Great Waikiki diving
April may be the most competent and enjoyable dive master I have ever experienced in 500+ dives.April is supportive, kind, personable and knowledgeable. April made simple recreational dives fun and memorable.

Fabulous scuba tours fro Waikiki
Fantastic dive shop! Enjoyed another wonderful dive tour out to the Sea Tiger wreck and Kewalo Pipe. They're a fun, friendly, safety-minded group of professionals. Looking forward to diving with them again. A huge thanks to Red, April, Yoshi, Daniela, and Cpt. Steve.

Great experience!
Very organized! Impressed with how organized they are. Wish they answered emails… but call the shop if you want immediate answers. April and captain Yoshi was great. Will be back to dive with them. The only downside is that we went back to the same dive sites we did the day before, but that may be due to weather conditions.

Overall Good Experience
We dove with this operation one time. We enjoyed both the wreck and the reef dive. Our dive master April was great. She was very safety focused, checking nitrogen and air levels frequently on the deep dive. This dive truly is for experienced divers only. You get no assistance with gear set up or getting yourself to and from your tank stations. I gave a 4 for 2 reasons: 1. this was the first operation that did not do a roll call once back on the boat- that was a first in my 35 years of diving. Reason 2 -we went to a wreck people on the boat had just dove the day before instead of one of the other 2 wreck sites listed on their webpage. When we are on travel, we do not like doing a repeat dive which drove our decision to not sign up for another dive day.

Weather created average results
The dive staff was a lot of fun and the dives were average at best. What I don’t know is how the heavy rains and currents affected where we could go. The visibility was 30’ max which is why the dives were average. Their equipment is older and had to zip tie my weights to my BCD and my shorty was completely wore out with holes and stretched out. Other issue that really concerned me is they are going down 100’ without a dive computer on the regulator. At one point my computer said 4 so I came up but some of the newer divers were without computers. Their shop was easy to walk to and the ride to dock was a wonderful perk. They had the nicest boat of the other dive shops I saw in the harbor. Don’t be afraid to dive with them.

Certified Divers: Best 2-Tank Wrecks & Reef Boat Dive All Inclusive From Waikiki: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Oahu.
How much does Certified Divers: Best 2-Tank Wrecks & Reef Boat Dive All Inclusive From Waikiki cost?
+
Prices start at $89 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Oahu usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Certified Divers: Best 2-Tank Wrecks & Reef Boat Dive All Inclusive From Waikiki take?
+
Plan for about 5 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Oahu is not rushed.
Is Certified Divers: Best 2-Tank Wrecks & Reef Boat Dive All Inclusive From Waikiki worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 73 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 46 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Oahu, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Certified Divers: Best 2-Tank Wrecks & Reef Boat Dive All Inclusive From Waikiki?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Certified Divers: Best 2-Tank Wrecks & Reef Boat Dive All Inclusive From Waikiki suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Certified Divers: Best 2-Tank Wrecks & Reef Boat Dive All Inclusive From Waikiki?
+
Around 16 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Oahu can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Oahu and add a light layer if any part of the 5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Certified Divers: Best 2-Tank Wrecks & Reef Boat Dive All Inclusive From Waikiki start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Oahu within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Oahu?
+
On Outty we rank every Oahu experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Waikiki: Turtle Canyon Snorkel Adventure on Oahu, Hidden Gems of Oahu Circle Island Tour with Byodo In Temple, Oahu Catamaran Snorkel Tour: See Turtles 100% Guaranteed. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Oahu?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Oahu?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
