Had a great time diving with this company, great dive masters, the boat captain was fun. Everyone had a good time!

I did the open water/advanced open water certification with this company and experienced nothing but professionalism. I felt safe the entire time and learned so much. I will most likely be back for the rescue cert course.

I did a Discover Scuba with Aloha Scuba Diving Company and would not recommend them. This was back in April but have still been annoyed about my poor experience so much that I'm coming back to leave a review.

My partner and I were first time divers and were joined by several other newbies and some advanced divers completing a divemaster course.

We encountered large waves immediately after leaving the dock, with the weather conditions being bad enough that they changed the advanced group's dive location to be the same as the beginners and they required only one beginner diver at a time with the instructor. I was last to dive and very nauseous after almost 2 hours in the boat waiting for my turn. The boat captain was yelling at us that we were running out of time which definitely didn't relieve any pressure. Due to the nausea and time pressure, I wasn't feeling confident in the water after completing my skills test and didn't finish my dive. My only small victory was not throwing up like 3 of the other Discover divers + a divemaster.

My partner did complete her dive but also felt extremely rushed and that the instructors weren't paying close attention when she indicated having ear pain while diving. Her nose immediately started bleeding upon surfacing and had ear pain for several weeks afterwards.

The staff were generally very kind but I felt like Aloha should have cancelled our session given the poor conditions (which they did for the session after us) or reimbursed us.

I highly recommend Aloha Scuba Diving Company. Justin, the owner, is a stellar human being! My cousin and I flew out to Oahu for a few days to get our open water dive certification. We had previously booked with a different scuba company and they totally screwed us over at the last minute so we had to scramble. I called Justin at Aloha Scuba Diving Company and explained our situation and he felt terrible and did everything in his power to help us out. Not only did he get us in at the last minute, he also gave us a huge discount due to our situation (which he was not obligated to do!). He fit us in the weekend schedule and made it work for us, and was so supportive and kind. We also got the best dive instructors (in my opinion), Michael and Libbie, who both went above and beyond. I highly recommend both of them! I felt so safe in the water with them. Justin really cares about his customers, and we are so grateful to Aloha Scuba Diving Company for giving us the best experience possible and helping us out! Only dive with this company on the island, you won't regret it!

Thank you so much.    Really had a great experience.   Derrick, Savanah,   and Rick are great people.
This is my third experience with this company (six dives) with you.

Paid for wreck dive so Was a little disappointed we did not do the wreck, which I have done with you twice.   But good experience.

What a great dive day! Saul, Bri and Derrick were all awesome. I dove with Saul and he took us down to Seatiger dive site which was a shipwreck. Our second dive was a reef dive, and we were so lucky to see 2 white tip sharks, many massive turtles, 3 octopus, pufferfish, trumpet fish, moray eel, and many other beautiful fish! Saul was able to find a squid and let us touch and interact with it. The squid latched onto my arm as well as another girls mask and regulator which was really cool! It was even fully spread out across Saul’s chest. The squid inked a few times as well which was cool to watch. I’ve never been so up close and personal with squid before! Such an amazing experience. If I had more time I would’ve love to do a few more dives with Aloha Diving. The whole team is very focused on your safety which I really like. Thanks again!

I usually dive with a different company on the island but I decided to try out Aloha & I am so glad I did! Captain Savannah was so wonderful & welcoming. The crew as a whole was phenomenal. Beautiful dives with beautiful people. I will definitely be diving with them from now on!

Did the 2 tank night dive onto the Sea Tiger. Aloha ran a great crew (Captain Savannah and Dive Lead Sal) and the dives were rewarding. Lots of sea life in and around the ship. We paused on the ascent to go lights-off and were able to see the bioluminescent creatures doing their thing.

They took good care of us, helped with equipment, helping hold and steady your gear when you walked on the boat. Tiger Shark wreck was a very good dive. 2nd dive was eh, but that is Oahu diving.

Savannah, Saul, and Libby, are a great crew. They provided one of the most sincere dive experiences. Their attention to the fine points that make a dive memorable and safe are awesome. This is definitely the best dive value on Oahu! Thanks Justin!

I had a fantastic dive! The crew were awesome and made the trip very enjoyable. We had great conditions and we're and to see lots of fish and turtles. I will definitely book another dive with Aloha on my next trip.

I had a very good experience diving with this group. The instructors were very thorough with going over instructions. They were kind and entertaining and I could tell that they were closely watching and checking each person and their equipment. I recommend this company.

Would give 6/5 stars.
Wife and I just finished advanced open water with Aloha Scuba.
The diving instructors, boat crew, and gear were all great.
Operations were very thorough, safety focused, and well planned, while ensuring that everyone had a great time.
Staff is very professional, knowledgeable, and fun.
Whole heartedly recommend this group for training, guiding, and fun dives.
We will definitely be using them when we return to Oahu in the future.

My son and I just finished our Open Water Certification with Aloha Scuba Diving Company. It was a wonderful experience and our dive instructor Hussein Ramadan was amazing! I highly recommend then to anyone that is wanting to get into Scuba diving! I intend to get my Advanced Open Water Certification with them soon.
