This is a very good dive shop and operation although I am very experienced diver I am getting older and things get harder this shop looked out for me with the sizing of the gear and out on the boat the divemaster April was so very nice and made me feel very comfortable .

First time diving in Hawaii
It was a wonderful experience for my first time in Hawaii. From check in at the center. We did the sea tiger wreck and the pipe reef and seen abundant sea life, dozens of turtles, 2 octopuses, many fish, moray eels, and a crown fish. Both the guide Tay and the ship captain were very helpful. I would definitely recommend and comeback for more and hope for better and sunnier weather! :)

I am still giggling with happiness after diving with Tay and cared for by Captain Steve. From the time we showed up at the shop the entire operation was friendly, efficient, safe, thorough and all around fantastic. Gear was out and organized and ready to try on and give it a once over. Before I knew it we were in the van for the short 10 min drive to the marina. Captain Steve gave a great brief of the boat, and safety equipment as Tay loaded our gear and tanks on the boat. And we were shoving off the slip in less than 20 min of arriving. We were the first boat at the deep dive sight and short 15 min boat ride. Tay gave an equally efficient brief about expectations, safety, plans if anyone in the group was having problems. Hand signals for concerns, animals and how to communicate air psi and safety stops. And our bottom time was extraordinarily! Turtles, eels, sharks, and soooo many fish. Surface interval flew by as we moved to the second dive sight. Water, snacks, restrooms and plenty of boat deck space. Second dive was not as deep but filled with even more turtles, eels and fish. An octopus sighting and did I mention turtles the size of Volkswagens!! We pushed back our flight to dive with them again we had so much fun. You are wasting your time if you dive with anyone else. We will come back guaranteed! If I could give ten stars I would.

Lost of sea life, interesting wreck and great crew!
We recently completed the deep dive on the Sea Tiger wreck with Waikiki Dive Center, followed by a more shallow reef dive. Both dives excellent. Captain Steve and Divemaster Taylor (Tay) ran a safe, efficient, and fun trip. We saw so many fish, moray eels, turtles, an octopus swimming on the reef, and more. This is one trip to do again!

Worst dive shop experience for a monthly diver
It was not a great experience overall. The receptionist was rude, and I was overcharged during my stay. A couple of the divers also did not have the required advanced certification, which resulted in the dive being cut short.
However, Dive Master April was excellent. She was professional, knowledgeable, and did a great job. I hope she finds a dive shop that truly values its customers and her skills. as a world monthly and youtube scuba diver. I wouldn't recomand diving with them.

Wreck and Reef Dive is a must!
Waikiki Dive center was awesome. Just did the Wreck/Reef dive with Divemaster April and it was a great experience. Dive shop had everything ready to go upon arrival with gear all laid out and labeled per person. Just a matter of trying everything on and then headed to boat. Divemaster April was very professional and ensured everybody had a great experience safely. The wreck five was awesome and we saw sharks, eels and fish. The reef dive was pleasant where we saw octopus, turtles and eels. She pointed out a ton of sea life. Highly recommended! Thanks!

Great dives
The eight dives I did were wonderful and had many respectful close encounters with turtles and rays. Lots of marine life that the dive stuff did a nice job of locating for divers. The shop has many instructors and dive masters that added their own expertise to each dive. Perhaps this led to having to restart everyday of diving like it was day one again for the customer because the staff did not have continuous continuity. This also applies to booking dives before arriving. Having so many different staff members led to some confusion of booking dives. Even with multiple divers on the dive boat at once, the groups were put into smaller groups with many divers having similar diving background experiences put together and the boat never felt crowded. Most dives were a short boat ride to dive locations, the furtherest away was around 7 minutes out. Some dive sites were repeated.
Great diving and what seemed to be wonderful diving instruction from Learning to Dive students through divers wanting to become instructors.

Excellent wreck & reef dive trip.
Great dive operation. The capt & dive masters were professional, knowledgeable, & approachable. They run a well-planned, safe dive op. We did a deep wreck dive at the Sea Tiger where we saw a couple of sharks, and then a reef dive where we saw several honu being cleaned by fish. I would not hesitate to dive with them again. Dive masters Ryan & Taylor were outstanding.
