Aloha ... and Welcome to the Best Diving in Kauai !!!



We do NOT conduct "cattle call" dive tours or "jammed-up" training classes (sardines belong in a can on the grocer's shelf, NOT on a boat or a dive site !!!).

We specialize in smaller and more comfortable numbers of divers traveling together as well as interesting guided tours and personalized certification classes. Be sure to ask about our totally private guided tours and classes!!! We gladly offer group discounts upon request ...

Learn to Scuba Dive !!!



We offer a 2 Day "Check Out" Course, a 3 Day "Vacation" Course, and FULLY PRIVATE Certification Classes!

Discounts available for families and "tag" divers who might like to take pictures!!!

The PADI Open Water Diver Certification is a FULL certification you earn by successfully completing the entire PADI Open Water Diver Course.

The complete PADI Open Water Diver Certification Course consists of the following parts:

  1. Independent Study (allow 5-6 hours study time)
  2. Academic Review and Examination with Instructor (allow 4 hours)
  3. 5 Confined Water Demonstrations and Practice Sessions (allow 2-4 hours)
  4. 4 Open Water Dives (allow 2 days of diving, about 4-5 hours each day).

You can start at any point in the program! If you do the Academic Review and Confined Water Sessions BEFORE you meet with us, all you will need to do is the 4 Open Water Dives! This saves you a lot of precious vacation time .. and you will save a lot of money at the same time!

We believe that there is a correct way of learning to dive, and that there are many "less-than-correct-ways" as well. Once we "sign-off" on your certification card, we are telling the rest of the diving world that you are "qualified" to dive and that they can expect high level of dive proficiencies from you.

We take this VERY seriously.

We believe that the VERY best option is for you to do your academics and confined water sessions at a dive center near your home BEFORE you come to Kauai. This way, you can learn the skills required for certification at YOUR pace, and not be rushed or hurried because of scheduling or economic concerns. Accordingly, our time is then BEST spent with you in the 4 open water dives, and we adjust your tuition fees accordingly.

We also understand that it is GREAT FUN to earn your certification while on vacation as well. So, we have a program in place that will allow you to do the academic studies at home before you arrive on Kauai, and then we will "take over" from there.

Our 3-day vacation course is CHALLENGING and FUN !!!

We give you not only all of the basic teachings and instructions that you will need in order to earn your certification, but we make certain that you learn how to safely and properly enjoy scuba diving instead of simply learn to "survive" scuba diving !!!

We STRONGLY believe that you will learn more and will graduate a better diver by having only 1 Instructor throughout your entire certification process ... this way, NOTHING is missed and YOUR Instructor knows YOU and what YOU need to do !!!

Most production dive centers will send you out with "whoever" is available ... or even whoever showed up late for work and (literally) missed the boat!!! You may even go through several Instructors before you earn your certification !!!

When it comes to your safety and learning, we believe that ... LESS is MORE !!!

We ENCOURAGE your friends to participate in the learning ... and we offer DISCOUNTS for certified divers that would like to "tag" with you while doing your open water dives!!! This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and wouldn't it be GREAT to have some underwater pix of this experience !!!

We cannot and do not promise that you will pass the certification process (but most of our student DO successfully complete their courses and earn their certifications), since these certifications are "performance based".

Again, if YOU are unable to perform and/or YOU decide not to complete your classes, we will NOT refund any monies to you. If WE are unable to perform for any reason, then we will gladly pro-rate your tuition based upon the time and expenses we have generated towards your particular certification.
