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.
Before I start my Review: I am former military and absolutely consider professionalism a mandatory quality for a diving company. That being said, every instructor I had for my advanced open water and night dive course was professional and experienced. Erin, Sam, Toby, and Matt were absolutely by the book and took all of my questions seriously. When I come back I’m absolutely going to dive with aloha again. If you’re interested in finding a company to dive with, I highly recommend them.
