Excellent underwater experience! - Past frequent visitor and mostly dove with Waikiki Dive Center. It has been a few years, so I was very overdue. Came in on Monday morning and worked with Anna to book a dive package. Started at 1:45 with 2 dives with Micah and Captain Jim. Couldn't ask for a better experience! Very long dives and great pace. Great company on the surface interval.
Tuesday night dive was with Devin and Captain Moose. We had another experienced diver join. Very long dives with great viz. Very friendly and knowledgeable staff. Great surface interval just flew by.
Thursday night dive was not in the cards. Zoe was always helpful and never idle. Extremely hard worker and great personality. Grateful for all interactions!
Friday started with an early morning wreck dive on the Sea Tiger with April, Jim, and Captain Yoshi. This dive had 11 divers in 2 groups. Jim and April did a great job of managing the groups, and Captain Yoshi was always on top of getting all divers safely on and off of the boat, checking gear, and just helpful overall. April is sharp as a tack and very easy on the eyes, and Jim will keep you Pasig, rolling your eyes, or both. His direct communication is often tempered by tests and comedy.
Friday night dives with Chad and Captain Moose was the final dives for this trip. There were 4 other divers on this trip. Oddly, my Sherwood Wisdom 3 dive computer would not turn on. Because my BC and regulator setup is a non-standard configuration, this could've been a really bad situation. Fortunately, Chad jumped right in with a creative and effective solution that saved the dive and didn't waste a bunch of time. *Ironically, this morning, my computer is working just fine with no issues at all. At the end of the final dive, by no failure of the WDC team, I ended up meeting the bad end of some Jellyfish. I was the only dummy in a rashguard and shorts. I'd still do it again and change nothing.
Thanks, WDC team, for your continued excellence over my 20+ years of diving with you. I'll see you again in a few months.

THANK YOU! - Sooo happy I decided to do my PADI Open Water with Waikiki Dive Center. Over the three days, my scuba masters were Jin and Devin - both patient, funny and supportive! Whenever I had difficulty in any skill, they reminded me to breathe and then had me try again until I got it. They also demonstrated patience with the other scuba divers. I feel ready and confident to scuba dive on my own now with everything from gear setup and the skills of scuba. All the girls who worked in the shop were really sweet too! Thank you for everything!

Awesome diving with Waikiki Dive Center - After talking on the phone and advisement on water conditions we picked Friday 18 Oct to dive and glad we did. Water conditions were clearing up and we had awesome viz. We dove the Sea Tiger then the Waikiki reef -pipeline. Both dives saw mutiple turtles, Each location had ray sightings and schools of reef fish. There were a few sharks under the edge of the ship and the pipeline had multiple Moray eels. Captain Steve was great and Divemaster (with a shark bandanda) Amy (??? sorry forgot your name girl) was super chill, friendly and knowledgeable pointing out sightings ensureing everyone was diving safely. The dive shop was a 3 minute walk from our hotel and the prices were more than reasonable. Due to the skill level of divers for the dive it was probably one of the most self service dives I've been on while vacationing but oh well it was a bargain price and awesome dive. I'd go with them again.

Fun and convenient dives near Waikiki - Great two reef dives, saw tons of sea turtles and even a shark. Devon was a great dive guide. Will use this dive shop the next time we're in Honolulu.

Great shop and dive masters - This is my third consecutive year diving with Waikiki Dive Center and they never disappoint! The whole process is very organized and high quality. We were with dive master Tay and Captain Steve this time and had a great experience. I would highly recommend.
Also one tip that may be useful for some. After checking in and getting outfitted at the shop, rather than drive to the marina in their van, I drove my own car over there. That way when the dive was done we were able to jump off the boat and get on with our day right away rather than wait for gear to be moved from the boat to the van and then get driven to the shop. It’s a small detail but I have to say I was very happy to have gone that route this year.
Either way you’ll have a great experience with the WDC crew!!

Amazing dive, amazing people, and had an unforgettable experience. - Great dive, Micah Yoshi and Anna were all awesome, but everyone who was working durring my dive were really cool. I got to see some sea turtles, a couple eels, a ray, a little shark, and lots of different fish. Well worth the experience, and from what I've heard, this is the place to go.

Safe, fun, and easy! - We had an excellent time diving with Waikīkī Dive Center! We did two reef dives, saw many turtles, eels, and a shark. They made it easy and safe. We would book with them again in the future.
