Turtles, Dolphins and Beautiful Reefs - Heather, Nacho and Ami were amazing guides! We had an awesome group diving together. We dove both Turtle Canyon and Nautilus reefs. We saw giant Honu (sea turtles) and eels. While on the boat ride to the second dive we saw a pod of dolphins. This was an experience I will never forget. Thanks, guys! Mahalo!

Excellent diving, excellent crew, excellent gear - very easy half-day diving excursion. Can't wait to bring my family. - I was in Honolulu on business trip, and just had one day to play. I chose to do a quick dive trip, so I signed up for the 2-tank shallow reef dive off Oahu. Very glad I did. It was very easy to find, easy to get geared up (they provided everything), and easy dives. Very friendly staff, and excellent equipment! I've done a lot of tourist diving like this, in many, many places, and this was probably the best equipment I've seen - and I've seen a lot! The dives were very good, too. Definitely shallow (never got below 50'), but lots of turtles on first dive, and lots of sealife and hard corals on the second dive, all very close to Waikiki beach, ironically, but excellent boat, excellent crew, and excellent time - and all in, only took me away from business for a half-day. I would do it again easily. Thank you Dive Oahu.

Dive Oahu Shallow Reef dives with a personal touch - We had a great experience withDive Oahu. We had not been diving for more than 10 years, so we decided to go with a private guide to help us refresh our skills. Jared was a great and patient guide. We also booked an introductory dive experience for our two kids and the personal attention they got was so reassuring for us and our kids had a great time. Ami and Alex took their time teaching the kids their skills and guiding them on their dives. We went to Turtle Canyon and the reef they called Nautilus; we saw plenty of turtles, fish and even an eel. Our captain Matt was great and Adam the others were really friendly.

An Amazing Experience - This trip was exactly what we were hoping for. The small groups allow for a relaxed dive experience that can match everybody’s skill level. We went with Heather and she did a great job of pointing out various things to see from giant sea turtles to octopus and colorful schools of fish. She was also very patient. I would be very comfortable with her as a new diver. At one point we saw a cluster of 7 giant sea turtles all cleaning themselves on the rocks/coral/fish. It was incredible, and I did not want to leave. The rest of the crew (Nacho and Colton) were also very kind and professional ensuring we all had a great time while onboard. I highly recommend Dive Oahu.

Diving off the coast of Oahu - The crew that made it all happen was Nacho, Heather, and Amelia. Between the three of them they keeping everyone entertained whether we were on the boat under the sea. They where very informative. That was my 10th dive with them and I will for sure be going back for many more. Thank you Dive Oahu for an amazing excursion.

Completely Awesome All Around! - What an amazing day! Our family highly recommend Dive Oahu! From booking the reservation, needing to make a change, to the kindness, helpfulness and attentive boat crew, Dive Oahu is awesome! Our crew (Jarrod, Nacho, Colton and Heather) were great! We are a family of two certified divers and two discovery divers so this tour was perfect for all! A special shout out to Jarrod for his patience and helpfulness in helping me through the skills so I could enjoy the dives!

PADI Certifications on Oahu - My daughter and I completed our Open Water and Advanced Open Water certifications with the Dive Oahu team. Colton was our primary instructor for both sets of open water dives, with several other highly professional instructors assisting. The instruction was fast-paced and high quality, with the goal of getting us qualified and diving with minimal hassle and maximum flexibility. I had to reschedule several times for both courses and they were awesome about making things work around our schedules. Kudos to Matt and Nacho as the boat captains. This operation works super smoothly!
