Fantastic 2 Reef Dive - I dived with Waikiki Dive Center in early July and had a fantastic time. We headed out and did 2 reef dives (max depth of 54ft both times), the first dive was 35 minutes and the second dive was 45 minutes. Kate was our dive master and she did a great job at making me feel safe and comfortable. I am a relatively new diver and despite already being certified she was more than happy to check my equipment and give me some friendly reminders as to the dive “do’s and don’ts”. Whilst on the dive we saw a lot of different fish, sea turtles and coral reef.
They do offer a wreck dive which I would like to try next time but this dive was a great option to get back into the water and ensure I felt comfortable with the equipment.

Find another Dive Operator - Decent dives from a relatively small boat. Six divers plus the dive master. This also meant that when one diver was done, we all were. Our first dive on a wreck was nice. We were down about 20 minutes at 100’. The second dive was to only 50’ on a reef, but was called at thirty-five minutes (no bueno).
Lots of small fish and many turtles to see.
The dive gear looked well maintained (I travel and dive with my own gear), but the van used to transport from the dive shop to the dock definitely was not. The brakes were shot. Rather than ride back to the shop, I took an Uber back to my accommodation instead.
The dives were on the expensive side and they charged $19 a tank for Nitrox which is the most that I have ever had to pay for this.
I probably would not dive with this company again.

Ok diving experience, could’ve been better. - I think could’ve been a 5/5 but the Dive Guide was also an instructor with a new diver that ended up cutting our first dive ship wreck dive to about 20 min total time as the student was short on air. If you’re going to instruct, then have another dive guide available or let the buddy teams go until they are done.
The next dive was a reef dive where there was hardly any sea life and note much of interest to see. I had higher hopes for our first time in Hawaii.
On the positive end, all the people we dealt with were very friendly and professional. I wish I had more time to do more dives and I’m confident we would’ve had better success!
Will give them another go on my next trip to Hawaii.
