First dive - It was an amazing experience! Georgia is a great instructor and a lot of fun! It started as a learning dive at the Sheraton pool and ended up along the reef swimming with turtles a couple of hours later. Highly Recommend!

Terrific would highly recommend - Dive experience was excellent. Our certified diver was very patient. We had several problems with dive mates ranging from one fellow losing his flipper and not mentioning it until we made it out for our test grounds to a person getting sick from floating.

Three first timers have a great experience - The best part of our experience was the Instructor. Dominic was patient almost to a fault as we had a 12 year old with some pretty high anxiety. He stuck with it (and us) and eventually we got to experience that whole new world. TWO (!) Sea Turtles and plenty of other sites all for three beginners. And the snacks afterwards were a huge pick me up. Will definitely go again.

Thank you Georgia, and Kauai Dive! - We booked with dive Kauai for my second resort dive, and my 13-year-old daughter’s first resort dive. I was only nervous because I wanted my daughter’s first time to be amazing as it could be so she’d want to do it again. As it turned out, Georgia from Kauai dive was amazing! She made us both feel incredibly comfortable with both the concept of diving at the skills exercises. By the time we got down into the water, we both felt totally comfortable and had an amazing experience. Georgia guide us to the most amazing sites, so many turtles and varieties of fish. Before we knew it, our tanks were expiring we had to get out. Thank you Georgia for an amazing time! I highly recommend Georgia and Kawaii dive for non-certified diverse, who want to try it out.

Cool experience! - Our family of four enjoyed our scuba learning experience. The education was thorough and we were well supported with our instructor and additional staff taking photos. We saw a trumpet fish, eel, and a turtle swam right by us! Cool experience for sure! It would have been good to know that at the meeting point there is no building - just your vehicle, the scuba van with supplies, and a porta potty - right near the water access so convenient but no amenities.

Location and the team not good for scuba diving, get your snorkeling gear and go to the beach - Do not waste your time and money; get snorkeling gear and go to a beach. I had totally different expectations from diving in Kauai. Be advised that you will not get any of the attached photos or views. The location lacks access to any marine life just feet from the shore. Usually, dives take place in the middle of the ocean, taking you on a boat. Our instructor did not manage the time well, so we ran out of time before diving deep into the water. Usually, a team runs the tour, but in our case, only one person was in charge. I personally asked multiple times what would happen if someone in our group failed to continue the dive, and I was told that the tour would continue with the rest of the group. However, in our experience, as soon as one person in the group decided not to continue, we were all forced to return to the shore and had no option to dive more than couple feet into the ocean
