Blue Bay Wall, Curacao
This beach is fairly busy, as it is attached to a resort, but our group of 10 was able to get some loungers with some shade farther back on the sand. The dive itself was a fun wall dive, easy entry and a short swim out to the wall, with lots of ocean life to observe. We saw a large Green Moray Eel and Queen Angel Fish., and Trumpet fish. ...

Daaibooi, Curacao
This is one of my favorite dive spots while in Curacao. Easy, stress free, but lots to see! The dive was fairly shallow (my max depth was 26 ft, average was 17 ft), but there was lots of coral and fish to observe . We saw a turtle, peacock flounder, sharp nose eel, and lots of colorful coral. ... Show More Feb. 28, 2026

Jan Thiel bay, Curacao
This was an easy entry dive. Stairway into the water with a short swim out to the dive spot. Small sail boat at about 35 ft. deep. Our group also saw an octopus on the anchor on the way back. The day we dove the water was a little murky, so visibility wasn't the best, but was still a fun easy shore dive, ... Show More Feb. 28, 2026

Marine Room, San Diego
This was a great snorkel spot - highlight was seeing all the leopard sharks! I was only out for about 20 min and spotted over 5 Leopard sharks! Not much else to see as it is a sand bottom with minimal other fish, and no coral but still very cool and interesting!... Show More Oct. 5, 2018

Sheraton Caverns, Kauai
This boat dive was a great experience. I would recommend this dive if you are visiting Kauai. I really enjoyed swimming through the caverns, there was a ton of different marine life to look at throughout the dive. Luckily our group was the only dive group at the site during our dive, as it gave us more space to dive in the caverns. I can imagine it would get tight and chaotic with other groups navigating around at the same time. Some of the more interesting things I saw was several Green Sea Turtles sleeping under coral, a couple different eels - 1 free swimming Moray Eel, a Frog fish and a Sergeant Major egg patch . My max depth on this dive was 53 ft, averaging around 35 ft, Water temperature was 75 F. Visibility was around 40 ft. ... Show More Mar. 19, 2018

Bubbles Below Scuba Charters, Kauai
Our group of 7 did a 2 tank boat dive with Bubbles Below. I appreciated that this company only does groups of 10 or less, as it makes the dive more personable. Our Dive Masters were Anthony and Jordan. They were both very knowledgeable and friendly. The DM's listened to what sites we were interesting in diving, but also made sure the conditions were appropriate to get the best dive experience. While we were on the boat looking for a dive site, Jordan went through a book of Hawaiian fish pointing out different fish we may see during the dive. This was very helpful during the dive to spot different marine life. Before each dive a thorough dive brief was conducted by the DM's which made the dive experience more enjoyable as I knew what to expect. I would definitely return to this company for another boat dive experience. ... Show More Mar. 19, 2018

Poipu Beach Park, Kauai
This was a very shallow shore dive. The entry and exit are beginner level , just make sure to enter and exit along the sandy spots, as there is quite a bit of rocks along the shore you need to avoid. The day I dove this area the conditions were not ideal causing the visibility to be poor, average visibility was around 6 ft. We ended up getting tossed around by some waves and had to abort the dive. The max depth I got to was 9 ft, averaging around 6 ft. We did spot a peacock flounder at the beginning which was pretty cool. To be able to dive this area you would need perfect diving conditions, as well it would be best to go first thing in the morning as this is a popular beach for tourists and gets quite busy making entry and exit more difficult. ...

Salt Pond, Kauai
Entry and exit of this shore dive would be beginner - intermediate depending on the visibility. The entry and exit is quite shallow, combined with the waves made the visibility poor (about 5 ft.) You want to follow the rocks ledge out and go to the left. After you pass the ledge there is a lot of different coral to swim over. Visibility throughout the dive was around 20 ft. Average depth was 14 ft, max depth was 20 ft. Water temperature was 73 F. I saw a few turtles, lots of Hawaiian Cleaner Wrasse, Morrish Idol and schools of French Grunt's. ... Show More Mar. 15, 2018
