Snacks, drinks, gear
Spend about 6 hours on a two-site dive or snorkel charter where the crew selects locations after leaving the harbor. Relax aboard Namaka with amenities and valet-style support from experienced guides.
Certified divers must present proof of certification at check-in. If you have not dived in 5 years or more, you must book a refresher or hire a private guide. Ocean and weather conditions can change, and visibility and seas are not guaranteed.
48-hour notice required for single booking cancellations; 7-day notice required for private charter cancellations. Full charge for cancellations made less than 24 hours before the scheduled charter or rental.
If you scuba dive, you must present your certification card (or other proof of certification) at check-in. Snorkelers are welcome.
To join as a certified diver, you must have dived within the past 5 years (you may be asked to show your log book). If you have not dived in 5 years or more, you must book a refresher or hire a private guide. If you cannot meet the trip’s safety requirements, you must hire a private guide or complete a pool refresher course.
Children 6 and up can join dive and snorkel charters. All children under 15 must be accompanied by an adult on the boat (and at the pool if applicable). Snorkeling children under 10 must be accompanied by an adult guardian in the water unless you hire a private snorkel guide. All minors under 18 must have a parent or guardian sign liability releases.

The crew here really sets the standard for what a dive operation should be. Names like Kay, Elias, James, Corey, and Captain Ty come up repeatedly for their deep knowledge of marine life and genuine enthusiasm for sharing the underwater world. Kay especially earns praise for spotting hard-to-find creatures like octopuses and eels, and for explaining behaviors most divers would miss entirely. The guides use underwater tablets to communicate and identify species, which divers found surprisingly helpful for learning what they're actually seeing. What stands out is the personalized, uncrowded feel. Multiple reviewers describe it as diving with family rather than being herded through a commercial operation. The shop accommodates mixed groups well, handling certification dives, experienced divers, and snorkelers on the same trips without anyone feeling neglected. The boat stays comfortable, dive sites include spots other operators don't visit, and safety protocols like face-to-name attendance checks after each dive give everyone confidence. One billing dispute surfaces in the reviews, but it's an isolated incident in an otherwise overwhelmingly positive picture of professionalism and genuine hospitality.
I basically can't say enough good things about this shop. I dove with this shop in 2011. Recently in April 2016 we dove 4 days with them this year. My partner was brand new (first dives since getting certified). The service was great, the boat is nice, the crew is wonderful and inclusive. They are chill and patient, without a bunch of ego. They are extremely professional and competent, and they really work hard at making sure everyone has a great and safe experience. Great dive sites that they frequent. Whether you are brand new to scuba, or extremely experienced, this is an excellent outfit to dive with. Special appreciation to Kelly, Mo, Red and Ty (but really all the crew was great). We'll be back again. Good dives. Saw tons of awesome stuff.
