    Things to know

    Participants are generally at least 10 years old. You must complete a PADI Medical Questionnaire and liability release form.

    Gratuities for your instructor and crew are not included; clarify the amount with Greetwell before booking if you’re unsure.

    Cancellation Policy

    Cancel before 72 hours of the service date for a refund less the 25% booking fee. Cancellations made less than 72 hours in advance are non-refundable. If you answer yes to any health questionnaire questions on the day of booking, you cannot dive unless a doctor provides medical clearance.

    FAQs

    Arrive 30 minutes before your scheduled start time for parking and check-in. If you arrive late, you can’t join the dive because the boat departs at the scheduled time.

    Ricki and Rachel have built something special here, with perfect 5-star ratings backed by genuinely enthusiastic reviews. These instructors consistently make nervous first-timers feel completely at ease, and their patience and expertise shine through whether you're able-bodied or have physical disabilities. The team has exceptional credentials in adaptive diving, with years of experience working with paralyzed and wheelchair-using divers, making this one of the best options anywhere for accessible scuba experiences. Beyond their specialized skills, they excel at helping anxious beginners relax and enjoy the underwater world. The dives themselves deliver on marine life, with groups regularly spotting sea turtles, eels, octopuses, puffer fish, and colorful reef fish. Several reviewers mention feeling so comfortable and inspired that they've returned multiple times or even pursued dive certifications. Instructors like Kyle and Faith also get glowing mentions for their kindness and skill. Practical tip: arrive 30-40 minutes early for parking and restrooms, and you won't need much beyond a small bag with your essentials.

    LOOK. NO. FURTHER. 5 STARS FOR A REASON! This was my first time diving, and I did the Discovery Scuba Dive. Any nerves or questions I had were quickly eased thanks to our amazing guide, Rachel. Her experience, patience, and easygoing personality made me feel completely comfortable and safe, both on the boat and in the water. Because of her, I had an unforgettable and truly epic experience! We did the 11am start time and got to see turtles, puffer fish, starfish, an eel, and so many other beautiful marine creatures. Make sure to get there like 30-40mins early to find parking and use the restroom. You don’t need to bring much — just a small bag with your phone, GoPro, and some water. I didn’t even use a towel until I got back to my car. Also, definitely grab one of the Discover Scuba Hawaii hooded Dri-Fit shirts, perfect for after your dive! I’ll be recommending this to anyone and everyone who wants to try scuba diving, it’s 100% worth it!
