    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.

    Best SCUBA dive shop in Waikiki. Safety is first and master divers are friendly but strict and keep a close eye on divers. Boat ride is short and a shuttle from the shop is provided to Marina. Dive shop is conveniently located at walking distance from hotels. Only if I could do a dozen dives, but greatly enjoyed three with Alex Nic and Josh. Thank you very much. Dan

    Abby was a great diver master. Super friendly and knowledgeable of the marine life. They provide everything for you including a wetsuit. The gear was a little outdated but still good. The sites were a 5 min boat ride. Saw a lot of marine life with huge turtles.

    Great dive shop. They are very organized and do a great job with guided dives. I have tried other shops around the island and this one is the best shop for offshore boat diving. Josh is an excellent guide and does an outstanding job ensuring everyone knows what is expected for each dive. Keep in mind these are group dives. When one person comes up, we all come up. If you are concerned about ending your dive early or want a longer dive, consider a private session. This was my second trip with Waikiki Dive Center. I highly recommend them.

    Great selection in the shop! My wife and I did a boat excursion with Nick as our instructor. He was a great guide--very attentive and helpful. On the dives we saw a couple sharks, several turtles, an octopus, and a ton of smaller fish.

    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)

    Just went on my second night dive with Nick and Captain Jim! Saw the most epic looking glowing squid, several eels including a dragon moray, a few slipper lobsters, an old hermit, + more!!! Nick G is the best guide/instructor I’ve ever experienced 🙌🏽 He’s got a great eye for spotting the coolest creatures too! Knows his stuff. Felt very safe. Book now!

    Excellent! They provided an excellent memorable experience for our kids. That is all we wanted. Front desk staff were polite and practicing professional listening skills. Dive master RED and the boat crew were professional and committed to provide a great service. Attention to the safety factors were amazing. keep doing your best job. Mahalo

    Went to 1) Sea Tiger wreck and 2) Kewalo pipe, and both were amazing! So many turtles and amazing sights. Highly recommend for all levels of certification. Photo is from the second dive. So cool! Definitely coming back.

    We booked last minute an 6:45am trip and it all worked out great. We got all instructions in detail via email. We were a small group of 5 and out dive master and the boat captain were very attentive and friendly. The dives itself were fantastic (wreck and reef) and everyone had fun. We will come back and can recommend the Waikiki dive center.

    Very friendly staff members! Red was our tour guide and Instructor for AOW! He was professional, knowledgeable and took us to Fantastic sites! He was able to train my parents (50+ years old and only speaks Mandarin) with 0 concerns!

    Unforgettable experience. From start to finish, the team at this place impressed me with their professionalism, knowledge, and dedication to ensuring a safe and enjoyable dive. I also want to express my gratitude towards Mike and Josh, who served as my diving coaches throughout the trip. Their expertise and passion for diving were evident from the moment we met. They were not only skilled instructors but also incredibly patient and supportive. Highly recommended!

    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.
