Highlights

Koloa Landing - VIATOR IS NOT THE TOUR PROVIDER!!
Yes, this dive is from the shore…but is not stereotypical at all. With easy entry and exit, short surface swim and lots of unique and plentiful marine life, this is the most popular south shore dive site.
This is a shore dive located in very protected Hanaka’ape Bay, which is sheltered from surf,…

You found it, choose Dive Kauai - Great staff, outstanding dives! Between Fishbowl and Sheraton Caves, the locations Kauai Divers accesses provide a huge diversity of tropical aquatic life (humpback whales on the boat ride out, white tip sharks, eagle ray, octopus, lots of sea turtles, and more!) and awesome underwater geological features, notably the lava tubes. Friendly, easygoing dive master/captain, small group size, solid choice for a dive outfitter on Kauai!

Reefs full of life, and plenty of turtles!! - Dominic did an amazing job pointing out all the sea life and getting our attention if we missed anything cool. The other couple that was with us only stayed for one dive so we had a private dive for the second tank and it was absolutely an amazing experience. We seen at least a dozen turtles and quite a few eels and even a glimpse of an octopus. The reefs were full of life, truly was beautiful. During the surface interval Dominic provided snacks and drinks and continued to point out the whales breaching as we were on shore. Great valentines dive!

For a great shore diving experience in Kaua’i, Hawaii go with Dive Kaua’i. - Our dive master, Logan, was top-notch. Very experienced, knowledgeable, thoroughly helpful especially for a couple of divers who were a bit rusty. His hands on approach was greatly appreciated.

Leave your gear at home, dive with these guys - What a great group of dive masters. Very familiar with the area, where the octopi live, where the turtles hang out. Easy dive, and a lot of fun. As a bonus, we had our 14 year old son certified by them through PADI - and he had a great experience also. Highly recommend these guys, from Jimi, to Rooster, to Alex - great dives, safe and fun. I just needed to bring my goggles and fins - easy as can be.

Refresher course ideal for divers with little experience - It was an amazing diving experience. We just recently got our diving certificate in Belgium and were very nervous for our first dives in the ocean. We chose for the refresher course and that was a perfect choice. Rooster was a very patient and friendly guide who took his time to make us comfortable. He answered all our questions and provided us with some very good tips & tricks we didn't hear during our training back home. The diving experience itself was wonderful! We saw so many turtles, beautiful corals, fish, etc.

Excellent shore dives - Dive master AJ was great. He provided ample information about the site and the expected sea life before the dive and beverages and snacks during the surface interval. We had 5 plus AJ for our group and both dives were very fun with lots to see and experience. Even though the dives started and ended at the same place, the dives were sufficiently different to make them each interesting and fun. (Tropical diving sure beats drysuit diving in the PNW...) .

Nice Shore Dive - It was nice that the gear was included! Getting in can be tricky but just watch your step. Was a nice dive with about 20-30' visibility, lots of baby fish, turtles, eels, an octopus, and more crazy fish I had never seen before. The coral looked healthy and colorful as well. It was worth it!

Very nice two-tank dive trip. - Our family of four dives with AJ and Nick. Both guys were very friendly, knowledgeable and interacted easily with all family members. It’s a smaller boat which is good and bad. Small groups of divers is a plus but it’s also a tight fit on the boat with all the gear. The dives were nice; we loved Sheraton Caverns. I would dive with this company again!

Unfortunately, it did not meet our expectations - + the dive spot is great, very nice + the equipment is very good - Initially there was a delay because our equipment had been forgotten - Then suits were brought in XS and shoes that were too small (we are L and have stated this in advance) - The dive guide Dave did not look backwards during the dive. We simply lost a diver and found him on the surface after we pointed him out. - the same diver was previously fitted with lead underwater by Dave, but, as it turned out later, only in one bag. The diver had buoyancy difficulties with this. - Finally, another diver asked for the name of the guide. He squinted over at us and called him in a lowered voice. It seems so unprofessional, we knew his name was Dave, he had introduced himself at the beginning. That was all in October 2023. I would recommend it, but for a good review we would have needed a prudent dive guide.
