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.

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.

Me & my sister wanted to get our PADI so we went to the dive shop to get some information. The girl behind the counter was very friendly and explained everything very good to us. Because of this we decided to get out PADI at the Waikiki Dive Center. All the instructors are very nice, and very very professional. They all made us feel very comfortable and during the first 3 practice dives the instructors were all very patient. We got our PADI without any trouble and because of our nice experience we decided to buy a three-dive-package. These dives were amazing, and eventough I was a little bit nervous for the wreckdive I did it anyway. Again, because the divemasters were so nice and patient. It was the best and i wanna tank the whole crew for this amazing experience!!
Special thanks to Abby, Christian, Jared, Josh, Nick, Chad and Yoshi!!!

Here is what I wrote to the dive shop.
July 14th 2023 - Final Scuba day
Like to extend a very special gratitude to all of you at Waikiki Dive Center.
I used to live in Hawaii and had my son David PADI certified when he was 14. Now his son (my grandson) is 16 and recently PADI Open Water certified.
We wanted a three generation scuba experience and a quality Scuba Dive Shop to rely on.
Over the four dives we booked with Waikiki Dive Center. We thoroughly enjoyed the professionalism, personable care, hospitality and sense of humor from our dive leaders Alex, Christian, and Abby, who made us feel like family.
Most importantly, these dive leaders had our absolute confidence from they’re obvious professionalism.
You guys at Waikiki Dive Center are awesome, and we are so grateful for you part in making our family reunion such an amazing adventure!
We will be back, and hopefully with another generation.
Thank you 🙏

I had a great time diving with Alex! He’s a great instructor and was able to point out lots of critters. Steve was a fun captain & was so helpful getting us in and out of the water. We saw so many huge turtles! I really liked how the shop provided transport to the marina. I would definitely dive with them again! It’s a smaller operation with a more personal feel which I love.
