First Time Introductory Scuba Dive

Overview

On our late morning dive trip, we visit two shallow reefs (average depth of 30′ to 40′ / 9m-12m). We will see hundreds, even thousands of colorful reef fish. More than 25% are endemic to Hawaii, meaning they are only found here. There is a lot of great coral too, with 40% of our corals endemic to Hawaii. Of course, we can never guarantee specific wildlife sightings. But there is a great chance you will see other marine life such as eels, sea turtles, rays, octopuses, and dolphins. We see turtles on over 85% of our dives!

We wanted to introduce our kids to diving and it had been years since my husband and I dove, so we chose the Coral Reef Dive. It was 3 1/2 hours total with two dives (rest in between). Our Dive Master was Caleb and he was excellent. Clear, concise and relaxed. He made it fun and interesting. I recommend this as a good intro for newbies. The crew do all the hard work with setting up the tanks and gear and cleaning afterwards. Caleb even helped our kids with their BCDs and buoyancy. The boat Captain was very personable and everyone was professional and safety conscious.

This was my first time scuba diving. Kaleb was my dive instructor and he made me feel comfortable from the start. He gave a thorough explanation of all the safety items we will complete and then did them pretty much when we got into the water. He was by my side the entire time and kept on checking if I was OK. As far as I was concerned, I hit the jackpot on seeing undersea life to include turtles, octopi, eels, and so many colorful fish. Then we did another dive. Saw more turtles, a puffer fish, and many other fish most people see only on National Geographic. I highly recommend Hawaiian Diving Adventure. The crew was really friendly and down to earth.

So glad you had a great time. When you get certified, there is so much more to see and do. Mahalo

Enjoyable 2nd dive, but this is really not a course of beginners. If I hadn’t had prior experience, I would not have been able to do the dive. Water was extremely choppy, and a short practice of the skills in the middle of the ocean is not appropriate for a beginner diver. First experience diving can be scary and you should be given the opportunity to practice in a pool before you go into the open ocean. My daughter’s friend was so scared that she couldn’t go, and another person on the dive was also too scared to dive.

I'm so glad you had a great time underwater. We've been conducting these programs for over 15 years with a perfect safety record. Unfortunately, it was a little choppy that day. As much as we try, we have not figured out how to control the weather. The good part is that choppiness does not extend underwater and does not affect our dive. Mahalo
