We did this in lieu of a snorkeling trip. You can rent snorkel gear and snorkel wherever you want for the most part. Snuba was amazing. The staff was fantastic, very knowledgable and safety conscious. I had no anxiety leading up to it, but once I tried to breathe under water I was super nervous. I grew up at the... More

Local guys with a bunch of knowledge. Now remember don't be a nose breather. It took abit of getting used to but once you get it it is an amazing underwater experiance. Snuba was not difficult and the time fly's by while you explore the ref an watch the fish swim around you. More

Guides were very nice and informative. Very patient and safety was a top priority. We were in the water for about a hour. I would have preferred doing something off a boat, away from the public. There were a lot of snorkelers around us. We went about 15 feet deep. Fighting the surf was a challenge for some in our... More

Great guides, good equipment, but snuba location was much to be desired. Water was not very deep (could snorkel dive just as deep if not deeper), could not maximize the 20 foot air hose. Sight in Poipu, was somewhat mediocre. Would be much better if a boat took you to a "not as warn/damaged" reef. More

My wife is not a strong swimmer, and they helped her along patiently - she was happy. My 14 yr old son is an OK swimmer and it was a highlight of the trip for him. I'm a good swimmer, but heavy, and then they added a tiny bit too much on the weight belt so I kept having to... More

✯ I've taken this same snuba tour many times and I've have enjoyed it just as much each time we went. Here's a few Q&A to help you out ;) ✯Q: Someone said that snorkeling is better and cheaper. Should I just do that instead? A: Absolutely not. Snuba is worth the money, because you can go as deep as... More

My husband is scuba certified, but I've never even been snorkeling before. It was a great experience for us to have as a couple on our honeymoon. Kevin, the owner, and his daughter took us down and it wad beautiful. They were very considerate of us, especially in making sure we were comfortable before letting us loose. We had a... More

Snuba was an awesome experience. I have never tried scuba diving so I thought this may be a nice warm-up. The instructor was very experienced and gave clear instructions. He looked out for me because I was a little scared but once I got comfortable I did not want to it end!! I think the price is absolutely reasonable as... More

This was our first time to try snuba. We have snorkled before and this sounded really fun and interesting!! Kevin, the owner, was our guide. He is really nice and very knowledgeable about the area and the marine life. The snuba dive is in the waters of Lawai Beach. This is a shallow reef area inhabited by a nice variety... More

Our guide Kevin, the owner of Snuba, showed us that you don't have to pay tons of money in order to have an enlightening underwater experience. He took us to a beach in Poipu where the reef is quite alive and thriving with aquatic life. He was kind and professional to our family and the other family with us, minimizing... More
