Diving in Oahu

[Fuzzy410]

Hello all,
I'm new to this board and am hoping for some advice.
Im off to Oahu for x-mas and am looking to dive for 1 day!!
Have contacted a couple of dive shops and am deciding between Aaron's dive shop, Ocean Concepts and Island Divers Hawaii...

Any reviews from any of these shops or any recommendations for a dive shop in Oahu, Hawaii?!?! Am hoping for a wreck dive...

Any comments appreciated.
Thanks!!:blinking:

Oahu Scuba Divers, aka Justleesa here on the forum

I don't know about your listed dive shops as I always go with and recommend Oahu Scuba Divers - www.oahuscubadivers.com

Justleesa is a member here on ScubaBoard and they offer great personal service for the diving. I've dived with them twice and loved it!

I have been diving with island divers for the past 8 months, steady. They are a fun op for sure. Lots of interesting and friendly instructors/dm's. 2 dive shops (one in hawaii kay the other on hickam). They dive out of both locations and they may have their own boat by jan.

Oh and they give the hot towels after the dive is done....love that.

I second this opinion...then again I am biased.

Excellent choice to go with Oahu Scuba Divers. I dived with them, just last week, and wasn't disappointed in the least.

Also, I saw Aaron's going out during one of our dives. Their boat was so overloaded that the backend was sitting very low in the water. Also, when a diver from our boat was down tying off to the mooring of the YO, Aaron's boat was driven over our diver's position in the water, despite repeated warnings from our captain that we had a diver down. Apparently, Aaron's wanted to tie off to the same mooring. This did not endear me to them.

Have a great trip and tell Lisa and Roger hi from me!

Will say hi to them from you
