Nice staff, nice boat, really boring dive for certified diver. Dive site was close to harbor. So close you could see the boats and read the flags. There were non-certified divers who went out with one instructor and I was with another instructor. I mistakenly assumed for a 2 tank dive we would have 2 dive sites, but this was wrong. We pulled out of the harbor and didn’t go far before we anchored. The dive site was a small reef, not colorful and only a few fish. Snack between dives consisted of packaged Rice Krispie treats and water. After not seeing anything the first dive, I was surprised when geared up to go down again in the exact same spot. It wasn’t colorful or very fun. Ask about dive sites before you go. I wish I had.

You are correct. The first tank is introductory training class. The second tank is to cruise. For certified divers, it’s two dive sites from the first tank. Do feel free to Try our shipwreck dives and night dives. We do different sites depending on your experience and certification level.

instructors Micah, Jim, and Chad are GREAT instructors. I came to earn my PADI Open Water dive Certification. The confined dive was done at lagoon which worked great. Since I needed a little extra help, I switched to a private lesson. Instructor Chad was patient with me. He explains everything clearly. Instructor Chad was with me for the first boat dive. he made sure that I accomplished all the skills. I was able too see a turtle in the open water dive. For the second boat dive, Instructor Devon was superb. He made sure O was able to see many fish including a shark. Instructor Jim was great for the group confined dive portion. He recognised that a group setting was not right for me. he suggested a private lesson. I am proud to say that I did pass the PADI Open Water Diver certification.

We had a great dive with Waikiki Dive Center. It was easy to book when I called and the staff were super helpful. We had 7 dive masters on our boat hosting 18 divers. They were highly qualified. Taylor was our DM and she did a great job at watching over and guiding us on Mid Pipe and Horseshoe Reef. I have 30 dives and my daughter is a newly certified diver. It was her first ocean dive and a great experience to see a reef, 5 turtles, an eagle ray, eels and colorful fish. The dive shop has a variety of equipment for sale. We picked up a t-shirt and stickers. I was hoping for a patch and embroidered beach towel but no luck. This is one of the most professional dive shops you will find and you can count on them to take care of you.
