Great service!…read more December 30, 2015 We were able to take advantage of this place because of the military status of my sister-in-law, my late brother was in the U.S. Army. This is a one-stop place that offer special discounts to some of the best attractions and activities on Oahu and the neighboring islands. MWR stands for morale, welfare, recreation for Hawaii military personnel. We were assisted by an employee named Joshua. They had a numbering system to which you take a number and you will be helped when your number is called. We didn't know to do this but he came out and helped us immediately once we walked in the door. Perhaps it wasn't that busy at the moment yet. Joshua was helpful, witty and informative. He gave us pricing, best deals, and answered all our questions. He was patient with us and assisted us till the booking was finalized. We inquired about a tour at the Pearl Harbor, the Polynesian Cultural Center, and a place for a luau. We finally settled on Paradise Cove for a luau and some of our family members are going to the Polynesian Cultural Center. Aside from luaus they also offered discounts on shows, dinner cruises, tours and activities on land and on the water, event tickets, mainland theme parks and lots more! Glad our military have this place to get cheap tickets.. they deserve much more. This is located at the Naval Station in Pearl Harbor. Thank you, Joshua! Review #0406

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.

These men and the young lady in the shop made everything so easy. It was like we had never left the water. They were infectiously positive. They made sure we were comfortable. There were plenty of snacks and water to fortify us after each dive. They were supremely knowledgeable about every nook and cranny of our dive area. They pointed out everything during the dive. 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.

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.

Ed is very friendly and relaxed and equally as accommodating of very experienced divers and those who hadn't been diving in years and needed some refreshing. I really like that Ed equips all divers with a high quality dive computer and uses EAN32 (Nitrox) on all his dives, giving a quick Nitrox briefing for those who are not Nitrox certified. 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.

When it was time to upgrade my short fins and diving mask that I literally found on the beach -…read moreWestside Dive & Tackle was the spot I decided to go to. I walked into a few other surf and snorkel spots but they mostly carried short fins. I went with the Leaderfins which are the most affordable carbon fins. The fins do come separately from the foot pocket, so I also got their forza foot pockets. They do offer a service where they put together your fins and foot pockets but only certain people are trained on that, so I did have to pick it up just a few days later- and that service is $30. I also got a pair of diving socks to go with my fins. They have different sizes, thicknesses, and cuts (high vs low). I also got a new diving mask and snorkel. The best thing about going to a dive shop is the ability to try things on and Westside Dive has so many different options. Being able to put on the foot pockets with the diving socks or even just trying on a few different masks to find the one that best fits your face is why it's better to come in person than buying online. The service was also super friendly. I was making some big purchases, so I wanted to make sure that each component was exactly right and the staff here was helpful and overall super chill. We talked story for a bit, exchanged where we like to go diving and even some fish recipes. If you're looking for diving gear, support local and check out Westside Dive!
