clear in his instruction, a great teacher,... read more committed to my success, kind, warm, relaxed, and funny. I felt prepared and comfortable at all times. It was great to get so much 1-1 instruction and support. I also felt super appreciative of the approach of this company too- not trying to upsell (ie high integrity), reasonably priced, and clearly very safe and prepared. Both of the days I was on the boat with other groups but still had 1-1 instruction with Evan. I really enjoyed my time on the boat, too, not just in the water. The guys were all light-hearted and fun, but still clearly very knowledgeable and helpful, looking after us. On the dives, we saw lots of cool fish, tons of turtles, some octopi, an eel, and even an eagle ray. Between dives on the first day, we saw a huge pod of dolphins as well. It was a wonderful experience overall and I can't wait to put my new skills to use all over the world. Thank you so much Evan, Andrew, Blade, and crew! You rock! So glad I chose Hawaii Diving Adventures!

There were 5 divers on this excursion, including myself and my partner. One diver had recently bought new equipment, one had not dived since January, one had never dived before,... read more and the two of us were recently certified. There were three dive guides on board and we felt very safe in their hands. The person who had never dived before had his own guide while the other two guides took turns accompanying the rest of us 4 on a little tour of the pip and reef at Kewalo Basin. They provided wetsuits and I was glad to wear them because it was a bit cold and necessary for me to be comfortable. Jon said he wasn't cold without one. The other lady didn't have one and said she was too cold to do her second dive. We saw eels, fish, turtles, and a Spanish Dancer. It was cool to get so much closer to the reef than on our snorkel tour. We were even graced by a monk seal saying hi 10 feet from our boat in between our dives. One of the guides said they were very rare and was quite surprised that the little guy came up to the boat. If you're into scuba diving, I would recommend this company.

These guys are great! Hands down the best diving company in Oahu. I have dove with a couple of others, and Hawaiian Diving Adventures are not only knowledgeable and friendly... read more but also have a strong focus on safety. I completed my Advanced Adventurer Certification with them (i.e., three 2-tank dives), and every time I had a great experience. They have their own boat with small groups. They also had enough instructors/dive masters on the boat to make even the least experienced divers feel safe). I can compare this experience with completing my Nitrox Certification with another provider in Oahu, and it's night and day in terms of customer service, professionalism and safety. Highly recommended! Thanks Evan, Bailey and Andrew for a great time!
