Based in Waikiki, Ola ParaDive introduces guests to Hawaii’s underwater paradise through intimate, small-group dives led by patient, PADI-certified pros. From first breaths in calm lagoons to advanced descents along vibrant reefs ...
Jonathan clearly runs an exceptional dive operation in Oahu, and divers keep coming back specifically for him. What stands out immediately is his genuine aloha spirit and how he treats guests like friends rather than customers. He's fluent in multiple languages including Spanish, making international visitors feel right at home. People consistently praise his professionalism and safety standards while noting how relaxed and approachable he makes everything feel. His versatility really shines through. Jonathan handles everything from nervous first-timers to advanced certifications, often taking anxious divers by the hand (literally) to help them enjoy the experience. He's incredibly accommodating with last-minute bookings and schedule changes, even working around unexpected road closures. Beyond the diving itself, guests love that he shares videos of their dives, recommends local restaurants, and genuinely invests in making their entire Hawaii experience memorable. The wreck dives get special mentions as truly unforgettable adventures.
Jonathan was absolutely amazing! He was extremely knowledgeable and made us feel completely safe and secure throughout the entire dive. His friendly and professional attitude made the experience even better. At the end of our dive, he even took the time to show us a local restaurant where the food and drinks were incredible! He also gave us great, thoughtful recommendations for other activities we wanted to try. This was hands-down the best experience ever. We’ll only be diving with Jonathan from now on when we’re back in Oahu!
