⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great experience diving with Waikiki Dive Center! The shop is very organized and makes the trip smooth and enjoyable. Our guide April was awesome. She prioritized everyone’s safety and was fun to dive with. Everyone was helpful and friendly and I would definitely recommend this shop. I will absolutely come back in the future!
Enjoyed my dives! Saw a lot of turtles. The staff did a great job of making sure that I had what I needed to get the most out of the experience.
Poor experience diving the sea tiger in strong current. We got paired with an inexperienced couple on regular air while we were on Nitrox. Spent less than 7 minutes on the wreck and left with a NDL of 10min+. One panicked diver while the second diver was sucking down air at a high rate. While the poor conditions are not the dive centers fault, they also had no issue selling us $22 per tank Nitrox while setting us up for a bounce dive since the DM was on regular air. Pairing experienced divers with less experienced divers on a different gas is inconsiderate at best. There were 2 other DMs/guides on the boat guiding 3 other divers who had “normal dives”. $550 for a crap “bounce” dive + some turtles and not much else. You are better off booking elsewhere. The dive centers response on our Google review further reinforces the problem. They just don’t care, it’s about $$$ while keeping up appearances. “Appreciating” our understanding after the center delivered a poorly executed dive plan and then hiding behind safety is the core problem. I find the dive centers position claiming safety condescending. They made no effort to address the situation. This shop chose to pair inexperienced divers on air with experienced nitrox divers on a 100 foot+ dive believing this is an acceptable practice. There were other DM’s on board, it was not even a staffing issue. Just a complete “not giving a s**t” after getting our money. How about making an accommodation and leaving the experienced divers in the care of another DM vs forcing us to surface? Keeping us grouped with a diver who panicked and another that went through air rapidly for the 2nd dive only highlights that the staff could care less about the experience offered.
Fabulous first dive after lay-off. April was a perfect dive lead, all certified but difficult experience. Sharks, Turtles, many fish, as well as the great wreck of course. I’ll go again!
Great experience and great time, excellent gear and guides. Got to see many fishes, octopuses and turtles!
My fifth time diving with Waikiki Dive Centre. From check in on the whole experience is professionally conducted. This experience is fun and safe for everyone from beginner to diving professional. Highly recommend!
Finished my certification last week here. So I wanted to do two more dives before leaving so I called the shop and wanted to do a wreck dive. So the shop set me up with Natasha. She was amazing. Got to the shop in the morning. Made sure I was good to go. We loaded up and headed to the boat. She went over all safety precautions, made sure I was good to go and off we went. The dive was amazing. The views and the fish and turtles we saw were incredible. All around great dive. If you are up for a dive and want a great experience. Stop, call and ask for Natasha. Thanks again.
Although the visibility wasn’t fantastic, I still had a great time diving the wreck and the pipe. Saw some large fish and even bigger sea turtles! The crew, Tay, April and captain Steve were wonderful and helpful!
The diving with Waikiki Dive Center was awesome! The captain (Yoshi) and guides (Taylor and April) were excellent and made both dives enjoyable by pointing out cool fish and other underwater creatures. We saw multiple sharks and more turtles than we could count. Thanks guys!
I dove several charters with Waikiki Dive Center and had an incredible experience every time. Taylor, April, and Micah were awesome—super friendly, helpful, and always quick to help me spot interesting marine life to photograph. Captain Yoshi, Steve, and Jim kept everything running smoothly on the boat, assisting with gear and making sure all the passengers were comfortable and having a great time. Highly recommend if you’re looking for a great underwater adventure in Waikiki
