Sammy was an incredible scuba instructor. He had the best pricing but was also the most helpful in figuring out scheduling and certification of my partner. My partner had completed the e-learning and just needed to finish his dives. I was already certified but wanted to join where possible. Sammy was flexible and trustworthy. He was fun, knowledgeable and knew where to spot awesome creatures along the dives. His equipment was top of the line and he made sure we were comfortable the whole time. Would highly recommend for someone already certified for fun dives or for someone trying to finish their certification.…

We just returned from a family trip to Maui. The highlight of our trip was our dive with Sammy! Only 2 of the 5 of us had ever been diving. I love the water but definitely had some anxiety about breathing through the regulator, equalizing, and being below the surface. Sammy was super patient and explained everything in a very calm and deliberate way that made me feel very confident and comfortable. We managed to leave our GoPro at home, so another part of his service included taking footage of us and the things we saw on our dive. We were able to purchase the memory card to take home with us - a nice option! It was awesome to have Sammy's personalized attention for this first-ever diving experience and he also made it fun for my 2 more experienced teenage divers. His rates were very reasonable for the service he provides. I highly recommend Sammy for a memorable Maui adventure!…

We are so thankful that we looked at the reviews and found Sammy. He lived up to every review! Super helpful, kind, patient. Our group of 6 was able to thoroughly enjoy the 2-dive experience even though 5 of us had never scuba’d before. His equipment was top notch, safety was a priority, and the education was great. It was basically a private lesson for our two families. Thank you Sammy! We HIGHLY recommend that you use him.…

Sam was so amazing with my family of four this morning! This was our very first scuba dive (none of us were certified), and we had no idea what to expect. Sam was knowledgeable, warm and trustworthy. I was nervous at first, but by the time I got under the water I felt safe and at ease. What an incredible experience! It was well worth the cost! We will definitely be back, and hope to get certified through Sam one day.…

Our group of 4 divers went on a shore dive with Sammy in January at Kahekili Beach. 2 of the divers had been diving recently and my husband and I had not been diving for a long time. Sammy was professional and made sure everyone was well prepared. He provided all the equipment needed. I will admit I almost chickened out, but with Sammy's calming influence I completed my dive and am so happy I did. A great memory from our Maui vacation.…
