Discover Scuba Hawaii — Attraction in Honolulu

Wow! What an amazing experience. We did the Open Water Diving Certification with Ricki. She specializes in small group certifications so when you purchase a training program the group will be limited to only those who you decide to include. It was a game changer for my boyfriend and I having our instructor’s undivided attention throughout the process. The course will take you through trouble shooting skills so that you are prepared for any surprises that may occur while you are exploring the ocean. I had a few moments of anxiety that may have inhibited my ability to complete the program, but Ricki was calm, knowledgeable and very encouraging. I now feel as confident as a fish and can’t wait to go back for more! You will feel safe throughout your learning and very accomplished once you finish. Be prepared! There are e-learnings that will take 12-15 hours that you must complete prior to your in person trainings. They are packed with great information that you will want to be familiar with so give yourself plenty of time to complete these and absorb the content before your first session. I also ended up needing a medical waiver prior to my first session, easily taken care of at a local urgent care (Niu Health) for a small fee. PADI will require this if you take any kind of medication outside of the basic few listed on the form you will sign. We are so glad we decided to go with Ricki as our instructor and are looking forward to another diving experience with her soon. If you are seeking a fun and safe diving experience,...

My wife and I recently had our very first scuba diving experience with Rachel and Ricki at Discover Scuba Hawaii, and it was nothing short of incredible! As someone who has even jumped out of a plane without hesitation, I was surprised at how nervous I felt about scuba diving. But Rachel and Ricki completely put me at ease with their knowledge, thorough preparation, and calming presence.

They walked us through every step of the process, answered all of our questions, and made sure we felt confident before we even got in the water. Their expertise and professionalism were top-notch, and their genuine enthusiasm for what they do made the experience so enjoyable.

Our group included my teenage nephew and his dad, and Rachel and Ricki made sure everyone had a safe, beautiful, and relaxing time. The underwater world they introduced us to was breathtaking, and it’s an experience I’ll never forget.

If you’re considering scuba diving, whether it’s your first time or your hundredth, I can’t recommend Discover Scuba Hawaii enough. It’s clear they truly care about their clients and their safety, and they make the whole experience unforgettable.

10/10—thank you, Rachel and Ricki, for an...
