The whole process was seamless, Gabe was so responsive and so nice answering all of my annoying questions. Once I got to the island and got on the boat - immediately was welcomed in with open arms and made some friends too! I did a ton of dives with Gabe's team over the month and saw some incredible marine life and shipwrecks. Coming from LA - this was elite service - princess diving as Gabe calls it. Put my gear together? Incredible. Guided dives every time? Amazing. Gabe and his team provide the best service, are so attentive, prioritize safety, and always find the best and coolest species to look at. I truly cannot wait to be back diving with this crew!

It was the perfect refreshed because the crew sets up your tank and equipment, ready to go when you board the boat! Docked at Kewalo Basin, you check in at the office, which has AC and any diving accessories you may like to purchase. Then you walk over to the equipment truck to get fitted for a wetsuit and fins. I brought my own wetsuit, but used their fins since i only have shore break kicks and long blades at home. The boat has two restrooms on board and a covered section with a cooler and snacks. The crew went over the safety breifing and game plan before leaving the dock. There were about 8-10 discover scuba diver, and 3 of us who were certified. So the crew was great about splitting us up and providing the necessary information to either dive level. The first location was Kewalo pipe and the second turtle canyon, both a short boat ride on the south shore. I had SO MUCH FUN! There were a bunch of massive turtles sleeping on the reef, and a wide variety of tropical fish. My dive master Nacho took great care of the group, always checking in to see if we were ok, checking how much air we had left, and guiding us to fun wild life like eels and octopus. We even got to see a reef shark! Shout out to the crew for being knowledgeable, accommodating, safe, and friendly throughout the experiences. 10/10 recommend.

And turtles. TURTLES!!! They were as big as me. I was so happy to dive and swim with the Honu. But the best was watching my grandson throughout. These men made an old man's dream come true. Now the important part: safety. Even while making it fun and exciting and interesting, you could see that their eyes were laser focused on the safety of every single person.

I woke up early TWICE and showed up at the boat as scheduled, only to find no crew, no operation, and no explanation or communication when calling and texting. I have great screenshots to document this, it would be quite laughable if they didn't steal my money! They messaged me once with vague, incomplete information that didn't clarify anything--then completely stopped responding. I called, emailed, and texted multiple times, but was ignored every step of the way- just an automated message which begins "Aloha!" This isn't just bad customer service--it borders on a scam. They take your money and disappear. If they respond to this review, it will be ironic to only respond to customers when their reputation is at risk--because apparently, the only thing they value more than your money is their online reputation. Avoid Dive Center Hawaii at all costs. They will exploit people by taking their money and disappear. That's how theft works, I suppose. To profit through deceit is to build on sand; collapse is not a question of if, but when.

On top of that, they did not refund my payment. If you don't want your vacation to be ruined, book with someone else. Now, thy are arguing that they will not process a refund because the cancellation was the night before. I completed all the forms they required and had plenty of time to review them. However, they decided to wait until the night before to review it and cancel the dive. Because they took until the night before to do so, now they conveniently say the cancellation was before 24 hours of the reservation. Why did they not review this before? I have more than 50 dives logged in different countries. I know what the physical requirements are to have a safe dive (my own safety always comes first). They cancelled because I had a minor surgery (they didn't even asked what kind) 8 months ago. The operator called at 7pm the night before with this concern and offered that his wife (who happens to be a doctor), could clear his concerns. I asked about the cost and he quoted $200-250 for the "consultation". They were just clearly looking for an excuse to cancel at the last minute and keep the payment.

Wonderful Experience…read more 5/5 experience- did 10 dives with Ed. Ed certified our son years ago doing the ocean dives for junior open water (did the coursework and pool work in California), then later this trip July-August 2026 got certification for advanced open water and enriched air diver. Ed was very attentive and also we like going with Oahu Travel divers as they have a smaller boat and it is not like cow-herd diving which some other operators are. Also he dives with nitrox and that is included. Dives go out of Kewalo basin. We dove Sea Tiger a few times, end pipe, Blocks, Yo-257, Pinnacles and Tug Boat. The highlight was that we saw a whaleshark which was magical/ and haven't seen one before. Ed kept a close eye on my son and was safe, was a good instructor, my son (age 15 enjoyed his instruction and dives). Recommend him / Oahu Travel Divers if you are looking to do diving on South Shore (Kewalo basin) also he said he will be having access to Hawaii Kai boat as well if that interests anyone. Since we stay at Ko Olina, that is farther out so we opted for Kewalo Basin. Also we were allowed to dive our profile, for me was a 58 minute dive for one/ all the other divers were up on the boat I believe in our group except for Ed and I. He checks all the tanks before bringing to the boat to ensure we have full fills and also we checked the nitrox content. We brought our own gear so just needed tanks and weights. On the boat we never felt rushed to put on our gear and also we were not rushed out of the water, we ended the dives when we were appropriately low on air (?700 psi)/ doing 3 minute safety stop.

The rest of the rental gear was good quality and Ed did a very good job leading the dive, checking in with all the divers regularly, spotting sea life, etc. Next time I'm in Honolulu I will definitely dive with Ed again.
