Loved the ease of shore dive with our dive master Reid. He was personable and very knowledgeable. A chillaxing dive experience.
Loved your review! Thank you for choosing Fathom Five.
Extremely horrible. If I could give 0 stars I would. I’m writing this to warn others if they are booking from Fathom Five, because we didn’t even get the chance to go scuba diving. We booked for Monday morning, they called and told us they’re not free all day Monday, so we booked for Tuesday morning, and when we rescheduled Sunday they confirmed that they are free Tuesday morning. Monday morning comes, and suddenly they’re not even free Tuesday morning. This isn’t the only event planned for our trip, so the last minute changes are absolutely disappointing and disgusting. Never contacting this group ever again.
Thank you for sharing your experience. Sounds like we were having conditions that are not suitable for a first time dive. It is not a matter of not bring free. I don’t think you would want a bad experience. Your perception is we are not free…we’re trying to get the best conditions so that you can enjoy your first time dive. We are aware that this can mess up your plans when you are here for vacation. If we could control the weather and surf we would be able to accommodate .
We did a two-tank DSD and had an absolute blast — hands down one of the best dive experiences we’ve had! My partner had never dove before and I’m an instructor, so our expectations were high, and Fathom Five blew them out of the water. From the moment we walked in, it was a true five-star experience. Carlea was amazing — super knowledgeable, incredibly welcoming, and made the entire signup process effortless. She answered every question and got my partner genuinely excited (and confident!) about taking her first breaths underwater. Our DSD instructor, Alyssa, was absolutely phenomenal. I’ve worked with many instructors over the years, and her briefing and instruction were top-tier. She made the DSD fun, approachable, and above all, extremely safe. If you’re considering a Discover Scuba Dive, this is the place to do it. Huge shout-out to the entire Fathom Five crew — truly spectacular and highly recommended!
Awesome review! Thank you for taking your time to share your experience . Our crew loves the feedback. Thank you for choosing Fathom Five.
Had an amazing solo birthday trip to Kauai. So HAPPY I got to immerse myself in Kauai and under the sea with my fellow fish friends. I am also grateful that I was paired with an amazing PADI instructor (REID). He was knowledgeable, patient, and respectful. He attended to our needs and his instructions for the skills were thorough and had build my confidence to submerge under the ocean without worries. I felt safe and secured with him as my instructor. I was able to see turtles, eels, octopus, and cool fishes. Most importantly, this experience made me want to scuba dive more. It’s truly a remarkable and life changing experience. Made me appreciate the ocean life and its beauty. Thank you Fantom Five for a FABULOUS TIME!
Love your review! This was me 36 years ago and I still have an incredible love of scuba. We appreciate you taking the time to share your experience. We look forward to many more dives with you in the future.
My friends and I had an incredible time with Reid from Fathom Five Divers. I'm an experienced diver, but it was my friends first time diving, and I couldn't have been more impressed with Reid. The instructions were clear, safety was top notch, and the dive itself was incredible - over nine turtles and a ton of fish. If you've never done scuba before, this will get you hooked. It was so much fun.
Awesome review! Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with Reid and Fathom Five.
My two teenagers had an awesome time discovering SCUBA with Devin! They got to see many kinds of beautiful fish, eels, and turtles, and even heard whale song.
Thank you for the great review! We appreciate you taking the time to share your experience with Fathom Five.
Our dive was AMAZING! I was super nervous to go at first, but Devin was so nice and made me feel super comfortable and safe. She was very knowledgeable about diving as well as the marine life we saw throughout our dive. Definitely the highlight of our trip! Thank you so much!!
So true! Snorkeling is like looking into an aquarium where diving is in the aquarium. Thank you for taking the Time to write a review and choosing Fathom Five.
Lots of fun! We went diving for a company retreat. Everyone had a good time and the staff were great. The sea life is amazing!
Thank you for taking the time to write a review. We appreciate you and look forward to your return.
Great instruction from Devon, very patient and informative . Lots of wildlife and great location. Would recommend again.
Thank you for taking the time to write a review. We love hearing from our divers.

Awesome review!! Thank you for sharing your experience with Fathom Five.
