First let me say that Linda is great. Her passion for diving is apparent and her knowledge is impressive. Staff were friendly (especially Linda and Sterling). Our trip to Kauai started with several phone calls to us cancelling our designated dive days and up-sells to more expensive trips. Our original plan was to just do two half days of local... More

First trip to the Islands, first time diving in warm water (I normally dive in the cold waters of the Pacific Northwest). I contacted Bubbles Below based on recommendations from other dive club members, plus the strength of their write-up in "The Ultimate Kauai Guidebook". Whether by email or in several phone calls, everyone at BB was enthusiastic, cheerful, and... More

I highly recommend this scuba charter company. My overall experience with them was over the top. The crew on the boat are all very friendly and helpful and the dive sites they took me too will live with me forever. Monk seals, sharks, manta rays, dophins, turtles, whales...You name it..... More

I completed two open-water certification dives with Bubbles Below. One was a shore dive and the other was a boat dive, and I had a different instructor on each day. Although the people were quite friendly and accommodating to my schedule, I do not recommend them for two reasons: Old equipment and lax instruction. It was a bit of a... More

Dear JAK03, I understand your comments about your boat dive and the lax approach that you received. Our Divemaster for the group reviewed it with me afterwards, and I subsequently spoke to the instructor as well as improved our policies on openwater certification students and the requirements. It will not happen again in the future as Bubbles Below takes pride... More

I did two days of diving with Bubbles, and both were exceptional experiences. The staff are fantastic - Stirling does a great job coordinating and confirming dive plans, Earl is a fantastic captain and knows the area so well, Amber, Travis, and Rob are wonderful dive masters, and Linda the owner is just about the coolest woman on the Island...

Sterling and owner Linda were very accommodating. A small operation that believes in customer satisfaction. Dive master, Travis,and the crew really made us feel part of the group. We were well instructed and felt he was very safety oriented. We felt very comfortable with this crew, and did not feel like were just a number in a group. Very personable... More

Had 6 wonderful dives with Bubbles Below Kaua'i. Our dive masters Travis and Rob were excellent. We rented equipment from Bubbles Below and found it to all be very good, and well maintained. The visibility was not the best we've had in Hawaii, but the Dive operators did their best to make our experience great. The were very accommodating of... More

We have dived in the Hawaiin islands before, ands had a good idea what to expect. From the start, Bubbles were different. Linda was really in touch with the weather, and ensured that we dove in safe water conditions. The boat crew ( Earl skipper; Rod Dive Master and Sterling) ensured that our safety was their primary concern. While other... More

We saw more aquatic life in one dive with Bubbles Below than four dives with another dive company on the island.. We loved it.. The staff is very personal and knowledgeable about the dive sites. No doubt when we return we will only dive with Bubbles Below. They are great.. Thank you so much.. More

This is our second time diving with Bubbles Below. WOW. It took us a few years to get back here to dive with them again and it's well worth it! Linda is one of the most knowledgeable dive guides I have ever had the pleasure to dive with. Earl is an excellent captain who takes his job and his customer's... More
