My son and I dove two wrecks and a reef with Ren and Jake. Such great dives with 2 wonderful guides. They treated us... so well and made the entire experience smooth and comfortable. On shore, on board and underwater everything was there to have 2 of the best dives in my 50 years of diving. The Captain was great too. Mahalo to all of you. Thanks again. We will never forget you or that day.read more

We loved everything about HDA! It’s been 10 yrs since we last scuba dived. At the recommendation of our daughter, who... was certified for open water & nighttime diving by HDA, we called HDA to schedule some dives & setup our 11 yr old for an open water course. We were “that” family: late on day one, last to set up an online account & remember the basics of scuba 🤿 diving. Caleb was our instructor & was nothing but amazing and supportive from start to finish. He solved every one of our problems & kept us going. He was an incredible instructor for our son - couldn’t ask for anyone better. He was patient, knowledgeable, attentive, fun & left a lasting impression on our son. He made sure our son had everything he needed - from 3 wetsuits to a souvenir from his last dive. Even our family photo was thanks to Caleb. Extremely knowledgeable about scuba diving and the world below!! 6 dives later we’re hooked, certified and will be back for more dives when we return!!read more

Went on a dive with Hawaiian Diving Adventures in January and absolutely loved it. Abby and Caleb were truly amazing.... My husband is certified and I had never gone before and they were beyond supportive. They were extremely professional and ensured that we were safe and helped us have the dive of our lives. They had an amazing eye and were able to help is spot so many different fish and other sea life. And the pictures are absolutely worth it!read more
