Itinerary
Once checked in at the shop and all equipment has been fitted and loaded, guests will be driven approximately 2 miles to the Kukuiula Small Boat Harbor.
There students will be given a detailed briefing about the fundamentals of SCUBA diving, including basic theory, safety, equipment use, and underwater communication.
Once the briefing is complete, they will have the chance to practice the skills and get comfortable in the water with their SCUBA equipment.
Next, it's a short walk to the boat where they will get a boat safety briefing from one of our coast guard certified captains.
Our maximum depth for each dive is 40 ft, and we will do two dives for approximately 30-45 minutes each from the boat at some of the most famous South Shore dive sites in Kauai.
The whole experience takes roughly half a day, and the skills you learn will help prepare you for the Open Water Diver course if you choose to later become a certified diver.
Snacks and drinks are provided on our dive boat, which is the largest and most spacious dive boat on the Island.
Once finished, your instructor will drive you back to the Dive Shop to process your successful course completion.
