Scott was wonderful to work with when we started the planning process, as we were traveling with our 4 year old. Scott initially offered to take my husband and I separately down to dive while the other waited on shore with our daughter, which would have worked, but we chose instead to use Kaua'i childcare to have a nanny watch our daughter at a nearby resort pool via Resort Pass. We chose to do a private dive so that we could do two tank dives each (we dove together on both). Scott provided all gear including dive computers, masks, fins, snacks, and water! He had thought of everything to keep us comfortable and make the day run smoothly. The price was incredible considering the value of the experience! On the dive, we saw several green sea turtles, numerous types of eel including a dragon eel, probably up to 50 different species of fish including the rare fire angel fish, and an elusive harlequin shrimp. One of the best things about booking Kaua'i scuba adventures was that Scott was able to take photos of the dive for us and shared all photos and videos with us immediately after the dive! It was like hiring a private photographer on top of a dive master. 10/10!

Eric and Carrie were amazing! Our family of four had a wonderful time with a private boat tour…read more My wife and two adult boys snorkeled while I did a two-tank dive (both of them were a little over 60 minutes!). Eric and Carrie treated us like friends and through our conversations, we actually learned a lot about Kauai marine lives and more! And here's what I entered into my dive log book for reference :) Amazing first dive!! Eric and I dropped down at the deep end at 64 ft, then gradually made our way cruising up the reef. The marine lives were amazing. We saw two white reef tip sharks, a rare Guineafowl puffer, an elusive octopus that squirted ink on us as it tried to escape, an impressive size moray eel, a few turtles, lobster, and many other marine animals that I couldn't remember. Eric has an amazing ability to spot well camouflaged marine lives and I'm very thankful for his encyclopedic knowledge of Hawaiian fishes once we surfaced and Eric shared interesting history and information about the local marine ecosystem. The visibility of the second dive was amazing! The coral shelf was colorful and impressive, with lots of big corals that look super pretty and healthy. Before the dive, Eric spoke about invasive species and one of the notorious ones in Kauai is called the Crown of Thrones starfish, which is a super scary looking starfish with venomous thorn-like spines all over its body. They eat corals!! I asked Eric if we might see one, and he said he will try to look for one. And voila!! We stumbled upon a smaller one but it looks scary enough. Eric explained that one needs to be caught and killed with special training and equipment because its spikes are venomous and it would spawn when under attack, which might cause a bigger problem for the coral reef. In addition to the scary starfish, we also saw lobster, green turtles, and at the end of the dive, a very hard-to-spot but very cool to look at frog fish. I don't even know how Eric can spot it. It looks just like a piece of leave! Our boat was literally surrounded by green turtles when we all got back to the boat! All in all, another gorgeous dive!!

Our adventure started months ago working with Blondy over email and a couple calls to begin our diving journey. Blondy was wonderful to work with and so helpful! When we made it to Kauai our open water certification dives began the next day- and after a wild and frustrating time getting to Kauai I misread (and 100% my fault because their emails are clear to read) our start time and our wonderful Dive Instructor Savanna waited for us through being 1. Late. and 2. going to the wrong location (again- I'm blaming my exhausted brain after a stressful journey to Kauai. Not their communication which was 10/10). THEN the first skills I thought I'd tap out. I couldn't calm down and I thought I'd have to quit. Savanna was so insanely patient with me. I feel like I added at hour to our time because I kept panicking. Savanna has the patience of a saint. We made it through day 1. Day 2 of dives went well until I again almost panicked at the bottom and Savanna kept me down and tried to help calm my breathing. I was able to finish my skills even when I was ready to tap right out, AGAIN. absolutely the most patient human ever. I had my already certified daughter with me and she was able to dive with me initially and then move over and dive with Clay who had a small group of certified divers and she said it was awesome. Clay took her to see some cool sites, she had such a good time that the next day of dives she completely ditched us old ladies to hang out with the cool kids to dive. Our 2nd day of dives ended up getting moved around because of an incoming storm- our safety was Bubbles' top priority and you could tell. They wanted to get you out there so they kept in contact to get you on the water when it was safe. When we were able to get out there for our final day of open water dives one of our party was having issues inflating and deflating their BCD (to be clear- user error, the equipment Bubbles put us in worked great!) and again Savanna showed so much patience and worked with us to get us certified safely. To tie this all up I a nice little bow- I will 100% recommend Bubbles Below to anyone looking to get Certified and to go dive with them if they're already certified. I look forward to coming back and going out with them again!

Shannon picked us up. We came to Kauai October 2014 on Crown Princess. We were there only 1 day and all dive shops advised that we docked too late to go on any of their boat dives. The few that would do beach dives required us to get to them. Shannon picked us up at the cruise port. They would only let her in the gate to where the car rental shuttles were picking people up, but we found each other and got off to a great start. She drove a long way with a short stop at a dive shop to a great cove that seemed to be an old boat ramp drive in entry. We suited up and she had us plan the dive to dive the rim of the cove one side and go across to dive the rim of the cove coming back into shore on the other side. The fish were great ... so were both turtles. She pointed out a scorpion fish hiding in a coral fan. It was an awesome dive. She would have done a 2 tank dive if we had wanted to. Price: $125 and that included everything, all equipment, snacks, fruit juices, including driving us there and back to the ship. I HIGHLY recommend Shannon. Awesome dive master, great dive, super service. She is also offering lessons to locals. http://www.epicdivingadventures.biz/

From start to finish Fathom Five Divers offered an incredible experience. I picked this shop over the others in the area because their response to my email enquiries were so detailed and helpful.

She made the dives fun and educational at the same time. Her passion for diving was infectious. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for an instructor or even just a guided dive. For the Enriched Air Diver course our instructor was Reid. He too, was very knowledgable and an excellent teacher. Also, when one of our divers had to cancel one of the course dives they were very accomodating in rescheduling his dive for later. All in all, we felt we were in great hands the entire time, we felt safe, welcome and well attended to!!
