Step aboard Ocean Therapy, an intimate 40-foot yacht helmed by divemaster Michael Burns and board-certified nurse practitioner Laura Burns. Their mission is simple: fuse the wonder of Hawaii’s marine world with mindful self-care. ...
Ocean Therapy consistently impresses with its personal, safety-focused approach to diving and ocean activities. Multiple reviewers highlight how the crew keeps groups deliberately small, typically around six guests per charter, which means everyone gets plenty of attention and the experience never feels rushed or crowded. The equipment is reliably described as brand-new and well-maintained, and the boat itself is comfortable with a well-stocked lounge area for relaxing between dives. The staff genuinely shines here. Names like Mike, Tracy, Tere, Haylee, Rob, and Dawn come up repeatedly, with reviewers praising their professionalism, patience, and obvious passion for what they do. They're particularly good with nervous divers or those returning after time away, taking extra care to rebuild confidence. The crew actively works to show guests marine life like turtles, rays, sharks, and dolphins, and they capture photos and videos to help preserve the memories. The overall vibe is enthusiastic without being overwhelming, with clear safety instructions balanced by a fun, lively atmosphere that keeps the transit time entertaining.
First dive in Hawaii and Ocean Therapy was a great tour guide. Amy and Alex were fun and supportive. I have dove a lot of places in the world and Kewalo Pipe is hands down in my top 5 places. The giant Turtles are absolutely breathtaking.
