We booked the coral reef dive for two certified divers, one intro diver and two snorkelers.
Caleb was friendly and helpful answering questions and helping us confirm our way... read more to the boat.
It was just the five of us, Evan and captain Bailey.
Evan was really good with explaining the process to my daughter for her first scuba experience.
Our first stop was Nautilus Reef and then onto Horseshoe Reef, we saw lots of fish, coral, a cool shrimp we would have missed without Evan's keen eye and an eagle ray in the distance, super cool.
Fully aware of the disclaimer that they cannot guarantee ideal snorkeling conditions, my wife and another daughter decided to join us. While they had a great time on the boat, the snorkeling is better left to a snorkel-focused trip.
All-in-all, great staff and a great experience, thank you!

First time scuba diving. - This was my first time scuba diving. Kaleb was my dive instructor and he made me feel comfortable from the start. He gave a thorough explanation of all the safety... read more items we will complete and then did them pretty much when we got into the water. He was by my side the entire time and kept on checking if I was OK. As far as I was concerned, I hit the jackpot on seeing undersea life to include turtles, octopi, eels, and so many colorful fish. Then we did another dive. Saw more turtles, a puffer fish, and many other fish most people see only on National Geographic.
I highly recommend Hawaiian Diving Adventure. The crew was really friendly and down to earth.

Diving Fun - Diving in Hawaii has become a tradition for me and my family. Life doesn’t get better when you get to see a young family member learn and hone their skills... read more in a sport such as diving and you have a company (Hawaiian Diving Adventures) leading the way. The folks have been terrific. Dana and Bailey, and Caleb and Andrew and the rest could not have been any better to work with. Some days it was just us on the boat but they were all so attentive. Having a wonderful group and safety conscious giving personal attention (switching gear and making sure everything checks before hitting the water).has really helped to make diving more fun and relaxing and opened the world more to the the new young diver. We have truly enjoyed seeing what the underwater world looks like as the guys point things out to us.
HDA is our go to dive trip group!

Super Efficient and Fun Dive - We booked our dive one day in advance and the team with Hawaiian Diving Adventures were super friendly and made everything very easy. It has been over a year since... read more my last dive and they made everything super efficient, getting our gear all set up for us and giving us a rundown of everything before we went out. The shipwreck dive was awesome.

Absolutely the best on the island. I have dived with 3-4 other shops on Oahu and this crew knows what they are doing. The equipment is top notch, the attention... read more is personal and the groups are small.
First trip with them was the afternoon 2 reef dives. I enjoy these types of dives as they are typically longer, go at a slower pace which suits me as an amateur photographer. While students and beginners are frequently on the afternoons, that's not a problem for me. Everyone has to learn at some point, and I'm not perfect. Beautiful coral gardens, abundance of fish, turtles, a white tip shark and even endemic green lionfish and a Whitley's (!!!) boxfish.
Second trip, owner suggested I take the morning wreck and reef. So glad I did. Stellar diving, good vis, and safe wreck swim throughs with frogfish and turtles. Again, the reef was like above, this time with a saddleback butterflyfish, more lionfish, turtles and nudis.
Please enjoy their aloha hospitality and a hui hou!
PS as an older woman, diving single, I was treated wonderfully.

AMAZING!! - Our guide was absolutely amazing! He went above and beyond to make me feel safe and calm. I’ve always had a fear of being in large bodies of water, so... read more the first time getting into the water with the guide I started panicking but he was right there with me and instantly helped calm me down. The rest of the dive went great after that. Just remember to breathe! Will definitely be going back and hope to get our guide Evan again.

Great diving experience - Very fun and knowledgeable divemasters. They had the equipment fully ready for us so all we had to do we slip on the BCD and flippers and do some... read more final checks. We saw numerous turtles and colorful fish. We are recently certified so they gave us good pointers at the start. We felt safe and taken care of throughout the dive.
Couldn't ask for a better experience. Very nice instructors. Made my first dive feel very comfortable and safe. Also had great snacks! 1000% recommend.

My husband went out with Evan and Faith and they were fantastic. I'd never gone diving before and we decided to do this before I was able to get certified.... read more I did have slight panic after jumping into the water but the instructor calmed me down very quickly and made sure that I was having a good time. The location was beautiful and the team working the boat was super welcoming and helpful. 10/10 would book again. Definitely bring cash to tip the great team but they also have venmo available. Location was within walking distance from Hilton Hawaiian Village. They handled and provided all gear and let you go down for two diving sessions.

Our family of 3 advanced open water divers had 2 amazing boat dives with Caleb and his crew on the deep/reef dive combo. The service was excellent, the dives were... read more amazing and the knowledge Caleb has of the Oahu waters is unparalleled- he knows where to find all the best spots where we found critters big and small, and gave us informative and helpful dive briefings that covered everything you need to know about the dive sites. Thank you for a wonderful experience!
