HOW MANY CAN WE TAKE? For the Introductory Discover Scuba Dive experience, our absolute maximum is four divers per Instructor; however, we rarely exceed
two or three divers per Instructor. The small group size adds to the quality, fun, and safety of
the dive. We offer personalized instruction, including private Certification Courses,
upon request. The minimum age limit for all scuba activities is 10 years, with parental
consent.
WHAT DO WE PROVIDE? We provide a calm shallow
water orientation, all instruction and equipment (including a wetsuit), a warm freshwater rinsing shower, and a snack with a beverage.
Additionally, Credit for the Discover Scuba Diving program can be applied towards the Open Water Diver certification!
WHAT DO THE CLIENTS PROVIDE? Everyone should bring
a swimsuit and towel, a rental car, and a Fun Attitude! Also, certified divers should
bring their certification card.
WHEN DO WE DIVE? Divers meet daily at 9 a.m or 1
00 p.m. at a convenient dive site location. Reservations are requested. The entire
experience is a half-day adventure (about four hours).
WHERE AND HOW LONG DO WE DIVE? On the south side
at Koloa Landing, Prince Kuhio Park or Lawai Beach; on the east side at Ahukini Landing;
and on the north side at Tunnels Beach. Weather and surf conditions determine site
selection. We will take beginners to the coral reef with the calmest and clearest
conditions, with no waves or currents. For Introductory Divers the duration of the dive is
about 45 minutes at an average depth of 30 feet (maximum 40 feet). Certified Divers may
dive within the limits of their training and experience. Scooter divers average about
60-75 minutes underwater.

the client's name, hotel and room number, and desired diving day. After we qualify the
client, determine dive site location, etc., we will confirm your dive reservation by
returning your call promptly.

diving memories and capture those special moments underwater, we offer an optional 35mm underwater camera rental
