Aloha Scuba Diving Company - Hawaii
The team at Aloha Scuba Diving Company feel like old friends you haven’t met yet. We consistently hear about their patience with new divers and their knack for finding the coolest critters on every dive. This is a solid pick for divers looking to get their PADI Advanced Open Water or even go pro, given their 5-star IDC rating. We’d also suggest them if you're keen to explore a variety of Hawaii’s dive sites without feeling like just another number on the boat. We really appreciate their intimate group sizes; it means more bottom time and less waiting around. On a recent trip, we were diving with them off Oahu and watched a curious green sea turtle follow us for a good five minutes, the light catching its shell perfectly. They’re excellent at finding the smaller stuff too, like the endemic Hawaiian lionfish hiding in crevices. If you get a chance, ask about their morning two-tank dives – the early start often means calmer seas and fewer boats out. Just remember to book ahead, especially in peak season, as their spots fill up fast.
