About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- R1658SHjw0 contributionsWonderful ExperienceIt was my wife's first time to dive, so we signed up for the intro to SCUBA dive with Hawaiian Diving Adventures. They took us to two great locations teaming with marine life. Although my wife is probably not going to be a diver, she was able to get in the water and try out the gear with Ed, who was professional and patient and at the end of the day topped it off with some great restaurants to try. This was a great experience!Written October 23, 2024
- Verity B0 contributions10/10Paige was 10/10. So patient and kind. Got to see lots of cool things. Would definitely recommend especially if you’re a beginner.Written September 28, 2024
- Nathan R0 contributionsOpen Water Diver Certification Success!Booking and diving with Hawaiian Diving Adventures was super smooth. All the staff were knowledgeable and professional. Faith, my instructor, did an excellent job teaching me all the necessary skills, and was very patient, kind and accommodating while doing so. Thank you Faith! We saw tons of animals as well- turtles, octopus, eels, a shark and more. I highly recommend them for your certification or diving in general.Written September 24, 2024
- Jim_N_NC0 contributionsGreat vis and scenery on cove divesI took my 18 yr old daughter on the coral reef dives to welcome her to her new colllege location. The dive master was incredibly friendly and knowledgeable and attentive during the 2 dives. Great scenes, fish and many sea turtles were a delightful new close spectacle to see on both dives.Written September 4, 2024
- nd43670 contributionsHighly unsatisfiedThey warned us visibilty would be poor but said they would still do the dive. I went down for 5 minutes. Couldn’t see 10 feet in front of me. Came back up only to be bored for hours waiting on others to finish. Lady in charge very mean to fellow diver. No mention of any refund. $421 wasted.Written September 4, 2024
- MauiBoy990 contributionsA great introductory dive experience for my sonWe thoroughly enjoyed our crew and the diving experience with Hawaiian Diving Adventures in Oahu. I am an experienced diver, and I was allowed the freedom to explore. My son was a first-time diver, and the introductory dive and dive masters made it a truly memorable experience for him. He loved scuba, and he cannot wait to start his scuba certification now. Surprisingly, the dive sites we visited were just outside the Kewalo Harbor. So, almost all our time was spent diving instead of shuttling to and from the dive sites. The fish and marine life were great (saw turtles, shark, eel, octopus), and the visibility was very good. Thank you!Written August 5, 2024
- Wander566791739690 contributionsAwesome shallow reef diveMy son and I found this business via a Google search. My son chose the shallow reef dive excursion The scuba diving guide was very courteous and professional. My son had fantastic time as he saw numerous marine life where handling an octopus and sighting a turtle were the highlights. I highly recommend this company.Written July 20, 2024
- restrepitadiana0 contributionsGreat instructors for nervous beginner divers!It was my first time in Hawaii and first-time diving in open ocean. It was a windy day, and the ocean was very choppy... I was indeed nervous. Edward was so incredibly patient and helpful in making this experience great under the conditions we were in. He looked after me the entire time and we took the necessary time to go over the exercises needed for open ocean certification. I got really sick, unfortunately but the crew was helpful and supportive. I did get to see lots of aquatic wildlife and the highlight was definitely a very large turtle with its partner. It was a great experience overall and I felt safe despite the circumstances. I definitely recommend Hawaiian Diving Adventures. Thank you, Edward for your help and patience with me.Written April 24, 2024

Was able to dive the Sea Tiger twice and had a great time while also learning the skills necessary for deep and wreck diving. I would highly recommend Evan and Faith as instructors and guides. All around the entire crew were great too. Looking forward to my next visit to the island and chance to dive again with HDA.Written February 26, 2024
- Arnold W0 contributionsFlawless OperationHDA got us to the dive sites quickly and safely. One note is that it provided a hang regulator to use if a diver returned to the boat without enough air remaining to complete a full safety stop. A nice touch rarely seen with other diving companies.Written February 18, 2024

- Passport682238096060 contributionsGreat Way To Introduce Diving To Your KidsWe wanted to introduce our kids to diving and it had been years since my husband and I dove, so we chose the Coral Reef Dive. It was 3 1/2 hours total with two dives (rest in between). Our Dive Master was Caleb and he was excellent. Clear, concise and relaxed. He made it fun and interesting. I recommend this as a good intro for newbies. The crew do all the hard work with setting up the tanks and gear and cleaning afterwards. Caleb even helped our kids with their BCDs and buoyancy. The boat Captain was very personable and everyone was professional and safety conscious.Written January 10, 2024

Awesome deep dive on the Sea Tiger wreck guided by Paige, followed by a shallow dive at the pipeline . Nice small group , swim through on the wreck and a nice shark lying on the sand followed by the biggest turtles I’ve ever seen at the pipeline. Paige was a great dive guide would highly recommend these guys

We did our wreck diving certification with Hawaiian Diving Adventures and enjoyed the experience so much we booked a second day of diving. The whole team is great, very experienced and knowledgeable, and their knowledge of the dive sites is excellent. The boat and the scuba equipment were in very good condition. I would highly recommend diving with them!

I haven't dove in 10 years and while I was here for work, I decided to go diving. We dove a shipwreck and then the pipeline / reef. I had an amazing day and got to see so many different things like sharks, stingrays, eels, and huge turtles. The instructor took such good care of me since I was a little nervous cause its been so long. Would definitely recommend them for anyone who wants to go diving.

My wife and I booked 8 dives with Andrew and his team. They were all very friendly and knowledgeable. We book 4 dives per day but during the second day, my wife didn't feel well and Andrew was willing for us to come back another day to finish our dives. Great experience, saw many different animals during our dives.

Just finished 6 dives with Hawaiian diving adventures. Dove on the YO-257 and the Sea Tiger along with multiple reefs. All were great. I showed up one morning, set up my gear and found my computer wouldn’t turn on. Ed went above and beyond getting me switched to a different day and bringing gear for me to use on that day. I can’t thank him enough for that.
The crew, boat and dive masters were all great.

I completed a total of 6 dives. The crew has been amazing, very attentive and lots of fun to be around. Had a great time and can recommend, especially the wreck dives are fantastic. I will do this dive again because it was so much fun. COVID-19 precautions were taken.

Did the shipwreck/reef dives, they were both fun and got to see plenty of cool fish and several sea turtles. The crew was cool and easy going. Abby was the guide for both dives; she was super cool, knowledgeable, and professional.

I went out with HDA two years ago on the late morning shallow dives. This time I did the early morning deep dives, including a wreck and a reef dive. I highly recommend HDA. Keith,our captain, and Caleb,our dive guide, were personable and attentive. There were just two of us diving with Caleb, and he made sure we had excellent dives. I rented equipment from them, and it was in great shape. I'll go with them again and highly recommend HDA! Malaho,guys!

The dive crew was fantastic. I would recommend them to anyone and will go again when in Oahu. We were the only people at both dive sites so it was a great experience. The knowledge and eyes of the dive master were incredible.
I could not speak more highly about this wonderful experience.
