Great Dive!
Today I took a friend for a Discover Scuba dive with Dive Oahu.
I always dive with Dive Oahu as thier customer service is excellent. Today the service was better than excellent. Colton took my friend through the skills required and then led us through two shallow reef dives. He is a great teacher.
Nacho, the boat captain, was, as usual, superb in comunicating and in ensuring safety for divers entering
and exiting the water. Our friend loved the experience !
Mahalo for a great day

Scuba diving
It was my first scuba diving, the guys were so prepared, patient and professionals, I felt so safe in the ocean with them. The diving was my best experience during my hawaiian vacation.

a life changing experience!!!
What an incredible experience! I forgot some of the staffs name but every single crew member were so friendly, knowledgeable, and very patient. It took me minute to get use to releasing pressure out of my ear but they never made me feel rushed at all and took there time. We got to dive 40 feet down and seeing the coral reefs and all of the aquatic life was amazing. I can't emphasize enough how friendly everyone is. Now I want to get certified thanks to the incredible experience the team has left with me and all of their amazing hospitality.

Experience Diving Oahu
Our hotel, The Ritz-Carlton, recommended this dive company, and although it was among the more expensive options, the quality of the experience fully justified the cost.
Our group consisted of myself, a certified diver, my 11-year-old son, and my 13-year-old niece, both of whom participated in an introductory dive. The experience was exceptionally well organized. As we were the only three participants on the whole boat, the instructors were able to provide individualized attention throughout the excursion. Rachel, Riley, and Nacho demonstrated professionalism, patience, and a friendly approach, ensuring that both beginners felt comfortable and confident in the water.
The excursion included two extended dives during which the instructors guided us to a variety of marine life and underwater features. Highlights included multiple groups of sea turtles, a juvenile whitetip reef shark resting in a cave, and abundant schools of tropical fish. Each dive continued until our air supply dictated a safe ascent, allowing us to maximize our underwater time. We were on the boat from approximately 7:30 a.m. until 10:15 a.m.
Most importantly, my son felt safe and well supported throughout the experience. He thoroughly enjoyed the dives and has since expressed a strong interest in becoming a certified diver himself.
