Aqua Zone Scuba

Reviewed by: Karen, 2010/06/13

What a fabulous time! My children of 12 and 16 were apprehensive at first but by the time they finished the trial at the poolside, they were ready to dive in! The crew made my boys comfortable and ready to come home to get certified like their mom and dad. Highly recommend for any new comers or even those that are already certified!

To our friends at Aaron's Dive Shop

Reviewed by: Bruce and Liz, 2010/06/02

I can't thank you enough for your assistance and professionalism working with us while we were in Hawaii. You were recommended by my son serving in the Navy, based in Pearl Harbor. My (newly open water certified) daughter and I wanted to dive while we were in Hawaii. We had a very small window of opportunity available and you made it possible for us to have a dream come true dive in Shark's Cove. Our instructor/guide Josh came in on his day off to take us on two amazing dives. With Josh's leadership we saw many species of fish, spiny starfish, eels, swam through lava tubes, along walls of lava all with 100+ visibility. Liz and I could not have imagined more perfect dives, or a better guide. Thank you for being flexible to our schedule, and helping us have the time of our lives. If we have the opportunity to visit Oahu again, we will be sure to call ahead.Thank you.

Great Experience

This was my 1st saltwater dives, so I didn't know what to expect. Jeff and Melanie were outstanding and took good care of us. They made the entire experience a great one.

Certified!

Reviewed by: Danielle & Andy, 2010/05/20

I just wanted to say a big THANK YOU for the amazing experience while we were there. Andy and I were certified during our stay on Oahu and we are so stoked!! Cameron was an awesome instructor, as was the rest of the staff at Aaron's. So kind, helpful, and friendly! We had such a great time. I cannot think of a better beginning for 2010 and an experience we will never forget.

We had a great time scuba diving with AquaZone. This was the first time for all of us. We went as a family and the staff was great with training and with instruction during the dives. We all decided we would do it again!

Intro to scuba

Reviewed by: JayandAdrienne, 2009/06/17

This was our first time attempting scuba diving. Jeff was very informative, helpful and patient. We went to two different sites for our 2 tank dive. He even went so far as to jump into the water and check the visibility; to see if it was a good site. We felt this excursion was a value for our money. He explains everything in detail before going out on the boat, and made sure everyone was comfortable before proceeding forward with the dives. All in all this experience has made us want to become certified.

Great Experience!

Reviewed by: Mr. Anonymous, 2009/01/17

My husband and I don't swim very well so we got very worried at first, but after the swimming pool learning it make easier for us. Scuba Diving actually didn't require a lot of swimming, as long as you can padle your legs you should be fine. Our instructor is very nice and knowledge, and he will take care his group and make sure everyone is safe for sure. I had a lot of fun in this scuba diving. I saw the biggest sea turtle ever in my life which make this a wonderful experience.

Great Couple of Dives

Reviewed by: Mr. Anonymous, 2008/09/02

We dove to a downed Course Air at 120 ft and Koko Crater about 30 ft. The Course Air was very cool and second dive to Koko Crater was great too, lots of sea life including a half dozen sea turtles. The dives were both led by Scott a master dive instructor who was fun and professional.

PADI Open Water Certification

Reviewed by: HK, 2008/04/18

I've always wanted to be a certified scuba diver, and I'm so glad that I just decided to do it finally. The instructors at Aaron's Dive Shop were very professional and friendly, and they made the whole process easy. I had to do a bit homework but it was totally worth it, and I got to learn a lot. They answered all the questions I had, and explained throughly until I understood. So by the time I finished all the academics, I had a confidence to go underwater and play!

The two dives took place in Hawaii Kai, and I got to swim with a lot of Hawaiian sea turtles! They are the most relaxing animals. I also go to see some octopus, eels, etc.

I am now a certified diver, and I am ready to move on to advanced diver course. Thank you Aaron's Dive Shop!

First Timer

Reviewed by: Mr. Anonymous, 2008/03/15

We've never done a scuba diving before so we were a bit afraid of it, but we ended up having a great time. The divers were very safety-oriented, friendly and patient. Actually, one of my friends had to be escorted to the surface because he was not aware that he was running out of air!

The sea was a bit rough that day, so I did my portion of throwing up. TAKE A MOTION SICKNESS MEDICINE if you are prone to seasickness. It's not fun.

Overall, excellent experience though. Thank you!

Top Notch Operation

Reviewed by: Mr. Anonymous, 2007/12/12

Very safety conscious and good people at Aaron's in Kailua. I'm doing my open water certification now (the intro course) with them now. These guys are passionate, patient, and enthusiastic to introduce new divers to the sport. I recommend Aaron's over some of the higher-volume Waikiki-based operations because they're very well-established with locals / military personnel, so it's not so much a numbers operation (not to say anything bad about any of the operations in Town as I haven't experienced them, nor do I care to).

Regarding a previous comment, as a first-time diver on vacation a few years ago I greatly preferred skipping a pool and getting right into the ocean on my first day-dive. Time in the ocean vs a few hours back / forth and in/out of a pool is precious. Comfort of starting in a pool must depend on a person's individual comfort level, but I would think any credible operator will follow the same precautions in the ocean that they would in a pool. Good think to ask about

SCUBA DIVING AT TURTLE CANYON

Reviewed by: Mr. Anonymous, 2007/06/20

IT WAS THE FIRST TIME FOR US. WE WERE NERVOUS AND EXCITED AT THE SAME TIME. THE STAFF WAS REALLY FRIENDLY AND WELL INFORMED. THEY WILL TAKE THEIR TIME WITH YOU SO THAT YOU GET FAMILIAR WITH THE EQUIPMENT AND SURROUNDINGS. JUST BREATHE, HAVE FUN, AND THEY WILL BE THEIR TO GUIDE YOU. JUST IN CASE, I RECOMMEND BUYING MOTION SICKNESS PILLS. EVEN IF YOU DON'T THINK YOU'LL GET SICK, TAKE IT. WE LEARNED THE HARD WAY BUT STILL ENJOYED THE ACTIVITY. THANKS GUYS! IT WAS A LIFETIME EXPERIMENT!

Reviewed by: Susan Stepovich, 2007/05/24

I ended up not diving because I was uncomfortable and a little afraid with the idea of actually scuba diving. I also felt very quesy from the boat ride. The staff was nice and understanding about my decision, they were not irriatated or pushy. They did however not offer to refund my money though, which I am ok with since I guess I technically tried, (ie had all the gear on and entered the water-only to quickly get back on the boat). I feel that a two tank dive is too much activity for a new diver and that a pool lesson would have made me more comfortable. A ten minute video shown in the van on the way to the boat is not acceptable. I would only recommend this activity to certified divers.
