It'd been 10+ years since I last went diving, so I was a bit apprehensive, but Devin's review of…read morethe gear and diving techniques helped to ease my nerves. The dive was wonderful! 10x better than the Long Beach Aquarium of the Pacific. The biodiversity was incredible - there had to be over 100 types of fish, a couple of small eels (safe distance away), and a turtle. Even the "tougher" parts of diving that I remember were made easy with Devin's pointers and patience. I'd highly recommend taking a dive tour with Banzai and will certainly be doing it again myself!

Devin is extremely patient and knowledgeable!

We're returning from a week long trip to Honolulu and I wanted to take a minute to leave a review…read morefor Jonathon and his company, Ola Para Dive. As a life long snorkeling enthusiast, I have always wanted to try scuba diving but have been concerned with confident enough with safely completing the required skills. My wife and I tried snuba a few years ago which was a good introduction to breathing under water but was limiting and didn't address my concerns with accomplishing scuba skills. I've thought about doing a discover scuba trip for several years and finally pulled the trigger on our most recent trip to Oahu. I selected Jonathon and Ola Para Dive based on the great reviews, availability and the reasonable price. After booking the trip, Jonathon got right back to me to confirm the best time and continued to have excellent communication. On the morning of the dive, we met Jonathon at the charter dive boat and he was great about keeping us informed as to what to expect and took the time during preparations to start mentally preparing me for our skills practice. We departed from the harbor on time and once at the appropriate shallow dive site, Jonathon got me set up with gear, went over in detail what we were going to be working on and made sure I was feeling confident. I'll admit, my first 20 minutes in the water was a little stressful and it took me longer than I thought to get comfortable but I have to give full credit to Jonathan. He remained calm and focused on my success and didn't let me even think about giving up. In the end, I was able to check off a lifelong bucket list item and the experience of diving a vibrant coral reef with turtles all around at 40ft far exceeded my exceptions. If you have ever dreamed of trying or learning how to scuba dive but are nervous about being successful, then I highly recommend Jonathan and Ola Para Dive-his calm demeanor and professionalism will surely bring you success as he did for me.

He explained everything in a way that made it easy and not intimidating at all. This was my boys' VERY FIRST time surfing ever, and they both got up and rode waves ‍ It was the coolest thing to watch--they were so fearless and had the best time. Couldn't have asked for a better experience. If you're even thinking about surf lessons, this is 100% the place. Andy is awesome

I had a very disappointing experience with this surf lesson, and I would not recommend it…read more The instructor took us to a location where the water was extremely shallow and there were little to no waves. We ended up having to spend about 10 minutes driving to another spot, where the waves were still very small. The lesson also consistently ended almost 10 minutes early to take photos, even though we never requested or asked for photos. I would much rather have that time used for actual instruction. More importantly, I did not feel that the instructor was paying close attention to the student. He often looked away from the student and seemed more focused on relaxing and looking down into the ocean rather than actively watching and teaching. There was also very little constructive instruction once we were in the water. Overall, the experience did not feel professional or worth the money. I would not recommend this surf lesson to others.

Diving with…read moreHawaii Adventure Diving on the North Shore is something truly special, and every single time I go, it exceeds my expectations. The crew consistently goes above and beyond to make the experience both fun and safe especially Ro, Stacey, Terry, and Ronnie. Their professionalism, energy, and genuine care make all the difference. You can tell they love what they do, and it shows in every detail of the dive. The optional photo package provided by Terry is worth every penny. I'm a certified diver and have had the opportunity to dive in several locations around the world, as well as with other companies on the North Shore, but none compare to this team. Hawaii Adventure Diving stands in a league of its own. This experience means the world to me. I travel to Hawaii every month for work, and I try to do this shark dive every time I'm here. That alone says everything. I won't be diving with any other shark diving companies on the North Shore, Hawaii Adventure Diving is simply the best!! The North Shore has been hit really hard recently with devastating flooding. Hawaii Adventure Diving's crew needs our support. Book your dive today!!

My boyfriend and I are both snowboarders so are familiar with balance and steering but needed to learn surf applications like popping up and picking waves.

At the end he even taught us how to surf side by side and hold hands, which was very sweet! Al is very clear and knowledgeable, would definitely recommend
