This was an amazing first time scuba diving trip! Ed was super helpful and did a great job making us feel safe! The crew handled all of the logistics and technical aspects of the dive so we could just enjoy the underwater adventure! I would highly recommend this trip!
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!

Ed was a great guide, showing me the basics of scuba diving before getting into the water. He was very patient, making sure we knew the ins and outs for our beginner scuba dive. Fantastic guide as well - we saw lot of wildlife (turtles, electric eels, etc.). Would highly recommend to those thinking about scuba diving for the first time!

It was my wife's first time to dive, so we signed up for the intro to SCUBA dive with Hawaiian Diving Adventures. They took us to two great locations teaming with marine life. Although my wife is probably not going to be a diver, she was able to get in the water and try out the gear with Ed, who was professional and patient and at the end of the day topped it off with some great restaurants to try. This was a great experience!

We thoroughly enjoyed our crew and the diving experience with Hawaiian Diving Adventures in Oahu. I am an experienced diver, and I was allowed the freedom to explore. My son was a first-time diver, and the introductory dive and dive masters made it a truly memorable experience for him. He loved scuba, and he cannot wait to start his scuba certification now.
Surprisingly, the dive sites we visited were just outside the Kewalo Harbor. So, almost all our time was spent diving instead of shuttling to and from the dive sites. The fish and marine life were great (saw turtles, shark, eel, octopus), and the visibility was very good.
Thank you!
