    About this experience

    Guided shore dive in Kauai’s South shore location. Koloa Landing on the South Shore of Kauai offers an excellent opportunity for divers of ALL skill levels to enjoy a day out at sea. A great way to get up close and personal with some of Kauai’s favorite animals and see some of its famed undersea topography. Includes an orientation with an ecology briefing describing the animal’s ecosystems and behavioral patterns and an academic review discussing safety procedures, gear, hand signals, etc. A 15-foot to 40-foot dive at Koloa Landing offers a vibrant underwater world teeming with animals that are hard to find elsewhere. There isn't much of a swell break, and the entry is very simple. Several of the rarest creatures on Kauai have homes and breeding grounds that our instructors frequently know. For a lot of people, this dive has it all. If you ask, our instructors will gladly bring your equipment to the water.

    Personalized, fun and safe

    Linda, our dive master, and Sergio, our captain, did an excellent job to hit everyone's requests. It was a super experience... safe and fun! I've been diving with this outfit for over 25 dives and highly recommend them.

    Response from the operator: Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with Fathom Five.

    Awesome Dive Trip

    This was our second guided dive trip as recently certified divers. Julie was our dive guide and was wonderful, pointing out all the interesting finds she came across. We thoroughly enjoyed this trip and would recommend fathom five to anyone visiting the island.

    Response from the operator: Thank you for the awesome review. We love hearing from our divers.

    I will go with Fathom Five again.

    Fathom Five is a great outfit to work with when diving on Kauai! The website works well and there wasn’t a question that went unanswered. I wasn’t sure if I should change my dive dates due to weather conditions and upon request got a quick call back with reassuring reports on the weather, water and tide conditions for my dive date. The shop is cool and the people are friendly and knowledgeable. Specifically, I want to thank Tracy for two great dives. She is so experienced but more importantly, very calming and good natured. I’m an older diver so I don’t take a lot of risks these days. Tracy made it easy and fun while making me feel safe. She really knows her stuff and is super patient and kind. The dive was relaxing and very beautiful. Thank you for a great morning Tracy and crew at Fathom Five!!!

    Response from the operator: Thank you Byron. We love hearing back from our divers. I appreciate you taking the time to share your experience .

    Went for 2 tank boat dive. I had an issue, Julie and Janice showed great concern and compassion.

    How a staff reacts when a guest has an issue says more about them than the perfect excursion. I was unable to continue, but Julie the dive master and the boat captain Janice were so empathetic and professional. They helped me calm down and made sure I was okay. I appreciate them so much. I highly recommend these wonderful people

    Response from the operator: Thank you for sharing your experience. We do care about our divers and love hearing back from you.

    Kauai's South Shore: Ultimate 2-Tank Dive (Certified Divers): questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Kauai.

    How much does Kauai's South Shore: Ultimate 2-Tank Dive (Certified Divers) cost?

    +

    Prices start at $162 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Kauai usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Kauai's South Shore: Ultimate 2-Tank Dive (Certified Divers) take?

    +

    Plan for about 2.5 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 Kauai is not rushed.

    Is Kauai's South Shore: Ultimate 2-Tank Dive (Certified Divers) worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 71 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 49 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Kauai, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Kauai's South Shore: Ultimate 2-Tank Dive (Certified Divers)?

    +

    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 Kauai's South Shore: Ultimate 2-Tank Dive (Certified Divers) suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Kauai's South Shore: Ultimate 2-Tank Dive (Certified Divers)?

    +

    Around 17 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 Kauai 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 Kauai and add a light layer if any part of the 2.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Kauai's South Shore: Ultimate 2-Tank Dive (Certified Divers) 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 Kauai 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 Kauai?

    +

    Kauai sells Na Pali Coast boat and helicopter tours, Waimea Canyon drives, tubing through old plantation ditches and Hanalei kayak trips. Ocean conditions shut down the north shore boat runs in winter, so cancellation terms matter. On Outty we rank every Kauai experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Koloa Zipline in Kauai, Kauai: NaPali Boat Tour on the Amelia K, Kauai: Secret Falls Kayak and Hike. 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 Kauai?

    +

    April to June and September to October, with calmest seas in summer. 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 Kauai?

    +

    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.
