Kauai

[stewr]

Good morning. I am new to diving and to the forum. So I am going to the island of Kauai in the beginning of November. I was wondering if any one could give me an idea of the better dive shops to visit,will I am there.I am thinking of doing some adventure dives will I am there in the warm water.

Cheers. Stewart

I dove with Seasport Divers while in Kauai in June...they are awesome!

Another recommendation for Seasport divers. They're professional, friendly, safety conscious, and thorough. Our DM took the time to ensure that everyone got the chance to see interesting life, had all the information for logs, etc. We did 2 dives with them, including Sheraton Caverns (lots of turtles!). They have a small shop near Kapaa, but the main one is in Poipu.

Originally, we'd booked through Bubbles Below, but canceled as we felt that they were needlessly pressuring us for more business.

I would also consider Fathom Five, if you can go out on their newer boat. I posted a pic of their boat on another thread a while back. Seasport also runs two boats as I recall, I've only been out on their smaller boat but it was a good setup. The main adventure dive is the Ni'ihau trip, but I doubt you'll find someone to go in November unless you get a set of really calm weather. I set up some shore diving with Aquatic Adventures, worth a look if you want some local guides.

+1 for Fathom Five! Good op, and really sweet people. Plus they rinse, and store your gear if you're diving multiple days which I really love!

Have Fun!

I've only ever been out with Bubbles Below and they showed me a good time.

I was just there last month. Looked at Seasport and elected to go with Fathom-Five as I needed an op who would clean, dry and store my gear for me, a service which Seasport did not offer.

Dove with D/M: Tobie. Had a great time. 6-pack boat vs. Seasport's larger boat.

No regrets!

I've been out with them before and am here on Kauai now. I hooked with some people that will be diving with them tomorrow.
