Call Doug if you want a great diving experience when you're in Waikoloa A-Bay at the Marriott. Doug and his son James treated us great, took us to several good places over a 3 day period. We did swim-throughs, saw lots of great coral, dolphins tracking us next to the boat, saw an eagle ray, turtles, a couple sharks, and... More

The Waikoloa Coast divers is the perfect outfit. They are a small group with only a single boat which means no big groups or the " cattle car" dive boats. We dove with no more than 4 of us. They have a knowledgable, professional crew that took their time with us. We have been diving for 10 years so they... More

If you're looking to dive in Waikoloa then look no further, Doug, James, Brooke and Gail really looked after us. The boat equipment they provided was excellent, they really know the dive sites and where to look for all the sea life (they found us plenty of white tip reef sharks, octopus and eagle rays to name but a few)...

I had been looking around for a company to dive with on the Big Island. The top reviewed dive shops were either too far north or south of our condo in Waikoloa Village. After a little searching, I found Waikoloa Coast Divers, which was very close to where we were staying. The dive locations listed on their website sounded interesting,... More

We have dove with many dive companies over the years, and none compare to Waikoloa Coast divers! The attention to detail is impeccable!! Brooke is the most amazing, happy, beautiful person that anyone can see LOVES her job! Capt, James is also awesome, once you can get him to open up, lol! I will not dive with any other company...

Well here we are back again diving with Waikoloa Coast Divers for 13 years in a row. They are like family to us. Capt. Doug, Capt. James and their families are so welcoming and warm. Truly the spirit of aloha. That includes Gail French, our dive master. She goes all out to find the best marine life when we dive... More

We had a wonderful experience with this dive company. We met them at A Bay beach, got on the boat and were at our first dive site in a few minutes. We saw dolphins, turtles and a manta ray on the way. The crew was so nice and helpful. We didn't have to do anything but relax and enjoy the... More

My family and I have been diving with Capt. Doug and Capt. James for 13 years. We return to the Big Island every year and always look forward to diving with Waikoloa Coast Divers. They have excellent dive instructors. Gail and Bob are the BEST! The boat is 40' and very comfortable. The Capt. has been diving the waters off... More

Scuba diving with Waikoloa Coast Divers is a wonderful experience if you are visiting the Big Island. We have been returning to dive with Capt. Doug and Capt. James for 13 years. Their boat, the Lani Kai, is moored at A Bay, convenient to the Marriott, Hilton Waikoloa Village and the resorts at Waikoloa Beach Drive. All you have to... More
