Before I moved to Hawaii, I had never been in the water passed my waist. So, I had more than trepidation when my sister thrust upon me the gift of PADI Open Water Certification for my birthday. She took me to the shop and introduced me to Pat (the owner) and my soon-to-be-instructor, Tyler. I was immediately at ease upon meeting these folks. There was a family feel to the shop and I felt a genuine affection from these strangers. Needless to say, I was all over the place underwater. But Tyler has the patience of a saint and eventually I felt at ease. By the third day (certification day) I felt like a natural. So much so in fact, that I chose to go pro. I am now a Divemaster. In December 2008, I am moving to Roatan, Honduras where I have a job waiting! I was completely blind-sided by my new passion. I firmly believe that I would never have found this life if I hadn't felt immediately part of the Deep Ecology family. I can only say "Thank You" - but not nearly enough.

I have been to three different countries in the last five years and tried to get into scuba diving in each one as well as multiple dive shops in the states. When I came to Deep Ecology, not only did Pat and her entire staff treat me like family but they also were incredibly helpful and knowledgeable not only about diving and equipment but the importance of the ocean surrounding all of us and just how fragile the ecosystem is. I can't picture myself diving or shopping with anyone else. WAY TO GO PAT!!

Thank you for some amazing shore and boat dives, your staff is TOP NOTCH and your service is the BEST! The best diving on Hawaii.

Thanks Deep Ecology & teacher Tyler for the opportunity to explore the deep blue. It was an experience I always sought to master - and though my skills may not be spot on-I have officially found a new passion in life. Gracias.

It was the best diving and best people of my extensive diving experience. Really. You made my time here so rich. Thank you Pat. Tyler, you rock!

Great diving experience with a very knowledgeable dive company. The dolphins were awesome and the whale songs, breathtaking.

Great selection of souvenirs. A beautiful town.

Great site to dive in. Especially with great instructors!

Thanks so much for an awesome dive vacation - our first to Oahu but definitely not our last! Very thorough and well run outfit - we highly recommend [it] to fellow divers and future visitors. Thanks so much to Tyler and Pat. Great cause - keep up the good work.

This was probably the most solid dive experience I've ever had, from top to bottom it was fantastic. The instructors were extremely thorough, and just great personable people, very knowledgeable and overall it was just awesome.

Amazing! Thank you so much! Brilliant instructors! We'll be back!

Extraordinary dives. Very good service. Best diving place I've ever known. Thanks guys.
