This was my first ever scuba dive, and I loved it!! I went solo and was nervous as a first time diver, but there were probably about 10 other first time divers, and they spent a lot of time making sure you knew all the skills and were comfortable before going in. Even though I went alone, you're paired into groups of 4 for each instructor, who you stay close with the entire time. We also were first taken into the water with the instructor 1-1, so they individually get you situated and familiar with all the necessary skills. (This is technically a 4 hour excursion, but expect a majority of it to be tutorial, driving to/from the docks, and the boat ride to/from the dive site, rather than just diving.) The dives themselves were so much fun! The visibility was great, we were able to see so many fish, tons of sea urchins, even a small shark and an octopus! Definitely the highlight of my trip.

Great diving with this company - I felt safe and comfortable diving with the dive masters, and we saw a lot of sea life on the reef. I would definitely dive with Waikiki Dive Center again. I ended up completing the wreck dive as well, which was also a great excursion.

It is what it is . You get to dive along side of large turtles. Other than that the reefs were small and not much to see , other than a large pipe with a little coral and some small life around it.. I went during rainy season “not recommended “ and visibility was around 10 to 15 feet at best. I was given the opportunity to reschedule, but due to my time left on the island I could not .

Very chill and hospitable. My instructor Natasha was extremely helpful and accommodating. Yoshi, the captain of the boat is amazing. Highly recommend.

Taylor and the captain, (who I forgot his name) did an amazing job making me feel comfortable and supported! Would definitely go back
