Arrived in Waikiki with my 2 teenage daughters and wanted to go on a dive. We signed up for a shipwreck dive and a reef dive at Oahu Diving. We are all PADI certified, but definitely not experienced divers. The folks at Oahu made us feel very comfortable and safe, especially since we hadn't dived in over 2 years. The equipment was excellent, first rate BCDs, wetsuits, fins and masks. Both dives were excellent. The shipwreck was very cool and good visibility. We saw a large number of gigantic sea turtles on the reef dive along with tons of gorgeous fish. Highly recommend!

Best part of our Hawaii trip.
Eric was an awesome instructor, made sure everyone knew and got to practice all the scuba techniques needed before we ever got in the water. He was great at pointing out interesting fish and sea life and making sure everyone was comfortable the entire time. The scuba diving was amazing! We got to do two dives. The first was an easier one to get comfortable in the scuba gear. We got to see lots of fish and eels and corral. For the second, Eric took us to where the turtles usually hang out. He knew exactly where take us and we got to see several giant turtles! Also

Best bang for your buck when wanting to have a great Hawaii scuba diving experience. WOW.....where do I start with such an amazing first dive. I got the hard sale and pressure feeling from other companies and then there was the no pressure, all positive and helpful vibe that Eric provided. The crew was super nice and accommodating as well creating the perfect environment to learn and feel comfortable considering it was our first time. Can't wait to come back and will book with Oahu Diving every time hands down.

SCUBA diving with Erik was a blast! Oahu Diving was highly recommended to me by a family member who had recently visited Honolulu and dove with him. I scheduled a dive tour for my boyfriend's birthday and our experience with them from start to finish was 5 stars! To SCUBA dive, you obviously need to know how to swim. There are also a few other requirements that must be met to participate and they're all laid out on their website. You also fill out a health questionnaire to ensure you're fit to dive. This experience is cash only, so be prepared to have your payment with you the day
