A World of Diving Opportunities
Kauai’s waters offer a breathtaking diversity of reef topography and an abundant assortment of marine life, setting the stage for truly remarkable dives. Dive sites like Koloa Landing, Sheraton Caverns, Zach’s Pocket, Fast Lanes, General Store, and more in Sunny Poipu act as nurseries for a vibrant array of colorful fish, including triggerfish, surgeonfish, parrotfish, butterflyfish, frogfish, scorpionfish, and moray eels. Majestic lava tubes, rocky outcroppings, and expansive coral structures create the perfect habitat for these marine wonders to thrive.
Meet the Hawaiian Green Sea Turtle
One of the most magical aspects of diving in Kauai is encountering the endangered Hawaiian green sea turtle on nearly every dive. These magnificent creatures can reach over 300 pounds and are abundant in Kauai’s waters. The key to their thriving population is the lush algae, their main food source, which flourishes here thanks to Kauai’s status as one of the wettest spots on earth. Nutrient-rich rivers flowing from our mountain ranges into the sea nourish this algae, keeping the sea turtles close to shore and providing you with awe-inspiring viewing encounters.

Conservation & Ecology Focused
The ocean (Moana) is at the heart pulse of what we do. Without the vast eco systems and diverse species on our reefs there would be no underwater world for us to educate, explore and enjoy. “The oceans deserve our respect and care, but you have to know something before you can care about it” – Sylvia Earle.
The #1 Water Experience in Koloa
After years of doing "Discovery" Dives I finally got my Open Water Certification. It was a great experience! Kate, our instructor was incredibly informative, patient, and thorough. She would not move onto the next skill until everyone in our class was comfortable with the previous one. Everyone associated with Dive Kauai Team was great, including the office staff. It was the highlight of my trip and the fulfillment of a long term goal of mine.

I'm not a certified or experienced diver. I got instructions from Nen and Logan. Both are highly professional and very knowledgeable in what they do. I had trouble with my ears on the dive but Logan was very patient and accommodating and I made the dive - which was absolutely stunning and not to be missed. If you're on Kauai - this is a #1 must do experience.

I was lucky enough to have two splendid days of PADI Scuba instruction with some real pros. Nen and Jared as Dive Masters were both professional, very knowledgeable, enthusiastic and patient. Capt. Davey at the helm of the Zodiac was great, and kept me laughing. With a pair of shore dives on the first day, this Wyoming boy was able to have a bit of practice remembering all the nuances to scuba.

ody is a fantastic teacher. He led my two teens through two days of diving at Koloa Landing. I cannot say enough about his expertise, great attitude, patience, and laid back nature. He truly excels at what he does... Jody was super organized and made the entire adventure amazing. His knowledge of local marine life in Kauai was an added bonus. I highly recommend Dive Kauai for PADI certification!

This was our first night dive and it was a great experience that I would highly recommend! There are so many things to see that you see better at night - octopi, shrimp, lobster, large puffer fish, and bioluminescent plankton. Very cool and worth the time to get a twilight and night dive in at Koloa landing.
