Highlights
  • Koloa Landing - VIATOR IS NOT THE TOUR PROVIDER!!
    Yes, this dive is from the shore…but is not stereotypical at all. With easy entry and exit, short surface swim and lots of unique and plentiful marine life, this is the most popular south shore dive site.
    This is a shore dive located in very protected Hanaka’ape Bay, which is sheltered from surf,…

A Fantastic Experience at the Ultimate Shore Five! - Our family had an exceptional experience with Dive Kauai during the Ultimate Shore Dive. From start to finish, the dive was professionally organized and our crew was welcoming and clearly passionate about what they do. A special shout‑out to our divemaster, Avery Smith, whose professionalism and deep knowledge of the reef ecosystem made the entire dive unforgettable. Avery has a gift for blending expertise with approachability—he took the time to explain what we were seeing, why it mattered, and how to move through the water in a way that respected the marine environment. This was our second dive with him and we searched him out because of his expertise. Most importantly, Avery brought tremendous comfort and confidence to our young diver. His calm presence, clear communication, and genuine care transformed what could have been a nervous moment into a joyful and empowering experience. Watching our child light up underwater was something we’ll never forget, and Avery played a huge role in that. If you’re considering diving on Kauai—especially with kids or newer divers—Dive Kauai and the Ultimate Shore Dive are absolutely the way to go. We left with new skills, great memories, and a deeper appreciation for the island’s incredible underwater world. Highly recommended.

Nice crew, unique underwater terrain, lots of sea life with Dive Kaui! - We booked the 2 tank South Island Boat Adventure Dive in Dec 26 with Dive Kauai. My husband unfortunately had a respiratory infection and couldn't dive, but Captain Nick let him ride along on the boat which I was happy about as I already felt apprehensive about diving without him. Dive Master Zach was excellent, showing us unique underwater terrain at Sheraton Caverns & Harbor Ledges and pointed out different sea life along the way: sea turtles, moray eels, octopus, and so many varieties of fish! We even saw dolphins after our dive! Overall it was an excellent dive outing!

Great - This was our fourth time with Dive Kauai and we had an excellent experience! Avery was a great dive master who communicated well, he connected with my nephew who was almost 14, and gave us great suggestions for a more successful dive, not only this time but for the future. The dive site, Kōloa Landing, had limited visibility, but we still saw quite a bit. Highly recommend!

Absolutely radical - Avery was such a goat. I had so much fun and I’m convinced his jokes and immaculate vibes brought out all the cool sea life: many turtles, THREE octopus, and this super tiny clear amoeba looking creature that I forgot the name of. I promise you will never have a bad time with this chill lil dude Avery!!
