After 4 years on the mainland, dropped by here to get an opinion on some ancient Hammerhead gear I…read morehad (like 8-10 year old speargun & different brand fixed 3-prong). Kipp took a look and said he could fix everything for cheaper than I was expecting. He said I'd just need a new cassette for the gun cause the mech was bad (I was expecting this) but when I came back after he was done he ended up changing out an entirely new handle with all the parts - didn't charge me extra for it, kept it at the agreed price for work, waived the labor fee's for cutting off the ruined fixed spear head and attaching on a new replaceable one for my 3-prong, and gave me a discount. So stoked that this old stuff is like new again and is ready for plug some fish once again after how bad it looked when I brought it in. Kipp & Irie were real nice and helpful. Gonna make the drive here all the way from Kaneohe side when I need gear/repairs from now on cause it was a great experience on my end big Mahaloz Hammerhead

If you've been around the diving scene for any amount of time, you already know about Hanapa'a…read more These guys are the OGs. I've been dropping by every time we're back on the islands for over 20 years, and it's still the first stop off the plane. I will say though, service can be a little rough sometimes. Some days are good, some days not so much. But honestly, that's never been the point of this place. You're not coming here for some polished haole sales pitch of some sort, you're coming because these guys know what they're doing and they'll get you what you need so you can get back in the water. And that's where they really shine. Need a j tube? They've got it. Need a new band? They can fab it up in like 5 minutes so you can still make it to the spot on time. They almost always have exactly what I need in stock and at a fair price. You'll see some of the best divers in the islands and honestly, some of the best in the world just casually stopping in. The shirts and designs are also totally underrated. They've got their own local style and I've of course picked up a few over the years and they hold up good. Hanapa'a is one of those rare functional places you can always rely on. it's rooted in the community, and it delivers when it counts. If you dive, you already know. If you don't, this is where you start. Just don't be a Karen and you'll be good.

When it was time to upgrade my short fins and diving mask that I literally found on the beach -…read moreWestside Dive & Tackle was the spot I decided to go to. I walked into a few other surf and snorkel spots but they mostly carried short fins. I went with the Leaderfins which are the most affordable carbon fins. The fins do come separately from the foot pocket, so I also got their forza foot pockets. They do offer a service where they put together your fins and foot pockets but only certain people are trained on that, so I did have to pick it up just a few days later- and that service is $30. I also got a pair of diving socks to go with my fins. They have different sizes, thicknesses, and cuts (high vs low). I also got a new diving mask and snorkel. The best thing about going to a dive shop is the ability to try things on and Westside Dive has so many different options. Being able to put on the foot pockets with the diving socks or even just trying on a few different masks to find the one that best fits your face is why it's better to come in person than buying online. The service was also super friendly. I was making some big purchases, so I wanted to make sure that each component was exactly right and the staff here was helpful and overall super chill. We talked story for a bit, exchanged where we like to go diving and even some fish recipes. If you're looking for diving gear, support local and check out Westside Dive!

I usually don't do this kind of thing but I have been annoyed ever since I've been to this surf…read moreshop. To start, my partner and I went in because he's looking for a new fish board and he wants very specific dimensions. We were so excited because we found the perfect board! It was a HIC Steve Morgan 74 fish BUT there were a few pressure dents on the deck AND the bottom of the board. These dents are bigger than a quarter and all surfers know they will only get bigger. To preface, we saw that the board was already marked down $50 but we thought it was a normal markdown/sale (a lot of boards were on sale). So after seeing these dents, we asked for help from an associate (older white guy in a collared shirt). When he came over, we asked about the pressure dents. His response was incredibly rude and passive aggressive, he said something along the lines of "Well you see these dents it's already marked off $50 because of this." Just super rude. Now keep in mind, we were going to spend $900 on a "brand new board" with pressure dents. We were overall just curious about the price of the board and if anything else could be done. My partner and I have also worked in a surf shop, surf often, and have had a hand in shaping boards so we're somewhat knowledgeable in this area. If there wasn't a further markdown, we would have spent the full amount on the board but that man was so rude that we put the board back, said thank you, and walked out.
