– Ana M. | TripAdvisorAfter not diving in years, this was a wonderful experience! The staff was informative and really nice! We went on two dives and saw beautiful fish, coral, and really big eels. Highly recommend!
– Alicia S. | TripAdvisorSince Waikiki Dive Centre is a PADI approved shop I was able to do the online component prior to arriving so I could take advantage of my time to do other activities. I wholeheartedly recommend the Waikiki Diving Centre for all your dive needs. You will not be disappointed!
– Kris R. | TripAdvisorThese guys did an awesome job. I struggled and they could not have been more patient and kind. My daughter was a natural for her time and the dive team taught her so much! Guys here's your 5 stars! You deserve them!
