The guide and captain are thorough, emphasizing safety yet still have fun. Highly recommend them for a great experience

Great diving experience. We liked it so much we did two dive trips. We did a night dive and a boat dive. Each trip was two dives. The dive guides did a great job. The boat had snacks and drinks. The DM was on the ball and very helpful. The night dive was a new experience for us and also very well done. It went from the shore, so we got to experience a different kind of dive compared to the boat. We saw all sorts of wildlife, from turtles to octopus. Great dive company. read more

From check in with Morgan? To Jeanette making sure I had the correct wet suit, to our dive master Noah we could not have asked for a better experience! Jeanette was soooo welcoming! Noah was our perfect dive style, safe and laid back! Luckily conditions were great and we saw a variety of fish and LOTS of turtles! Dive shop is clean and my husband loved it. HIGHLY recommend Fathom Five Divers! read more

Extremely nice and very professional staff and crew. Capt Janice and dive master Will made the day unforgettable. We have dove with Fathom five every time we have been on the island and will again ext trip. Thanks Fathom Five for another great adventure. read more

Had a blast diving with Julie, and having Janice for captain. The first boat dive site was OK, while the second one was memorable because of the dozens of turtles that we got to see. It was quite magical to swim with these graceful creatures, and a pleasure being guided by both Julie and Janice! I would sign up for another dive with them any day!!! read more

Diving with Julie and Thomas is always the best. Fathom Five does an awsome job. Best on the island. Their dive masters are also the best. David read more

This was awesome!!!!! My friend and I have never gone scuba diving before and the non-certified two tank shore dive was perfect. The people at the store were helpful finding us wetsuits that worked, and then when we went down to the beach, Will was the coolest instructor. We had so much fun doing this. read more

Fathom Five and their staff were great. The dive master Reid was perfect with our group of four teens!

Great experience. Awesome crew, it's full service diving. I did 2 tank dives from a boat and each dive was magical. The dive master, boat captain and crew at the dive shop were all super helpful. Will dive with them again. Fun and safe! read more

I made four dives with fathom five including a twilight and night dive. I can't believe how well they take care of their guests. From friendly people on the phone to top notch dive guides - I felt like first class all the way. Shout to Captain Janice and also Sivan! Great people, great dive operation. read more

New divers, instructor was amazing! East shore dive with a lot to see! Snacks offered in between dives. Highly recommend!

AMAZING! We took our family of four to get PADI certified with fathom five and it was an incredible experience. Our two boys loved the entire process which included four shore dives right off the south coast of Kauai! We were lucky enough to be paired with Will and he took good care of our youngest who struggled to equalize his ears. We successfully completed all of our training and it was all thanks to Fathom five. Just book the trip and dive with Fathom five, you won't regret it! read more

Booked a 2 dive tour. it was amazing Saw 2 humpbacks, 6 bottlenose from boat. 2 6' white tip sharks, about 40 turtles, 2 rock lobsters, nudibranchs an octopus and tons of other stuff. Sheraton Caverns were awesome. Will for sure do it again next time in Kauai read more

I completed my Open Water certification with Jeannette, an island resident of 33 years. Then we chartered a double dive with Shaun and Sergio. All three were customer service focused without ignoring safety. The personalized service and feel of a family business was intimate and relaxed. Their knowledge of the local waters and dive spots they shared enhanced the experience. Will go back over and over again! read more

Had a incredible experience with the with our dive master Bill, captain Drake, and all of the fathom five crew. They were extremely accommodating to our novice diving skills as well as patient, extremely kind, and safety oriented. The dive master didn't even hesitate to lend me his personal dive light on a dive. Each dive was as incredible as the last. Needless to say I will definitely be booking additional dives with them and have nothing but good things to say about them. read more

We had a wonderful two tank dive with Fathom 5. The guide Julie and captain Drake picked excellent spots. The surface was rough but underneath the waves was perfect. We saw bright fish, octopus, eels, turtles, crown of thorns and even a hammerhead! The dives felt very relaxed and not rushed. Explanations of what to expect were given at each stop. We loved the small size of the group. It allowed for discussion and concerns to be expressed. For example, one person in our party hadn't been diving in over ten years and started out nervous. For myself, as an older diver, I have trouble getting from the water to the boat and received help to do so. I highly recommend Fathom 5. read more

I had a great experience with Fathom Five. Will was a great guide, super helpful, knowledgeable and patient. My wife had a challenge with her mask 60' deep last time we dove (in another country - not with Fathom Five), since then she has been apprehensive to dive and I think if she had Will as a guide she would be back diving with confidence. I saw an octopus, which was on my list! read more

The dive shop was great to work with when not enough people signed up for the dive I wanted to do. The accommodated me on an afternoon dive instead of the morning. The dive master Bill was the best dive master I have ever dived with. He had a ton of experience and made me feel as if I was in great hands he handled an issue with a tank in the water and made sure the experience was great. read more

HIGHLY RECOMMEND Fathom Five! They were so knowledgeable, friendly, and accommodating. I took a refresher since I had been out of the water and felt 10000% prepared for the boat dives the next day. Jeannette (the owner) took me under her wing and reminded me of all the necessary things. On the boat dive, Shaun and Drake made me feel very supported and up for adventure--we saw octopus, sea turtles, caverns and lots of gorgeous fish. They were also incredibly kind when I got seasick (sorry guys!). read more

Reed and Sergio were awesome! The Sheraton Caverns were unbelievable to see. Great service, small boat but the sites were super close.

I was a solo diver so I had to book around my family plans upon arrival. The young lady was super helpful on the phone and helped me pick a dive that would work. We went through several options. I did a 2 tank boat dive. Captain Sergio was the perfect skipper for the day. Wild Bill was the master diver and he gave a fantastic and thorough pre-dive brief. A young lady dropped her mask prior to entry and I was able to find it below. The caverns was by far my favorite of the two locations. If we saw one turtle we saw 100! Fun! The staff was super non-chill and there was no rush. Comfort was the name of the game. I will totally dive with them again. No sharks or monk seals though. Perhaps next time! The equipment was 1st rate as well. The check in process was as well. They had the wrong size shorty for me but she worked with me and I went without as we discussed water temp! They said the dive info will be in our profiles and we can retrieve tomorrow after the data is uploaded. See you again! read more

I cannot recommend Fathom Five Divers enough!! As someone who never thought they would be able to scuba dive (and I almost did call it quits in the water), it was one of the best experiences of my life! Devon and Kat were SO patient when I started to psych myself out while learning the skills under water. They were so reassuring and the reason why I was able to check scuba diving off my bucket list. Once I was down in the water, it was such a peaceful and awesome experience! 10/10 recommend if you are traveling to Kauai! read more

I did quite a bit of diving with Fathom Five 15-20 years ago, and after a work-driven hiatus, I'm back on Kaua'i and thought it was time to get back in the water. Back then, FF was a terrific help and guide service, and I'm happy to report: they still are. Their staff-- Ezra on the phone, Noah our dive master / guide, and everyone else I spoke with along the way was gracious and helpful. Because of some off-shore weather, the Koloa Landing dive wasn't the greatest viz, and the rocky old boat ramp a little sketchy for the exit. However, Noah did a great job getting us in and out, and showing us around; even with so-so conditions it was a great dive. Of note, I have an ankle injury that didn't interfere with the dive itself, but on the exit, given the surge and rocks, I struggled more than I anticipated. Noah-- while also helping an inexperienced teen and 2 other divers-- still got us in safely with a minimum of grief, and managed to help me limp up the ramp by grabbing my tank valve and taking some weight off my foot. Next dive he simply, and without fanfare, took my tank from me on the exit, and I waltzed in (water ballet?) easily. Now I'm spoiled and would like a cold drink and a towel handed to me. Seriously, these folks are experienced pros, know the island, are safe, conscientious, and provide a great experience for their guests. Easily Five (5) stars for Fathom Five. Just "book 'em Dano!" read more

Shawn was a great master diver who took time to point out all of the interesting underwater finds and what species were native to HI! We saw a huge variety - including turtles, a giant barracuda, eels, schools, and all the expected bright and colorful HI standards! The team at the shop were friendly and efficient. Would definitely dive with them again! read more

Had a great experience with Fathom Five Divers. The guide was attentive to the divers and pointed out fun marine life as we explored.

We are new divers and Fathom and specifically Sean, our divemaster, could not have been more accommodating. We did a two tank shore dive from Koloa Landing and saw an amazing array of marine life and knew we were in great hands with Sean and the Fathom crew, including Ezra in the shop when we checked in. Everything felt well cared for, safety was prioritized, and Sean made sure everyone in our small group had an incredible experience. I cannot stress how much I would recommend them for anyone considering diving in Kauai. read more

We had a great experience with Fathom Five Divers. We were getting our Advanced Open Water Diver certificate, and Will was our instructor. He was very thorough and kind and genuinely wanted us to understand the materials and to have a good time. Drake was a caring and helpful captain. So glad we chose Fathom Five! read more

Yesterday I dove with two of my grandchildren on their first Discovery Dave with Fathom Five. The entire experience was exceptional. Everything cooperated but the best part was the care and teaching of Jeanette and Carlea. They were particularly carefully about the anxieties of the girls and nudged them beyond those anxieties to a new appreciation for the ocean and the thrill of adventure in general. I will be forever grateful. Breathing underwater with my granddaughters was one of the highest adventures of my SCUBA diving thrills. Thank you Fathom Five Divers! read more

We had a great time diving with Fathom Five Divers! Julie and Sergio were awesome. They were very kind, patient, attentive, safety conscious and fun! I would highly recommend diving with Fathom Five. read more

Dive masters extraordinaire Linda and Julie provide the best underwater experiences imaginable. Captains Thomas, Drake and Sergio provide comfortable, safe boat rides and help with defog and getting back on the boat. I'm greatly looking forward to my next dives with Fathom Five and Linda and Julie!!!! Why not treat yourself to a trip to Niihau for some of the best encounters in the world? read more

We had 2 great dive days with Drake as the captain and Devin and Julie as our dive masters. Both dive masters were helpful and informative; we really appreciated Julie's knowledge about identifying fish at different stages, and Devin's patience. Overall a great dive shop! read more

Our instructor was patient and informative. We had full confidence in taking our first dive a tee his introduction. The underwater views will never be forgotten. read more

We had such an incredible time with the exceptional Fathom Five Diving crew that included: Captain Julie, Dive Master Extraordinaire Linda, and Dive Guru Gina today. Their pretty boat was clean, we each had two tanks for our two dives and there were beverages and snacks available for us to enjoy at leisure. They took care od changing our tanks for us and helped get our gear on and off both dives. As a born again virgin diver, it had been three years since my last dive, Linda took me under her wing and gave me a brief refresher. Always good to gain safe advice when you can. Linda made me feel very secure and calm getting back into the water. Julie aided by helping with my back-roll entry and Gina's encouragement between dives increased my confidence. We were taken to two beautiful dive locations. A plethora of turtles awaited is and so many wonderful fish to see! I only wish our underwater camera had been working for pictures that would have been epic to post and share. This of course means we will need to come back and dive again with this fabulous organization! Thank you Fathom Five for making today so memorable! We appreciate all of you! read more

Julie our dive master was very knowledgeable and extremely helpful in all aspects of our dives. her female captain of our vessel was equally knowledgeable and great at her job also. next time I am here I will request them. we had a wonderful experience! thanks so much! read more

We did a two tank dive with Julie as our dive master and it was fantastic. Julie was incredibly informative telling us all about the fish and coral. She pointed out some really cool stuff and was very knowledgeable. Everyone was great helping us getting gear on and off and getting on and off the boat. The marine life was very abundant as well. read more

Great crew, fantastic dice master, AMAZING diving, and we even saw whales!! 10/10 will absolutely book here again next trip. My 16 year old son went diving in the ocean and he had a great first experience and said it was the most fun thing he's ever done so far. Thanks Will and Drake and Brad!! read more

Cassie was a fabulous dive master! We did two shore dives with her at Koloa Landing. She was so easy to work with and informative. Loved her! I would dive again with her any day! We also saw tons of turtles and when we saw one with fishing line on it, and could not get it off with what any of us had on us, she made it a priority to get someone else going out to look for him so they could help that turtle out which is awesome. We have dove all over the world and recommend diving with Cassie at Fathom Five! read more

Excellent and fun adventure for non-qualified scuba divers with our instructor Easy training to follow. Instructor has 100% patience all the way to be with us. Amazing to see fishes and sea turtles! Thank you Sean for providing best scuba diving adventures with us! read more

Had an excellent experience with fathom Five. Booked the Kōloa landing 2 tank dive. Not sure what the girl at the front desks name was. My check in was at 7:30 am on 7/14/25. Wanted to make sure she got her appropriate appreciation. She was very kind and helpful to everyone that morning. Then met Kat at Kōloa landing. She was very knowledgeable and led to very good dives. Saw a ton of turtles, different fish species, eagle ray, eels, and much more. She set up all of our equipment which was unexpected. Gave a great dive briefing and was very attentive to the divers during dive. Made sure to check all diver air consumption and status. Notice d her visually checking on divers frequently. I note this because I've been on booked dives in other locations and countries where the DM's hardly checked on divers at all. Especially with varying levels of experience. I would for sure book with fathom five again in the future for other dive sites in Kaua'i ! Mahalo Fathom Five! read more
