WHY WE RECOMMEND HAWAIIAN DIVE COMPANY AND ALOHA SCUBA DIVING COMPANY

Simple answer: because we've been through their program! I personally went through their program recently (February - April 2024) to go from an SSI Divemaster to a PADI Master Scuba Diver Trainer. It was a great experience, and I can attest that their IDC Staff Instructors spend a lot of time to make sure you are fully prepared for your final examinations. Hawaiian Dive Company is owned by an active duty Navy Officer, and he genuinely cares about setting up service members and veterans for success. If you are still active duty, they're flexible and will work with your schedule to ensure you can meet all the course requirements.
