Aaron's Dive Shop

Located at 307 Hahani St. in Kailua, Aaron's Dive Shop has been a fixture of the O'ahu diving scene for over five decades. Founded by Jack Aaron in 1971, the shop has grown alongside the Windward community, establishing a reputation built on decades of local knowledge and experience.

As a PADI affiliated centre, the shop offers a structured approach to both recreational and professional training. Whether you are looking to start your journey with an initial certification or are an experienced diver seeking specialised training, the shop provides the expertise required for the local waters.

The centre is deeply integrated into the local environment, collaborating with community organisations and educational programmes. This focus extends to their approach to diving, where ocean safety and practical conservation are prioritised in their daily operations.

With over 50 years of operational history, the team brings a wealth of experience to every dive. Their long-standing presence in Kailua means they possess an intimate understanding of the local marine conditions and site-specific nuances.

The centre offers a comprehensive curriculum of PADI courses, catering to every stage of a diver's development. Beginners can start with the Open Water Diver course, while those looking to expand their skills can progress through the Advanced Open Water Diver and Rescue Diver programmes.

For divers moving into professional ranks, the shop provides training for Divemaster, Open Water Scuba Instructor, and Master Scuba Diver Trainer. The curriculum also extends to higher-level instruction, including Assistant Instructor and IDC Staff Trainer roles.

Specialised training is also available, including Nitrox certification and Wreck diving courses for those looking to refine specific skill sets.

The shop is equipped to support various diving needs, offering Nitrox for divers looking to extend their bottom time.

For those travelling without their own kit, a range of equipment is available for hire. This includes essential items such as regulators, wetsuits, fins, and torches for night diving.
