Divers consistently praise the professional crew here, with guides like Matt, Abby, Scott, and Joe earning particular recognition for their friendly, knowledgeable approach. The team strikes a nice balance between maintaining safety protocols and treating guests like capable adults. Shore dives reveal impressive marine life including turtles, sharks, frogfish, and spotted eagle rays, while the popular Lanai Cathedrals trips deliver stunning visibility and memorable underwater encounters. Reviewers appreciate how accommodating the staff is, from last-minute bookings to washing personal gear. One detailed account describes a challenging dive involving strong currents where the group struggled to keep pace with their divemaster, combined with unassigned dive buddies and a medical emergency that cut the trip short. However, this appears to be an outlier among overwhelmingly positive experiences. Most divers, including those with 100+ dives under their belts, report excellent conditions and attentive guidance. The main heads-up is that boat rides across channels can get bumpy, so seasickness medication is smart if you're prone to motion sickness.
This was awesome! We did the Lanai snorkel and dolphin watch, and it was incredible! The captain and guides were really fun and good people. We loved every minute of the trip. We got to see turtles, spinning dolphins, and spotted dolphins from the boat, and we also saw so many fish while snorkeling at two different spots off Lanai. Well worth the cost, we would do it again! Thanks for taking us!
