Our planned dive was cancelled due to weather and Eric could not get through on the phone in our apartment which was not working. Most people would have waited for us to call when our pick up ride didn't occur. Very impressed that he drove over in person to let us know.

Owner description:
My name is Alex Mason. I am a PADI Master Instructor which is the highest instructor rating you can achieve from the Professional Association of Diving Instructors. I have been teaching SCUBA-diving in Hawaii for over 13 years with a perfect safety record. I am able to teach all courses from Discover SCUBA diving all the way through to dive master, I am also qualified to teach 18 different specialties.If you are looking for a small company that takes pride in what it does, you have definitely found the right place! I take out very small groups: a maximum of four SCUBA divers per diving Instructor for both the Open Water Certification course and our Discover SCUBA diving ADVENTURE! My maximum ratio for licensed SCUBA divers is 6 to 1; however 90% of the time we have between two and four SCUBA divers per diving Instructor.This does not mean I can not manage larger groups; I definitely can. For larger groups, I would employ dive masters or instructors to help me best suit your needs, giving you the best ADVENTURE ever. I will still manage the day and make sure everything runs smoothly, as I am always present with you on the boat. My company is small enough to care; my management skills are excellent so I can organize any size group.

I was a little nervous to dive by myself, but I wanted to dive in Hawaii while vacationing with non diving family. I chose Alex's Aquatic Adventures because of the web site statement and the promising things said about Eric. I am so glad I did, Eric is everything stated about him and more. From the moment Eric picked me...

My partner and I did the 2 day Open water certification with Eric. Eric was a great instructor, easy going and patient and thorough! :) Diving was a great experience in Hawaii! Alex is a great character, a real funny English bloke! I highly recommend it!!

We book an executive dive trip with Alex and man was it worth it! I know it was a bit more money than others, but the saying is true- " you get what you pay for!" As a newly certified diver I didn't want to be crammed on a boat with 20 other newbies all bumbling into each other and...

To start off, THEY MADE IT FUN! My experience getting my PADI Open Water certification was overall pleasant. I dealt with two people, namely Alex himself and my instructor Eric DuBois. Eric was very professional, relaxed and easy to work with and learn from. Alex and Eric were very safety concerned as well which is always a plus. The equipment...

I've been diving with Alex for more than 10 years. He now has an executive diving option that I and my wife took with him. 8 dives 2 days. Every dive was perfect. Alex doesn't just lead the dives himself. You get an education with him. He noticed my wife was overweighted on the first dive. Took out half the...

There are two ways to look at the very good scuba experience I had with Alex Mason, owner of Alex's Aquatic Adventures, off Waikiki today. If you think you do NOT need someone to focus on your abilities and weaknesses, personally, in a one-on-one fashion... if you think you are not rusty... if you are NOT worried about being a...

Dove the Sea Tiger and Horseshoe on Friday March 8, 2013. Couldn't of asked for a better guide than Eric Dubois and everything was taken care of including shuttle from the Hale Koa. On just a two tank dive, we saw spinner dolphins, a white tip shark, several green turtles and a couple eels. It was an amazing day. I...

I haven't done a resort dive in over 10 years. A recent business trip to Oahu afforded me the chance to dive as a beginner. The dive master, Eric DuBois was very enthusiastic about diving with beginners and focused on safety. He took us through basic skills and soon we were on our first dive. Unfortunately, we did not run...
