Great experience!
Reviewed by: Heather Payton, 2017/11/03So much fun! Would highly recommend this to both inexperienced and experienced snorkelers. Dan and Chieko knew the reef well and guided us to spots where we were gaurenteed to see the fish and sea turtles. Dan also takes pictures with his GoPro so you don't have to worry about bringing your own camera. I would do it again in a heartbeat!
Hi Heather, thank you. Glad you guys enjoyed. Hope we get to see you again. Dan and Chieko.

Snorkel Tour with Dan.
Reviewed by: Kulin, 2017/07/09Me and my 3 kids had a great experience snorkeling with Dan. This was our first experience and i had never thought i could go in for straight 35 mins with my kids [our youngest is 6 years old]. I felt i was in safe hands with Dan and did have to worry much about the kids. I will go back to Dan when we visit Hawaii, without a doubt !!
Thanks Kulin, you guys all did all really great. Lets try again with mom next year.

The best experience ever!!
Reviewed by: Clover, 2017/05/25This was my first time snorkeling and Dan was a great teacher! He guided me through everything and made sure we were ready before heading out to the waters. I'm so glad that he was our guide..I don't think I would ever be able to do it without him. If you want to learn how to snorkel and see some beautiful fishes and turtles go with Blue Hawaii Divers!
Thank you Clover, you guys were awesome. Hope you had a great honeymoon! Dan.

Fun!
Reviewed by: LEB, 2017/04/24Such a great experience! I'm not a strong swimmer, but the guides went the perfect pace for people of all strengths. They start by teaching you how to use the snorkel equipment, then you follow one of the guides around to see all the reefs and the fish. It was fun, easy and the perfect addition to a trip on Oahu!
Thank you, glad you had a good time. Dan and Chieko.

Great Experience
Reviewed by: danaj, 2017/04/22What a great snorkeling experience!! Although we had snorkeled before (quite a few years ago), my husband was not able to complete the adventure even though Chieko tried to pull the 2 of us around. So, my husband went back to land and Chieko pulled me around (I just had to relax and enjoy). We saw so many & beautiful fish. I would definitely recommend this tour.
Thank you guys, glad you had a good time. Chieko.

Fun trip!
Reviewed by: Sarah RH, 2017/04/03My BF & I were looking for something just like this since it had been many years since we both went snorkeling. Our guides were friendly, prompt, and knew what they were doing. They provided all the equipment and snacks for later. They made it very easy and it was a great trip! Would definitely recommend and use them again! Oh and they allow you to dl the photos they take for free!!
Hi Sarah, glad you guys had a fun time. Hope we see you again. Dan and Chieko.

Absolutely Fabulous Experience
Reviewed by: LATOYAYE, 2017/03/11This was our first experience with snorkeling...but I was convinced that we could not go to Oahu and not see the ocean life for ourselves. Dan and Cheiko were great.
We paid for a group of 5 (3 adult, 2 children). We had to pay the full price to have my grandmother brought along, even though she was not participating. With that said it was suppose to be just our small group to the two guides. This was especially important to me as the two children could swim and the adults in our group could NOT swim well. It turned out two others joined us, so Chieko was mostly their guide and Dan was with the four of us. It was raining that day, so my grandmother was not able to come observe (so paid and not used). Although I was not expecting a refund for her experience necessarily, I was a little put off that we were then charged extra for the optional wet suits to keep us warm (given the weather that day). That really is the only thing I would improve, but given the nature of the business, that may be challenging.
Otherwise, it was FANTASTIC! Dan was amazingly patient and made the experience great. The children, although swimmers, panicked with the snorkel equipment and sea animals. The adult limited swimmers had a blast! Even on a dreary, rainy day. LOL! they took awesome pictures that we were easily able to download from their social media page, so one less thing to worry about doing especially given first time out. I would definitely recommend this experience no matter what skill level, it will not disappoint.
Hi guys, hope we see you again on a nice sunny day. Dan and Chieko.

Fantastic Family event
Reviewed by: Gunnison Family, 2017/01/14As a family of four, this was a fantastic experience with Blue Divers of Hawaii. Our trip in winter was a bit of a windy day. However, our guides had wet suits that we could rent for the snorkeling trip. Saved all of us on that chilly day. Guides were excellent with making everyone comfortable in their masks and keeping us together as a group. Best part was seeing the turtles and the small shark!!
Hi guys, glad you had a good time. hope we see you again. Dan and Chieko.

Great fun and friendly guides
Reviewed by: Shirley , 2016/09/12Dan and his wife were lovely and very helpful with the group of 9. Being a first time snorkeler and not a very good swimmer, they were patient with each and every one of us. We saw some lovely fish but unfortunately did not see turtles that day! :( Will definitely be back next time though! 10/10 would recommend especially for first time beginners.
Thanks guys, glad you enjoyed. Hope we see you again. Dan and Chieko.
