Amazing experience - Dive shop was very organized and staff was incredibly friendly and helpful aboard boat. April and Ana in particular were fun and safe dive guides. 100% props to captain Yoshi when we had an emergency aboard. Thank you for some great diving. I recommend this dive shop.

Great dive location, conditions, professional staff made this a great trip. - We joined this dive trip for the last part of our PADI Advanced Open Water Diver certification. What an awesome experience! We had super-clear water, professional instructor Jaimie and Capt Steve running the boat. Safe, great gear, fun time for all of us. Saw sharks, morays, so many turtles, and of course thousands of fish. Sea Tiger wreck was our main site for the deep dive. Then a second dive on the reef at shallower depth rounded out the trip with more turtles and much more sea life. We will definitely be back for more diving with Waikīkī Dive Center professionals on our next trip to Oahu.

Professional AND so competent! - We came on vacation with a goal of getting certified as scuba divers. Honestly, the first session, I felt like we were in good hands but doubted that I could go through with the process...
I was wrong to doubt myself! With Devon by my side, I did it! All the instructors were incredibly competent and professional. I was fortunate to have Devin for my 3 days out and I would highly recommend anyone who is thinking of getting certified but has trepidations to reach out to the Wakiki Dive Centre team as they are amazing!
Friendly, competent, professional is how we would describe all the instructors who interacted with us.

The best diving ever! - The equipment from scuba pro was excellent. We went to the ship wreck and to the pipe. Both were amazing and I can say the best diving day of my life! Our dive master was Anna. A pleasure, super nice and very knowledgeable. Visibility was 100 feet! We saw plenty of fish, sharks, rays, turtles, eels, multiple types of urchins and a huge coral garden. 100% recommended!

Amazing experience! - Awesome trip! Very accommodating crew and captain. There was a large group of us, but we broke off into several smaller groups, each with a divemaster. Taylor was very attentive and pointed out tons of turtles, sharks, rays and eels. Dive sites were clean and visibility was great, can't recommend these guys enough!

Good dives! - Good dives! Staff very professional and friendly! Good boats. Dive sites are great. I wish they had nitrox to offer for the wreck dive. We have little time to explore the wreck on air.

Great People/Average Experience - April and Yoshi did a good job, but their management makes this an average value. Scheduled this dive for my first morning; but due to a flight delay, I was rerouted and arrived 8 hours later with no sleep. Not their fault. My Garmin dive readiness was 0 out of 100. I showed up at the shop on time and was encouraged to dive because there are no refunds. I rescheduled for two days later and had two good dives. It would have been nice to have received some credit. They offer a 10% discount on t-shirts for those that purchase a dive package. Checking out I was informed that a $75 short sleeved rash guard is not a t-shirt. It felt like maximizing profits was their primary goal. The Tiger Shark wreck was only a 20 minute dive and we only took a 30 minute interval. I prefer longer/shallower. The 45 minute reel dive was great! Saw a manta and numerous turtles.
