What we noticed was , other scuba diving companies treated their guests' scuba dive in Hawaii adventures like it was some bad joke. putting as many people on the diving boats as possible; very similar to what is said in the dive business as "cattle herding." With their high advertising budget and lack of customer service, diving boats were over packed and unsafe. Dive ratios for the top advertising dive companies are approximately six divers for every divemaster/instructor. Yikes ! Honolulu scuba diving should not be like this whatsoever.

In-water rescues were very common and quit frankly we were tired of rescuing customers from inexperienced divemasters/instructors. For obvious reasons, Oahu needed a dive company that is safe, people friendly, all about customer service and takes you where you want to go.

The unfortunate truth is, most scuba diving companies take anyone on any dive, regardless of their level of skill, age and health, endangering not only the customer in question but also all the other guests that are on the same dive. We pledge not to ever perform this way. We keep the ratios 3 to 1*(ratio can increase to meet the dive groups needs) That is 3 customers to 1 scuba diving instructor. Bigger groups we increase the scuba instructor accordingly. Before you book a dive , ask about the company's safety record. Better yet, just do an Internet search, you may be surprised on what you find.

"Yes we may lose out on business but safety is our #1 goal."

Honolulu Scuba Diving

"Our Instructors have over 5000 dives ! ALL INCIDENT FREE !"

We take our teaching/guiding very serious and only use seasoned experienced SCUBA diving instructors to meet this criteria. We have no newly certified instructors with 100 dives or less that just moved to Hawaii last month as with our competitors have. Our staff is 100% legal, U.S. residents who are properly insured with Vicencia and Buckley Insurance Services. Each of us are firm advocates of D.A.N. Diver's Insurance and are properly covered. Not to mention CPR and general first aid. As a matter of fact our Hawaii shipwreck guru Jeff is a Red Cross instructor teaching on average 4-8 classes per month.(Way to go Jeff!)

On average, we do approximate 60-100 dives a month which allows us to stay constantly proficient in scuba and up to date on local weather, Not to mention we know these Hawaii reefs better than our family- getting lost is for other companies. How about this, we dive all points of Oahu (weather conditions dictate this of course) so we understand where the optimal dive conditions will be at. All dives will have a Scuba Instructor to help you out, not divemasters. We are all PADI/NAUI/SSI SCUBA Diving Instructors. Therefore we are all able to teach, guide and properly administer scuba diving ratings. (Divemasters can only supervise scuba instructors and perform underwater tour guide services.)

With many dive operators to choose from we would be honored to have the opportunity to show you some of Oahu's best scuba diving. If you haven't scuba dived in a while, don't let this keep you from diving here on Oahu. Our instructors will review, show you how to properly work the gear and handle yourself below. Not to mention we always enjoy sharing dive tips with you.

Are you a first time diver, or would you like to introduce a friend or family member to scuba diving? We have a great introductory dive at the reefs certified divers dive on!
