My boyfriend and I vacationed in Oahu during the week of Labor Day. Before arriving he had called several dive groups to find out information so that we could finish our referral dives to get our Open Water certification. When we spoke to Alex at AAA, he informed us that he had owned his own boat, dive groups would be small, and that he we will practice and learn everything for the OW and it didn't matter how long it took.
Our main concern as potential new divers was how comfortable we'd be in the ocean (we don't really do any water activities). So with everything Alex mentioned to us we decided to give AAA a go.
During our first set of dives, we experienced a bit of seasickness- but once we got in the water it was pretty much gone. I had a bit of trouble going under initially and Alex was very patient and I was slowly able to go down. After we finished the tour, we were so excited to get back into the water, to my surprise we pretty much breezed through the skill portion because we were a lot more relaxed.
We were so excited after we successfully finished our second set of dives, we had gained our Open Water Certification. We had such a great time diving that we decided to do two additional dives with AAA. Our vacation had just turned into a diving vacation and we were both loving it.
Everything that Alex had mentioned about the quality of his teaching, was beyond our expectations. Alex also had a great crew with him. During our dives we had the pleasure meeting Chris and Matt. Both great guys and took good care of us throughout all our dives. We briefly met Kristen and Kelli, both also very friendly.
I would highly recommend AAA Diving for all diving in Oahu. Check out their website, talk to Alex, you won't be disappointed!!
Now if we can only find a way to get back there to do our Advanced Open water...
