Island Divers Hawaii

Had a great time diving with these folks in May ‘23. None of us were SCUBA certified, but it didn’t matter. It was an all day affair, from the great training we received in the owner’s personal pool to the two dive sites where we spent about a half hour on each. My daughter wasn’t sure she’d be able to do it, but thanks to the great training and dive leadership we got from Anna, she was totally comfortable and had the time of her life. And not only is Anna a great instructor, but she’s an awesome underwater photographer who took all of these pictures and many more. Looking forward to doing it again next time we’re in the Islands.  Highly recommended!!!

These guys are 10/10 amazing. Absolutely made it fun to dive and get gear. So chill and friendly, creating such a comfortable atmosphere! First time ever to Oahu, ever diving here in Hawaii, these guys made me feel at ease and I had the best time. We went to the china walls and it was insane. They provided some great recs for dive spots and we'll have to check them out for the rest of our trip. Amazing people working there and could not recommend more :)

This company has everything you could ever want in a diving experience! The staff was friendly, helpful, and accommodating. Our wonderful guide Ed took plenty of pictures throughout our dive and pointed out lots of interesting things for us to see. We dove in a big group but he always looked out for everyone and took great care of us! Out of all the places we’ve tried in Hawaii, Island Divers has been the only place we’ve returned to consistently. Whether you’re by yourself or wanting to dive as a group, we’ve had nothing but positive things to say about the guides and staff here! We will definitely be back.

Super friendly and helpful staff. Our instructor, Anna, was so fun to work with. She always managed to get our group to laugh.

Even though I didn’t successfully scuba dive to the bottom, the staff were still so supportive and understanding.

I hope to try again as I practice equalizing my ears more outside of scuba diving!

Did the wreck and reef dive this morning with Ana and Lina the dive instructor and dive master candidate and had an awesome time!  100 foot visibility down to the F4U Corsair on the bottom of the ocean.  Ana took some incredible photos and sent them to us after!  I had not done many wreck dives before but Ana and Lina were there to make sure everything was safe and fun.  Next we did a drift dive at the Spitting Cave near China wall during which we saw several turtles, two reef sharks, a moray eel and a lot of other sea life.  Highly recommended, had a blast!

Cruise Pros

Waikiki Dive Center

I've been coming here over the last year.
Got my open water certification here and made several return visits to dive with them.
They are universally excellent guides and trainers.
The most recent dive was on the wreck in the bay, simply an amazing day out.
Humpback whales breached near the boat as we were prepping our gear.
Over the 2 tank dive we explored the wreck with several pass throughs great visibility.
On the 2nd dive we saw several sharks snoozing and lively, a sting ray, some eels and so many turtles it was hard to count.
Amazing day out.

I am a certified diver and took my family with and they did the beginner diver course. Jim was their instructor he was awesome. Would encourage anyone thinking of a beginner diving course or certified diver to check this place out. While they were working on their skills I was able to be in the water and checked out the reef just below the boat. Seen so many sea turtles, a shark and so many amazing fish.

I did my PADI open water certification with Waikiki Dive Center and I was impressed by their kindness, professionalism, and skills. Jim and Dylan were my instructors and I cannot say enough about how great they were. I had a blast and definitely will dive with them again. If you’re looking to do a casual dive or get certified, I totally recommend Waikiki Dive Center!

I can't say enough about this little gem of a shop.  THIS WAS A AWESOME EXPERIENCE.  Dillon, Chad and Marsha were absolutely the coolest instructors ever.  This was my 3rd time diving with tanks and it was the best time I have ever had.  They are super funny, knowledgeable and patient. They love their jobs for sure.  We got 2 45 min dives and because we had some experience Chad took us to the "secret cove"   It was awesome.....The whole trip....You have to go and experience this for sure!!  You guys rock ....The Vegas boys!

Loved diving with this shop. It was clean, organized, professional with equipment that was well maintained. The dive masters all made you feel welcome and safe. It was just an overall positive, enriching and satisfying experience. I hope to return in the future. Thank you Christian, Josh, James and Abbie. (Hope I got all your names right)

Hawaii Second Homes

HNL Travel Associates

I called trying to use their services. No one answered so I left a message, never received a call from them. Not real happy with the result. Their loss. I gave them a month to return my call.

Hawaii Homes International

Do not ever talk to Susan Weinik - guarantee you will regret. She's extremely unprofessional and is why realtors often have a bad name.

Vacations Hawaii

The travel agents are very helpful and nice , I only wish on there charter flights to Vegas that there airplane seats had some more room

Dana Tsuchitori was a great help when I needed to make last minute arrangements to join my dad in Las Vegas. My dad had been having more trouble getting around safely so I felt that I needed to keep an eye on him. Dana helped make the arrangements so that I could go and got me a great price! I am so thankful for him!

I would have given this place 5 stars but I did call and staff person took message twice plus I sent email on their website but no one replied after several days.  I had to call back and I was lucky to get Dana who helped me.  Kudos to Dana for his exceptional service, friendly, professional help in resolving my issue!

So glad they have a few outdoor tables! This is true comfort food. The deserts are made by the owner on-site and are AWESOME! The rest of the food is good too lol.

This was my husband and I 1st time flying with vacation Hawaii and omni air. We didn't know what to expect but the people within our circle told us that they are fantastic. And yes they are. The online website is very useful and straight forward. I had the pleasure of going to the actual office to pay for our trip. Their was a wait and only on rep at the time we went but no big deal.The representative was kind and she explained everything. Everything was super simple on the day of travel. My husband and I immediately noticed how much of our senior community books with Vacations.  Fay take very good care of our seniors. We are both in our 30s and we had the opportunity to speak and learn from our elders on the flight. I even got a potato macaroni salad recipe.  The only feature we did not utilise was the transportation service because we had rented a car. I recommend vacations to anyone who is travelling that wants a seamless experience and for caretakers who are taking the elderly on a trip. Look no further because vacations has the answer.

Aloha Scuba Diving Company

I usually dive with a different company on the island but I decided to try out Aloha & I am so glad I did! Captain Savannah was so wonderful & welcoming. The crew as a whole was phenomenal. Beautiful dives with beautiful people. I will definitely be diving with them from now on!

Did the 2 tank night dive onto the Sea Tiger.  Aloha ran a great crew (Captain Savannah and Dive Lead Sal) and the dives were rewarding.  Lots of sea life in and around the ship.  We paused on the ascent to go lights-off and were able to see the bioluminescent creatures doing their thing.

I highly recommend Aloha Scuba Diving Company. Justin, the owner, is a stellar human being! My cousin and I flew out to Oahu for a few days to get our open water dive certification. We had previously booked with a different scuba company and they totally screwed us over at the last minute so we had to scramble. I called Justin at Aloha Scuba Diving Company and explained our situation and he felt terrible and did everything in his power to help us out. Not only did he get us in at the last minute, he also gave us a huge discount due to our situation (which he was not obligated to do!). He fit us in the weekend schedule and made it work for us, and was so supportive and kind. We also got the best dive instructors (in my opinion), Michael and Libbie, who both went above and beyond. I highly recommend both of them! I felt so safe in the water with them. Justin really cares about his customers, and we are so grateful to Aloha Scuba Diving Company for giving us the best experience possible and helping us out! Only dive with this company on the island, you won't regret it!

I did a Discover Scuba with Aloha Scuba Diving Company and would not recommend them. This was back in April but have still been annoyed about my poor experience so much that I'm coming back to leave a review.

My partner and I were first time divers and were joined by several other newbies and some advanced divers completing a divemaster course.

We encountered large waves immediately after leaving the dock, with the weather conditions being bad enough that they changed the advanced group's dive location to be the same as the beginners and they required only one beginner diver at a time with the instructor. I was last to dive and very nauseous after almost 2 hours in the boat waiting for my turn. The boat captain was yelling at us that we were running out of time which definitely didn't relieve any pressure. Due to the nausea and time pressure, I wasn't feeling confident in the water after completing my skills test and didn't finish my dive. My only small victory was not throwing up like 3 of the other Discover divers + a divemaster.

My partner did complete her dive but also felt extremely rushed and that the instructors weren't paying close attention when she indicated having ear pain while diving. Her nose immediately started bleeding upon surfacing and had ear pain for several weeks afterwards.

The staff were generally very kind but I felt like Aloha should have cancelled our session given the poor conditions (which they did for the session after us) or reimbursed us.

Would give 6/5 stars.
Wife and I just finished advanced open water with Aloha Scuba.
The diving instructors, boat crew, and gear were all great.
Operations were very thorough, safety focused, and well planned, while ensuring that everyone had a great time.
Staff is very professional, knowledgeable, and fun.
Whole heartedly recommend this group for training, guiding, and fun dives.
We will definitely be using them when we return to Oahu in the future.
