Aloha Scuba Diving Company is a veteran- and family-owned PADI 5 Star Instructor Development Center welcoming divers of every experience level in Honolulu. From first-time discoveries and certification courses to reef and wreck ad...
The crew here consistently earns praise for creating a welcoming, professional atmosphere on the water. Guides like Zoe, Daniel, Sam, and Swayze get frequent shoutouts for their knowledge and attentiveness, while Captain Justin and Derek keep things running smoothly. Divers regularly spot octopus, sea turtles, eagle rays, eels, and sharks at sites including the popular Sea Tiger wreck. The team handles everything from discovery dives to advanced certifications, and several reviewers mentioned helpful touches like motion sickness support and optional GoPro photo services that let you focus on the experience rather than documenting it. A couple of concerns surfaced in recent feedback. One reviewer noted frustration with feeling ignored during briefings and questioned some wildlife handling practices by a staff member. Another diver found three trips to the same site repetitive and had issues with boat positioning after a dive. These seem like isolated incidents rather than patterns, but they're worth noting. Overall though, the operation has built a strong reputation with repeat customers who come back specifically for this crew whenever they're in Hawaii.
I had so much fun and felt so Safe with Sam on my discovery dive! We saw many things and we took it slow and easy and had a wonderful time!!
