Which side of the island are you staying on?
Here's a string recommendation for "Bubbles Below" on Kauai. Linda Marsh runs a great operation! Their web site is http://www.bubblesbelowkauai.com. I would suggest making reservations as soon as you can as they only take out small groups and tend to fill up early.

staying near Poipu
The Kaimanu (Bubbles Below's boat) leaves out of Port Allen which is about 20 minutes from Poipu--well worth the drive.

I agree with WileEDiver. Seasport will be the closest to you but I don't recommend them. You'd be better of with Bubbles Below.
A couple of tips on diving in Kauai:
1) Boat diving is a ripoff there. I did one day of boat dives and cancled the rest. I saw nothing on the boat dives that I couldn't see from shore dives. Rent a tank and some weights and hit the road.
2) Best shore dive: Tunnels Beach. The downside is that it is on the north side of the island near Hanalei (cute town) and it is only diveable during the summer. Call or ask someone before you head up there to dive as it's either a place to surf or a place to dive depending on the conditions
. It has some great formations. Look up into the "tunnels" to find reef sharks taking a nap. (Between dives snorkle over the top of the reef and look down through the holes to find the same sharks ).
3) Definatly make the trip to Ni'ihau. Take dramamine wether you usually get sick or not, it's a rough trip, but the diving is worth it without a doubt. Monk seals love to play with the divers and there is a great wall there.
