Unforgettable
Had 2 first time divers, 1 with a single resort dive, and 1 with only 4 previous dives. Cody Kowal was our instructor and he did a phenomenal job making everyone feel comfortable and safe. We did the 2 dive experience and while only 2 of the 4 took the second dive that was incredible and well worth it. Cody took us out along the reef where we experienced beautiful schools of fish, turtles, an eel, and brightly colored varieties of fish everywhere you looked - like taking a swim in your favorite salt water fish tank! Definitely worth taking the plunge if you can carve out the time - and if you get Cody that’s a bonus because he is outstanding and made the experience special!!!

Fun family scuba diving adventure
Kody was a great dive instructor. Approached teaching my son and I from a physics (buoyancy and pressure) standpoint which we both appreciated. Now my son is excited to try scuba diving again. This was his favorite part of our Hawaii trip. Did a 2 tank dive and saw lots of giant turtles, puffer fish, lots of sea urchins, various tropical fish and Kody mentioned seeing a monk seal by an old anchor, but we didn't spot it. We also saw a trumpet fish and 2 octopi.

Amazing experience!
This was an incredible experience! Cody was my instructor and was very knowledgeable! Being able to do 2 dives was awesome since we saw different wildlife on each dive. He knew the area well and I felt safe the whole time. Definitely got my moneys worth! Saw a massive school of bait fish and a large barracuda! Plus several turtles. Kōloa landing is a great spot with lots of wildlife, fish and corals to look at. 10/10 will go again!

10/10 recommend for beginners
Cody was an excellent instructor and an overall awesome person to work with. It was a bit stressful at first, but he walked my wife and I through very carefully which made it all that much better once we took the plunge. One of the most exciting and memorable things we've done in our lives. 10/10 recommend. Thanks Cody

Poor customer care!!!
Couldn’t go . Ends up we have high blood pressure and hyper cholesterol , both controlled but no one told us we needed remission from our doctors to do this. It seems trip advisor went through viator
. Awful , the people at the dive shop were great so not only did we loose our money but the dive instructor lost his pay too. I think I am. Done with trip advisor and viator two.

Buyer Beware - something smells fishy
Well I wish I could tell you something great about this adventure, but I wouldn't know because we never made it. They send tlla medical release the day before. NOTE: well after the 24-hour refundable cancelation period has passed. If you are over 45, on meds, and a few other things you have to have a physician's release, which would be easy to get if they sent they form when booked - 3 weeks ago. BUT dont worry, they have a doctor you can call and pay another $200 that will release you over the phone! So here is my issue with that: you can't take my word that I'm a healthy 55 YO, but if I pay your doctor $200 send him my ID and give him my pulse he can tell you that I'm healthy enough for this excursion! How can that be when he has never even seen me? Furthermore, how is that even legal or actually safe?
So, if you are over 45 and are looking forward to this adventure, like we were, reach out in advance so you can get an actual medical release and enjoy yourself, instead of being stressed out and pressured to use their doc-in-box, which we did not do, because as stated above it doesn't sound ethically sound. AND now we're out the full amount of the excursion and have a bad taste for this group!
