I'm getting ready to go back to Oahu. I travel to Oahu about twice a year to see family in Hawaii. When I do, I always make sure I get in some diving.
Alex is great. He lays it all out for you so that you can be sure that all that he says is true. He's very personable, direct, and has a perfect safety record. I always get to see great stuff because he keeps his dive group very limited...like 3 or 4 maximum, and I get maximum bottom time. One thing I appreciate is, he is not a hand-holder if he recognizes your ability. Also...because of these lovely "overweight baggage" charges, I generally leave most of my equipment at home. All gear is inclusive when I dive with him. No hidden costs. His brassy Brit outlook and accent just adds to the entertainment factor.
I have dived with several dive operators but think that Alex's Aquatic Adventures is the safest, professional, yet unrestricted diving that I have experienced. The owner is generally my guide and he does a great job taking me places that I would like and finding where all the native creatures hang out. I also appreciate that he keeps his diving groups small and exclusive. There's nothing more annoying than being in a "cattle call". I also appreciate that he has "no surprises" packages where I can get as little or as much gear as I need. (gotta love airline baggage fees...) Most of his deals are competitively priced and contains no hidden costs. Heck, he even takes pictures of your dives. Later you can go on Flickr or on his Facebook and view the pictures. I opted to buy my CD because I wanted the original file sizes. I think there was one package above what I chose that includes EVERYTHING....and I mean EVERYTHING...hot towels, dry towels, lunch, gear, photo CD...and more. If you're into the offbeat quirky humor of the British folk (as I am)...Alex is your guy...(yeah, he's from England)
