We are back on the island. It's time to rent our gears here at Aqua Zone again. This is our go to…read moreplace for gears. On our last day of snorkeling one of the fins ripped. My son was putting it on and it ripped. The day of the return Paul was the person helping my wife. My wife told Paul the the other fin ripped. My wife called me on the phone about this matter. He was going to charge us $29 for the damage fin. I was pissed because those fins was old and thin already. I can understand If it's new. We didn't want to pay the $29. Aqua Zone was about to lose a customer and a bad Yelp review. Paul called the owner and the owner was nice enough to not charge us. So I'm a happy customer once again. Thanks to Paul for working with us about this problem. Aqua Zone is still our go to place!!

Had the best time snorkeling with sea turtles today!…read more Boat ride was ~20 minutes. Anchored out by Waikiki Beach, just past the surfers. The reef itself is not colorful like Finding Nemo, but there were plenty of fish to see and quite a few turtles swimming around. We saw a handful of large sea turtles and a few baby ones. Loved watching them come up for air and swim around beneath me. Glad to see how comfortable turtles are with snorkelers. We had one person chase after a large turtle to try and touch it. There's always that one kid in class... Crew members were great! Friendly, knowledgeable, and brief! My partner went diving and had a lot of fun seeing the little sharks down below in the caves of the reef and swimming with turtles. Water visibility was good, not as clear as Molokini in Maui, but this place had turtles!! I THINK they're limiting capacity due to COVID, which is nice since the boat only had 8 people. Definitely would do this again!

I had forgotten all of the safety procedures for diving in open ocean. We practiced dives and then did target practice on the sea floor. Jason guided us every step of the way.

Five tiger sharks. FIVE…read more I spent the last month psyching myself up to maybe, hopefully, catch a glimpse of one tiger shark. We got five. I'm still not over it. What made this trip though wasn't just the sharks, it was the crew. Finn, Nika, Tyler, and Lochlan are the real deal. I've done plenty of excursions where the guides are clearly clocking in and counting down to the end of the shift. This was the opposite. When that fifth tiger came through, these four looked like kids in a candy shop. They were losing it right alongside us, because apparently five in one dive is extremely rare. You cannot fake that kind of enthusiasm, and it made the whole day about ten times better. They also know exactly what they're doing. Big animals, open water, and at no point did I feel anything but completely safe. The briefing was thorough, the in-water guidance was calm and clear, and it was obvious this crew has deep respect for the sharks and total command of the situation. That combination of expertise and genuine excitement is rare. Coolest experience of my life with the coolest crew on the water. If you're on the fence about booking with Deep Blue Eco Tours, get off the fence. Ask for Finn, Nika, Tyler, and Lochlan. Ten out of five stars.

1000/10 recommend!…read more Dallas, Ziggy, and Cal were absolutely incredible guides. It was never even on my bucket list to go swimming cage-free in open water with sharks but I'm glad I did! What drew me in was their mission. I found myself reading about their commitment to shark conservation, educating people about the different species, and changing the narrative surrounding these incredible animals. Instead of leading with fear, they lead with understanding and respect-that is why I chose Deep Blue Eco Tours. A huge thank you to Dallas, Ziggy, and Cal for sharing your knowledge, your passion, and your love for the ocean. You didn't just take us to swim with sharks--you gave us a completely different perspective on them. Thank you for helping change the narrative. I left with a deeper respect for sharks and the vital role they play in keeping our oceans healthy. Every moment reminded me that the more we understand the ocean, the more inspired we are to protect it. If you're on the fence because you're afraid, I encourage you to read about their mission first. It might just change your perspective before you even step on the boat--and once you're there, they have a way of making you feel informed, prepared, and confident about what you're about to experience. Looking forward to our next dive. Mahalo! P.S. Get the photos!

This was definitely a great small group activity which was perfect for us due to my significant…read moreother's disabilities! I researched other snorkel activities and most had groups of 35 or more, so 19 is about as good as it gets without paying someone for a private snorkel tour! I wish there would have been a water lounger for him to use to get him into the water, but he enjoyed his conversation on the boat with the Captain which still gave me the opportunity to snorkel. The 3 women crew were confident and capable from the Captain to her first mates! We motored out to Shark's Cove, and saw a huge pod of spinner dolphins on the way! Once the anchor was dropped, we snorkeled where we saw plenty of coral, fish, and two sea turtles! We loaded back onto the Cat for lunch with drinks and a sail back to the dock with our 3 women crew really showing their skills by unfurling the sails! They were well organized from having sandwiches nicely displayed after the snorkel to the shoes being displayed on dock after the excursion! They had every detail well thought out and planned which kept things running smoothly! Be sure to use the restrooms at the dock before boarding; otherwise, you're contributing to the toxins in the sea during the snorkel! ‍

My wife and I had a fantastic whale watching experience with Taylor and Brewski, and I highly…read morerecommend checking them out if you're looking for a crew with a deep knowledgeable of the local whale pods. The catamaran is the way to see the whales (IMHO) because you sit on an unobstructed mesh net between the hulls or on the hulls, and can see everything without any blockages. Our trip was about 2 hours with another couple on the boat. When we were about 10 minutes into the voyage, we spotted the first whale pod of a baby whale, the mom and another adult. It was magical to get so close to them (100 yards by law), hear them blow the water and flop around in the ocean. Taylor and Brewski couldn't have been nicer locals and great hosts on the boat. Highly recommend!

He made my two girls 13 and 10 years old feel safe and comfortable in the open ocean. He was extremely knowledgable, patient and had really good, positive energy to help the girls gain confidence on their first dives. He had a vast knowledge of where things were underwater and what we should see while we were there. We got to see sea turtles, white tip sharks, and many fish gathering around the coral reefs. He helped us complete the referral dive tests with flying colors! We would highly recommend him as a diving guide or instructor. He took pictures for us of all of the highlights so we didn't even have to worry about the camera. Very organized and informative the whole way through. Excellent!

The best part was he took over 400 pictures and videos for us. We never had to take out our cameras or worry about capturing the moments. All we had to do was enjoy ourselves.
