This was my second time scuba diving and definitely the best time! This crew was helpful, friendly, and knowledgeable. Highly recommend!! You get to practice basic skills in the ocean... read more and then complete 2 dives in 2 different locations.
June 20, 2022We were referred to HDA by another dive shop that was busy, we lucked out big time!
My wife and I are PADI advanced certified, but our kids (15... read more years old) are pretty much first time divers. Jake was amazing, super patient and extremely knowledgeable, as a parent I felt very safe leaving my kiddos with him. One of my kids previously refused to dive, but with Jake's shepherding he went down and thoroughly enjoyed himself! Their first dive was a practice one to help build their skills and confidence.
My wife and I were paired with Lauren, whilst we were advanced certified it's been about 5 years since our last dive, so we were super rusty! Lauren could have made us feel inexperienced due to this, but instead she was amazing, like Jake she was also super experienced!
At one point, my wife felt ill (emotional!) (a side effect from the antibiotics) and the team took great care of her until she was ready enough to go on our second dive. Our second dive was with the kids which was amazing. We loved sharing that first experience with them.
I would thoroughly recommend HDA and I will ensure that next time I'm in Waikiki I book with them in advance - I recommend you do the same!
P.S. Lauren we're sorry we forgot to give your hair tie back!

One of the best diving experiences I've had! First of all even though we went on the boat with non certified divers, we went our separate ways and got our... read more own private tour. We went out to Horseshoe reef and saw sea turtles, nudibranchs, a black tip shark, eels, and a lot of different fish, and the visibility was great. Our tour guide Esthela was wonderful, she was always looking out for us as well and knew all of the species we saw. We even saw a lot of dolphins on the boat ride and got free snacks!

Had a great dive to the Sea Tiger with Caleb as our dive master. He was knowledgeable, provided a good run down / pre-dive briefing and executed a safe... read more and fun dive. Plus he even provided some entertainment during the safety stop. Who knew you could do that or be that creative with exhaust bubbles? If you are wondering what I'm referring to, you'll have to book a dive and see for yourself! Boat was great, solid operation all around.
June 12, 2022Had an amazing time diving with Esthela at Hawaiian Diving Adventures! Went to Sea Tiger and it was great. Saw tons of huge turtles, eels, and nudibranchs. The crew was... read more super nice and I loved the small sized group. HIGHLY recommend.

Great place to go scuba diving!
I originally tried booking with other companies but they had scheduling issues or did not allow GoPros, Hawaiian Diving Adventures was the only place... read more that had both easy online reservations and allowed GoPros so it was a no brainer. I booked the beginners course which was about $170/person.
We were running late due to traffic and trying to find parking and really appreciated that they waited for us. The whole crew was super friendly and awesome. I had a great scuba diving experience and we got to see some rare species.
Overall highly recommend HDA! You'll have an amazing time.Cheyne T.
