Trident Adventures

We had an outstanding scuba diving trip with Trident Adventures. Steve and his team are excellent—highly professional, knowledgeable, and friendly, taking great care to address each diver's individual needs. We explored the fantastic wreck sites of the Sea Tiger, the YO-257, and the San Pedro. The marine life at all three locations was impressive, with frequent sightings of green sea turtles and large schools of reef fish. The dive equipment was in superb condition and impeccably maintained, and the boat was spotless. The selection of refreshments for the surface interval was a thoughtful detail. We would highly recommend Trident Adventures for a safe and memorable diving experience.

Spectacular experience. Our Cast Master Teri was super fun. Excellent safety briefings. Very efficient operation. Owner Steve (Navy Seal) was very interactive with us. New helicopter, new boat, top tier equipment and staff. Pilot has over 4,000 hours flight time and the banking was super fun.

The boat and equipment were top of the line- nicest equipment we ever used diving. The crew was great - 3 dive masters and 2 captains on board. Max led us (me and my 3 kids) and he was very conscientious and friendly and showed us all sorts of fantastic stuff. The vibe on the boat with the other divers was friendly and pleasant. Steve and Jerry were lots of fun. The women in the shop and shuttling us to the boat were very nice, as well. Top notch business hiring top notch people. We saw tons of huge turtles, an octopus, huge eels and lots of fish. A great day on and under the water. I’d strongly recommend this company to anyone.

3/15 Just did an introductory dive tour with Trident Adventures and what an unforgettable experience! As someone totally new to diving, I couldn’t have asked for a better crew to guide me through it. They were super friendly, patient, and made the whole thing feel safe and exciting from start to finish. The vibes were great, and I got to see some amazing marine life up close. Whether you're a total beginner or already certified, these guys know how to make it fun and memorable. Huge shoutout to the awesome crew for making my first dive such a blast. Can’t wait to come back for more! Edit: 4/13 Unforgettable Experience with Trident Adventures – AGAIN! This was my second time booking with Trident Adventures, and once again, they exceeded all expectations! I recently did the helo jump, and it was an absolute blast. From start to finish, the crew made sure we felt safe and confident, but they also knew how to keep the energy high and the vibes fun. You can tell they genuinely love what they do, and it makes all the difference. A month ago, I went scuba diving with them and had such a great experience that I knew I had to come back for more. Whether you're diving below the surface or jumping from a helicopter above, Trident delivers epic adventures with professionalism and a personal touch. Highly recommend to anyone looking for an unforgettable time.

What can I say about these guys other than they are an extremely professional outfit with amazing experience! All of the staff was extremely competent and excellent with everybody on board the boat. Exceptional customer service and care for everyone. They did a nice job of making all of the diving approachable, no matter what folks' experience level was. We had people like me, who were Dive Masters, all the way down to a young boy doing his first dive...and everybody was treated with just the right amount of care needed for their particular comfort level. That is unusual in customer service outfits so kudos to Trident! The boat and dive gear were exceptionally well maintained and everything went flawlessly. I don't know what else I can say to make this a more glowing review, other than hats off to Steve and all of his staff, would and will highly recommend Trident!

Absolutely fantastic dive shop! The instructors are professional, attentive, and welcoming. The boat is recently renovated and well-equipped. We had two guides for just five certified divers, which made the dive smooth and enjoyable. The entire crew of five was incredibly kind and helpful throughout the trip. The pricing is very reasonable—gear is all included, and the optional video package was $30, which was a great deal and turned out amazing. Highly recommend this dive shop for both new and experienced divers!

A Memorial Day to Remember – Helicopter Jump with Trident Adventure This Memorial Day, I had the honor of jumping with Trident Adventure — and I can say without hesitation that it was one of the most powerful and exhilarating experiences of my life. As a veteran, Memorial Day carries deep meaning, and Trident understood that. From the moment I arrived, the team’s respect for the day, and for those who served, was evident. The staff – many of whom are veterans themselves – created an atmosphere that was both professional and purpose-driven. This wasn’t just about the thrill. It was about honoring courage, sacrifice, and the bonds that connect us. The helicopter jump itself was unforgettable. Leaping from a chopper feels raw, intense, and personal. There’s no runway, no build-up – just a hover, a nod, and then the leap. In that split second of freefall, there’s clarity. The gear was solid, the briefing was tight, and the landing was smooth. But what stood out most was the heart behind the whole operation. Trident doesn’t just offer a thrill — they offer connection, remembrance, and a damn good way to feel alive. To my fellow vets: It’s not just a jump — it’s a salute.

I have been diving all over the globe. By chance strident adventures responded to a "contact us" email where I was requesting a package where myself and my oldest daughter (22) could scuba dive while her boyfriend, my other daughter (18), her boyfriend could snorkel and my wife just come along for the ride/experience. Steve (owner and former Navy Seal) is legit one of the coolest, most down to earth and charitable person I have ever met. I'm sure he has a million stories about being a Seal and could have talked all day about places he had gone and experience. He ONLY talked about these things if we asked him about it. He was ALL about us and making sure we had a memorable and enjoyable time. One of his dive masters (Robert) was phenomenal! This was my daughter's first ever salt water dive. Everything she had done in the past was all fresh water around Arizona. When we began our descent she started to panic and went back to the surface. Robert took his time and helped her overcome these anxieties and helped her make it to the bottom. We enjoyed a 2 tank dive in 2 reef areas. There were sea turtles everywhere!! Was such a great trip. The other employee that helped my other family members snorkel was also great! Very professional and fun group to be around. We had such a fun and memorable time. After our dive we wanted to get some "merch" from their dive shop so we drove the 1 mile down the road and bought some really good shirts and other items. Steve's charitable foundation is amazing too. He shared some videos and stories of people that had come out to experience something that they normally wouldn't have ever had the chance to do. The experiences that he shared with us were very personal and special. He has a huge heart and great team to help him that allows people with varying handicaps experience these amazing things. We are customers for life! The boat and equipment were all top of the line. Very clean and well taken care of. It's 100% worth the extra $ to go with Trident Adventures!

We had a great time! We went for a two-tank shallow reef dive, but when fewer people showed up, they asked us if we wanted to do the Sea Tiger shipwreck dive. It was amazing, and I am glad they offered it to us as a last-minute option. We saw sharks, turtles, eels, blowfish, and even a merman with long flowing hair riding an underwater scooter with no gear at 100 feet. He looked like one of our crewman. Our Divemaster and crew were focused on our safety yet still entertaining. The boat and equipment are first-rate and organized. Altogether, their professionalism and the care they put into their work will make you feel safe and give you a great memory for a lifetime!

One of the very few unqualified 5-star reviews I've ever given. Since 2021, I've booked 4 dives and 1 helicopter jump with Trident Adventures, and every experience has been as fun, exciting, convenient, and thoroughly professional as can be. Their attention to safety, preparation, and quality of equipment is unparalleled. As for SCUBA gear rentals, they use spare-no-expense, top-of-the-line gear that is identical to my own back home in California. In addition, they are one of the very few shops that offer the hands-free, saddle-type TUSA DPVs. Special shout out to our dive masters this past week: Matthew, Faith, and Bryan, as well as our captains: Aidan, Max, and Jerry. You are all the literal best. Thank you for helping make this vacation for me and my family one of the most memorable we've ever had. Mahalo nui loa.

The staff, and dive operation is top notch! Shout out to Faith for guiding us diving several days!

What an incredible experience! The entire team at trident adventure made the helicopter ride and jump fun, professional, encouraging, and most of all safe! These guys really go out of there way to make each individual in there care know that they are valued and make each experience personalized and memorable. I can't wait to do my next jump as well as explore the other adventures they have to offer like scuba and snorkeling! My biggest problem with this review is that yelp will only let me give them 5 stars it doesn't seem like enough! Great family memories at a great price!

Talk about the MOST AMAZING experience I've ever had. Ive been around the world and even done skydiving here on Oahu. NOTHING compares! The staff was so friendly and Steve is the absolute best owner! He took me personally down with him and was so patient. Even when I was 35ft down and had a freak out moment, he took me up and told me I did good. I am so hooked and I can't wait to go again with my family. And his love for the military is beyond compare! He's a true friend and brother! If you ever have a chance to go... YOU NEED TO GO! This is the best scuba company on Gods green Earth!

Would go again. Was fun and safe. Crew was very proffesional and accomodating. They can go higher or lower based on your comfort level.

I have been diving all over the world, Australia, Belize, Bora Bora Caribbean et cetera this had to be by far one of the top 5 coolest dives I've done. We went to someplace called crack pipe and ran into upwards of 10 giant sea turtles, an eel whose head was the size of a small child, as well as an up close look at a cigarette snail. ( one of the other divers brought it up from below it turns out it is deadly ) The captain was professional, the crew was attentive, And my 13-year-old daughter who is new to scuba diving also had a great time. I appreciated the short but succinct safety briefings, they did a great video package which was only 30 bucks. Snacks and drinks afterwards were all so good. Originally I had chosen them because we are staying at the Aluani resort and they were originally out of the four seasons next-door, after Covid they had to move to the aloha tower. Although less convenient , worth the trip. I will be back to do more of their highly recommended dives. Five stars

Awesome diving right out of the harbor! Clear water. Lots of wildlife. Reef and ship wrecks. Great crew. Boat. Equipment. Etc!!! Highly recommended.

It was my first time diving in Oahu and I'm glad I went with Trident Adventures. There are many to choose from (especially in a tourist hot spot like Honolulu), so "Safety", "Customer Service" and "Gear" were my top priorities when choosing a dive company. When I saw that Trident Adventures was founded and operated by former Navy SEALS, that sealed the deal (no pun intended )... I've meet a few SEALS during my time in the Marines and they are the most highly trained, professional and courageous individuals you'll ever meet. Bottom line, they are "THE BEST"! If I trust them with my life in the battle field, I would definitely trust them with my life in the ocean. Day of the Dive, Crew: Mason (Boat Capt), Max and Tyler (Dive Master). They had plenty of snacks and drinks for the dive party. Conditions: Big Swells, Strong Currents (above and underwater). Gear: I brought my own Mask, Snorkel and Fins. The dive gear they provided was impressive! The BCD was a high-end ScubaPro Hydros Pro! Now I want one! They also provided a Shorty. Dive #1, Sea Tiger: It was my first time diving to see a wreck and it was ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!! Got a couple of good shots on the GoPro. Even got to see a sea turtle swimming along with us. Dive #2, Reef: Unfortunately, I had to pass on this dive cause I got sea sick. I should have listened to my wife and take Dramamine. Lesson learned! Overall Experience: I had a great time with the crew! Even though my 2nd half of the trip was spent sea sick, they did their best to help. Tyler even gave me ginger candy, which helped! I will definitely dive with Trident Adventures again! Even book their helicopter jump next time.

What a great experience. The staff and support personnel were amazing. How much fun it was to jump from a helo into the ocean.

I'd like to Thank Stephen, the owner of Trident Adventures and his highly trained crew Robert, Maria, Ian, Brian, Nick, Pilot Jeff, Mike, John, Captain Mason, and Des for an amazing time. If you're looking for an adventure there's only one place to go and that's Trident Adventures. My wife has a fear of hights and I have anxiety about swimming in the deep ocean but they went out of their way to make us feel safe and comfortable as we conquered our fears . We jumped out of a HELICOPTER into the ocean and then went scuba diving 40' below. This was the best experience I've had since I've been on the island and to top it off we were surrounded by military personnel, our Hero's. You can do every activity on the island but if you haven't experienced Trident Adventures then you are missing out.

I am a former employee at Trident. The company is amazing, I truly believe we have the best customer experience on island for diving. Steve really cares about the customers that come on the boat and will always go above and beyond for every customer to make sure they have an awesome time. As for the rest of the crew everyone is like a family which makes every charter so much more fun for everyone. If you want to dive in Hawaii this is where I would tell any of my friends or family to go.

Steve and his crew were a blast to have as our first guided adventure on our vacation, will be very hard to top! They made us feel like family and made the experience extremely enjoyable. Recommend checking them out and if your truly daring, try the jumping out of the helicopter into the water; they're the only ones providing that service. Thanks again guys! ;)

I never would've thought that jumping out of a helicopter into the Pacific, but today I have it a shot. My adventure seeking 14 year old wanted to try it out and we are both hooked!! We will be back to jump, dive, snorkel and hopefully try out their underwater scooters. The team there is absolutely phenomenal and genuinely love their jobs. We cannot wait to sign up for our next adventure!

Bucket-list experience for our special-needs child! I could not have asked for a more professional, customer-oriented operation - this company is the real deal. Our severely autistic, intellectually disabled son has been bugging us to jump out of planes and helicopters since he was 10 years old, leaving us replying with "uhh . . . not until you are older" while scratching our heads and hoping he would grow out of it. Thanks to Trident Adventures, he had the experience of a lifetime this week! At first, I did not realize what we were getting for the price, so let me fill you in: -A mini-helicopter tour of the Waikiki area with an extremely experienced pilot who will fly as dynamically as his passengers dictate -A jump from the helicopter into the ocean, anywhere between 10 to 65 feet above the water (based on sea state and jumper preference), with safety swimmers waiting below -Waiting next to the drop zone will be a fully equipped dive boat, ready to equip the jumpers with SCUBA or snorkel gear over a great dive site with lots to see -Guided SCUBA/snorkeling -Snacks and beverages provided on the dive boat -After SCUBA diving or snorkeling, the dive boat will return to the pier, and passengers are transported back to the Trident Adventure store (where they originally parked). I initially had no idea that so much was included in the price, but there are a lot more intangibles worth mentioning that really set this experience apart for my family: -It was clear that safety was paramount, as every reasonable aspect was briefed, including emergency contingency plans. As a former Navy pilot and Navy-trained SCUBA diver used to highly detailed briefings, I felt right at home as Steve walked us through the plan and "what if" scenarios. -This is an operation run with military precision, but also with customer satisfaction the highest priority (ok, second highest priority next to everyone's safety). Trident Adventures will bend over backward to make sure you have the most memorable experience possible. Here are a few ways: -Want to SCUBA dive after you jump? No problem. If you have no SCUBA experience, they will put an instructor with you for an introductory dive. Already a qualified diver but need a buddy/guide? Not a problem. -Want to snorkel instead? Not a problem. -Not sure if you want to dive or snorkel? Want to change your mind? Feeling unsure/scared/nervous? Not a problem. You can throw on some SCUBA gear and try it with an instructor, then switch to snorkel gear if you prefer. Or you can snorkel and throw on a tank for a quick intro after. They will work with you. -NONE of these options increase the costs. -Have a family member not keen on jumping out of a helicopter? No problem, they can ride the boat out to watch you jump, then snorkel/SCUBA dive with you. -A truly ridiculous level of photo and video documentation. Steve was taking photos and video constantly as we worked through the training, launch, jump, and follow-on dive activity. There were no less than 6 GoPros mounted inside and outside the helicopter, with more carried by staff underwater documenting every moment. For $30, you'll get access to about 50 GB of raw footage from every possible angle. You can leave your devices with the staff and enjoy the experience without having to worry about photos/video and keeping track of your electronic gear - they have you more than covered! -All equipment was top-level that had clearly been prepped with care and attention to detail. Everything just worked, allowing everyone to focus on enjoying the experience. -Trident Adventures is highly experienced in supporting special-needs and disabled customers, from wounded veterans to Make-A-Wish kids. They will go the extra mile to accommodate individual limitations and are incredibly supportive. It's clear they get a massive kick out of helping people achieve what they never would have believed possible before. Watching the grin on Matthew's face as the helicopter banked sharply over the ocean, then dramatically flare into a stable hover next to the dive boat while Mom screamed and waved from the deck is something I'll never forget. I stood next to him on the skids, staying out of the way while Steve did his thing from the other side, hoping I would not need to jump with him. But Matthew confidently launched himself off the skid at the first count of three. The next thing I knew, Matt was snorkeling with Mom, while my oldest son (who has no SCUBA experience) knelt on the ocean floor next to me 45 feet down while we gazed upon 4 sea turtles getting cleaned by fish, with Steve watching over us with the GoPro running. After Steve returned my son to the surface (new diver excitement eats up a lot of air), he returned with a powerful thruster for each of us to stick between our legs, allowing us to rip around like Iron Man before it was time to head back to the boat. What an epic day for my family!

Highlight of my trip! GREAT! I saw lots of sea turtles! My family did the snorkeling and had a great experience. They have these little propellor things you can hold in the water that were SO fun. The captain and sea hands were amazing also. Our boat looked like we were having more fun than the others. They played music and had sodas, teas, and snacks, too! 100% recommend doing this.

I have been diving all over the globe. By chance strident adventures responded to a "contact us" email where I was requesting a package where myself and my oldest daughter (22) could scuba dive while her boyfriend, my other daughter (18), her boyfriend could snorkel and my wife just come along for the ride/experience.

We are customers for life! The boat and equipment were all top of the line. Very clean and well taken care of. It's 100% worth the extra $ to go with Trident Adventures!

The best! I've been diving on Oahu since the 1990s. Trident Adventures offers a world class dive experience. The crew were friendly, very helpful, and treated everyone as a valued guest. I've earned several certifications with them and the instruction was ALWAYS top notch! The first aid class I took was on par with the training I had as a first responder. They were organized and professional and willing to share their expertise. I can't recommend them enough! Best fishes!

**MILITARY VET TAKES THE PLUNGE: My Trident Scuba Dive Master Adventure!** **Background**: As a seasoned Army Special Ops Medic, I dove headfirst into Trident Adventure's waters, aiming to conquer the depths and emerge as a certified Dive Master. Zero dives to Advanced Open Water, here's the real scoop! GI Bill months cost are 7 months 15 days = ~ $15,000 Certifications achieved = PADI Open Water = yes, PADI Advanced Open Water = yes, Rescue Diver = yes, PADI Dive Master = No. **First Splash**: Anchored at Aloha Tower, my mission began with a mix of high hopes and choppy seas. The deck was set, but the compass spun with variable class times and a maze of parking. Ready to navigate the unpredictable? #DiveLife #MilitaryPrecision **Mission Briefing**: Charted course straight from PADI's playbook - a solo recon mission in self-study. My first dive? Like a night op without NVGs. Confusing? Yes. Thrilling? Absolutely. #NoGuideNoProblem #SelfTaught ‍ **Crew Readiness**: Instructors with sea legs, but teaching like unpredictable currents. Needed to draw on my own tactical training to breach the surface. #AdaptAndOvercome #LearningOnTheFly ‍ **Hands-On Deck Drills**: Training hit like a squall - sudden and intense. Built my dive reflexes, but where was the slow and steady? #SinkOrSwim #InstinctOverInstruction **Gear Check and Conduct**: Top-notch kit with a crew that knew safety. But loose talk about shipmates? That's a no-go in my logbook. #SafetyFirst #TeamIntegrity **Personal Ops**: I tackled uncharted territories, boosting my confidence to navigate undersea landscapes solo. Came out battle-hardened and dive-ready. #PersonalGrowth #UnderwaterWarrior **Calling All Recruits**: I salute vet-led operations, but this one? It's a mixed bag. My advice: scan the horizon for all available dive teams. I'm charting a course for new waters with a different crew. #VetBiz #ContinuingTheMission **Overall Rating**: Middle of the buoyancy scale - 5/10. Trident Adventure, you've got the potential to rule the seven seas, but let's tighten up the ship, aye? #DiveWithHonor #AlwaysImproving **Navigator's Tip**: For my fellow vets looking to take the dive through the GI Bill, there's a sea of options. Keep your periscope up for the best ops training command out there. I'm not done yet - the quest for the Dive Master badge is still on! ‍ #DiveMasterMission #SpecialOpsDiver #ScubaJourney #ReviewTheDive I salute the sealancers.org as a non-profit dive organization on JBPHH that is a good fit for mental health dive exploration or check with Wounded Warriors.

Wow. This is a phenomenal experience. Once in a life time kind. The team made everything feel exciting and fun from the beginning. From the energy, to the equipment, to the way they thought of EVERYTHING. This is the way to go. Whether you're visiting O'ahu or live here. It's very clear how organized and safe you are too. Can't wait to go again! Saving up now :)

Great diving very friendly and pleasant staff. Did the wreck dive and shallow reef water was super clear. Would recommend.

10/10 diving experience. I certified with Trident Adventures 2 years ago and now I only dive with them when I return to Oahu. Top-of-the-line equipment (the "Ferrari" of scuba diving), nice boat, professional crew, and much-needed snacks. You are treated like royalty on deck with help with your gear, including mask defogging, so that you can just focus on the dive. I dove with them this week and got a private excursion - Sea Tiger wreck + Kewalo Pipe! Saw a reef shark, countless turtles, eels, an octopus, and schools of fish. Depending on your comfort level, you can also use their motorized underwater scooters. Regardless of whether you are a beginner or advanced diver, I strongly recommend Trident Adventures. They are navy seal owned and operated, meaning you will get a safe, exhilarating, and first-class experience!

Had the best day with the Trident crew. I was certified with Trident five years ago and it was an amazing experience. We are back on Oahu with our son and HAD to go with Trident to introduce him to the world of SCUBA. Steve and his crew are the absolute best! Our next adventure.... Helo jump! Thanks guys!

Wow! Where do I even start! The whole experience with Trident Adventures is top notch! From the easy booking online to the actual activities, it doesn't get any better. What i will also point out is that safety is a top priority, you are educated and briefed on everything going on, no guessing. Equipment is also top of the line, clean and well maintained, no junk here! The staff is very friendly and attentive, you feel like you are a long time friend..we did snorkeling, scuba diving and the helicopter jump (so cool!) And while you are at the shop, make sure to pick up some Trident Adventures merch, they have some cool gear, (shirts, hats, hoodies, etc..) I want to say THANK YOU to Trident Adventures for making our 33rd wedding anniversary so fun and special. We will be seeing you again soon and EVERY visit we make to Oahu moving forward, we had an AWESOME time!

It was an amazing experience and all the staff were extremely awesome. We did the jumping off a helicopter and for the first time being in a helicopter, let alone jumping from one the instructors made the nerves go away. They ensured all personnel were briefed before hand with a power point. having those visuals and seeing what safety measures they had in place was awesome. It was well worth the price and I will be definitely be doing the other things they offer.

The Trident Adventures Crew never disappoint! They offer great snorkel and scuba experiences! The crew treats you like family and they really strive to make sure that you have a great time. They also specialize in scuba certification and jumping out of helicopters. My recent crew, Jerry, Tyler, Isaiah, Cannon, and Sarah were amazing! Mark and Marlena were teaching cast master students and it was really interesting to see all the things they have to do. Even the owner Steve joined us for our last dive! If you're looking for a scuba or snorkel experience definitely pick Trident Adventures!

INCREDIBLE experience for my 5 year old's birthday week! She did the helicopter jump and had so much fun. She got to the boat and yelled, "I want to go again!" The safety aspect of this operation was incredible, I felt confidence and comfortable with my child jumping out of a helicopter, which is saying something! This company goes above and beyond offering you a special memory. THANK YOU Trident Adventures!

My wife and I had the best experience. Highly recommend! Hands down amazing! All the best equipment, former Navy Seal led. Who could ask for more. Tyler and team are cool and fun.

We were looking for a dive and snorkel option as one of us was not a ceritfied diver. Steve's crew blew our expectations out of the water. We had a wonderful charter with jordan, tyler, isaiah and captain jerry. Wonderful boat and crew who made us feel incredibly safe and encouraged us to have lots of fun! Our favorite activity this trip and an epic experience not to be missed. People make the place and Steve's crew are the best! We couldn't stop smiling all weekend thinking back on it!

If you are looking for an adventure go no further. This is unlike any experience you will find on the island. Steve and crew made the helicopter and dive experience unparalleled. This is a family activity you can not do anywhere else. My kids will remember this experience for the rest of their lives and have been thanking us all day (and teenagers are hard to please)! It was well documented with pictures and videos for us to reminisce and share with our loved ones. My daughter had the time of her life and will always cherish her first dive as you made it so comfortable for her. My son couldn't get enough and is already planning when he can go again. I would recommend trident Adventures to everyone. Thank you for this experience Steve!

Somehow 5 stars is not enough to capture the absolute magic that Trident Adventures created for my family. Imagine you're in Hawaii for the first time, you MUST dive while in this paradise AND, your 10 year old wants to go with you for the first time. Pressure and game on! Thanks to the Yelp family, I came across Trident Adventures and the rest will be part of our family narrative. Alejo, Dusty and Jaden are the absolute best. Captain Dusty had us on the boat and on site quickly, on a boat that was modern, clean and super equipped, snacks, drinks and all. It didn't hurt that we were the only ones on the boat either, thus making it seem like a private tour (got lucky there). Jaden made sure Mom was taken care of while snorkeling, as Dad and Baby went diving. Alejo was an absolute Godsend! He had my 10 year old down and comfortable in minutes. He swam with her like he was taking care of his own. In roughly 39 minutes we saw dozens of old turtles and innumerable fish. I swam along in awe as I watched my baby experience at 10 years old what I waited half my life to do. I was able to watch her experience her first ocean dive without worrying about her safety. I could not recommend them more. Trident Adventures has helped create another generation of SCUBA diver. Buy the video! We've been watching them non-stop.

Had the most amazing, epic, and awesome, time with Trident Adventures Hawaii! Their team is highly trained, super professional, and very informative, yet light hearted and comforting in a fun adventurous way. We felt like family. They truly care for their customers and have so much to offer. You can tell that they have a passion for what they do, and a passion to share it with others. I would do this all over again and recommend this company above any others.

I have lived and dived on Oahu for 22 years, i will not dive with any other company! The staff, equipment, focus on safety, is unmatched. The owner is a former Navy Seal with a passion for sharing the wonder of scuba diving with the world! They will take great care of you and your safety and enjoyment of exploring this beautiful ocean is the focus. If you are thinking about trying diving they offer intro dives, if you are experienced they offer endless adventures! I love this company!!!

This is my second time as a resident of Oahu using Trident Adventures for jumping out of their helicopter, followed by Diving. Im a certified scuba diver with over 500 dives and so was my buddy, but his family had never experienced it and Steve who owns the company and is also a master diver and former Navy seal took his wife daughter Son and daughters boyfriend on an introductory dive and I must say it was amazing seeing them all underwater with us not freaking out not having any issues just really enjoying the experience. Everybody was so elated after the dive and especially the helicopter jump. STEVE makes everybody feel safe, and assured that nothing bad is going to happen. He has built a career with all his experience being a Navy seal on safety and precautions and going by the book when it comes to taking care of customers, I already have people that are wanting to come visit me in Hawaii and do just that, jump out of a helicopter and go diving and I will go right back to Steve, no questions asked he is showman. He's always smiling and having a good time, I've never seen anybody in my life enjoy his job more than he does. He also does an outstanding job of being a videographer underwater and up in the air. He has GoPro mounts all over the helicopter and inside and captures every moment and every smile, and you can sense the excitement when you watch the videos of yourself having the time of your life. Go treat yourself to the trident adventure experienc

Went out with Trident for the second time and the experience, staff and crew are always amazing. Max works his butt off and if you don't tip the man, I say shame on you. Never have to lift a finger with him around. As for the experience, Trident Adventures doesn't provide cheap gear for rentals and the cost of not having your own gear is worth the cost. Their pricing for dives is on par with other places I've been and will continue to dive with them, when on island.

I was so nervous and almost didn't go through with the helicopter ride, jump and scuba but I am so glad I did it! It was AMAZING! Let me should it from the mountain tops... If you are even slightly, remotely, kinda thinking about it, BOOK YOUR TOUR TODAY!

What an absolutely amazing adventure! My husband and I jumped out of a helicopter and scuba dived! We have been doing things to fight my fear of heights and this was the best experience! Safety and instruction first, top notch instructions and their confidence level creates such a safe environment for all. Steve, Maria, Rob, Ian, Pilot Jeff and team helped talk us through the the process, our fears and put us at ease! Amazed at ourselves and amazed at this team. Thank you Trident!

Not only was I so excited to do this excursion they gave military discount BUT the email that was sent to us told us to go to the wrong location for pick up. We showed up an hour early at the PICK UP SIGN FOR TRIDENT ADV. AT PIER B ( which the email stated to be at ) and waited and WAITED until 2 . We called up and they told us to go to the shop which we couldn't find. We were walking around looking for the shop for a bit. We gave up and just called for a re book but today was the last day that they were doing that excursion. I'm so upset about this. A half day in Waikiki ruined and money wasted on 3 parking lots looking for this shop. THE WORST PART WAS WE NEVER GOT A REFUND. Robbery without gun point.

If I could describe Trident Adventures in one word! It would be INCREDIBLE! I had such an amazing time! The water was so clear I saw 3 turtles together chilling on a shipwreck and a few more swimming around. So many beautiful fish and the world and environment was so incredible to explore. It's so beautiful and peaceful under the sea but while we're on route to the dive site, I felt like I was treated like royalty, an actual queen. Everyone is so nice, smiles and good vibes all around. They helped me in and out of my gear. I've have 2 back surgeries and was a lil worried but they made it safe, easy and fun. I did tell them bcz looking at me you'd never know. They give refresher courses for those tho need it and have some really cool toys to use! They literally think of everything. Fun level 1000% Adventure level 1000% Crew and captain terrific people, helpful and kind. 3000% Safety and experience 10,000% If you come to Hawaii! Make Trident Adventures a MUST do on your list! Such an incredible experience from Start to finish, everyone meets at the shop then we take a bus over getting to make friends who like minded adventurists seeking a good time. Then a short walk to the boat and off we go. They noticed I was chilly getting out of the water and even gave me a jacket before I even mentioned I was cold. Omg! And that pineapple they served us helped so much with the salty ocean mouth. I had even got to grab some souvenirs for my family back home! Do it! You won't regret it!!

Such an amazing time and an epic adventure with Steve and his Trident Adventures crew! Can't recommend the helo jump enough ... just an incredible experience and then the diving after was icing on the cake!! Special thanks to Marlena, Tom, Ken and Brian for making the time super special for my son and I. Thanks Trident Adventures!

Just went for the helicopter jump and was tons of fun. They are very respectful and made sure safety is a priority. 5 out of 5 experience .

Trident Adventures is hands down one of the most thrilling and amazing helicopter experiences! Steve, all of the staff, and the pilot were knowledgeable, accommodating, and FUN! As apprehensive as I was to make the jump, I felt reassured by their safety guidance and protocols. I highly recommend Trident Adventures and look forward to booking with them again at The LineUp at Wai Kai!

Bucket List: Snorkeling with Turtles!!! I've never experienced something so thrilling and majestic at the same time. We snorkeled with Trident Adventures who were absolutely amazing. I had never snorkeled before and was super anxious. They were very patient and helpful! We saw some plastic bags and pool floaties out in the ocean and they made the extra effort to help keep the ocean clean and the animals safe. It made me so happy to be part of their adventure! I learned so much about the island and preserving its beauty. Highly recommend snorkeling with Trident Adventures in Ko Olina! It made the trip easy, comfortable and safe. We got to see a HUGE pod dolphins and baby dolphins, tons of turtles and a lot of unique fish. All crew members were very knowledgeable about the waters and sea creatures we saw. If I am ever back on the island I'll definitely book another tour with them without hesitation!!! Thank you for being the highlight of our trip!

Had an amazing time with Steve and his amazing boat crew as well as the team at Magnum Helicopters. Everything was top notch. It was obvious that safety was a very important aspect of the organizational culture as well. I brought my friend in for his bachelor party and it was an event for the ages. The helicopter jump was a once in a lifetime event and then the intro to scuba was much more fun than I would have imagined. The crew took videos and pictures of the entire thing too!

I don't ever write reviews, but my experience with Trident Adventures was so great that I feel compelled to share it and to recommend that you book an experience with them. I did the beginners/discovery scuba diving. I had two previous introductory scuba diving experiences in other parts of the world, but nevertheless, I recognize that I am very, very much a novice. This was by far my most pleasant and rewarding experience scuba diving. For those looking for a short review, you can simply read the first sentence of the following points to get the main takeaways from mine. Here are my reasons to urge you to book with them: - They are friendly, professional and clearly enjoy what they do. You feel as though you've been invited by a group of courteous friends who cater to your needs. Their excitement and joy are contagious. - They pay close attention to all matters concerning safety. They make sure you know what you need to pay special attention to and they do a terrific job of helping everyone enjoy their experience in a safe manner. This said, they are not militant about safety, but rather, make it a group effort to ensure everyone stays safe and enjoys their experience. - They tailor your experience to your experience and comfort levels. Because I have done scuba diving before, my instructor guided me through more advanced techniques, which I was so grateful for because it really made my experience "next level." Some of the other beginners took it slower and that's what they needed. There was enough staff for everyone to enjoy their experience in their desired way. - I don't think you can find a more reasonably priced experience for the attention, level of instruction, gear and individualized attention you get. Period. Lastly, although not directly important to your experience, I want to note that one of the owners (Steve Kaplan) was a pleasure to interact with and get to know. Also every one of the staff members was approachable, friendly and a pleasure to interact with. Captain David (emphasis on the "veed") was hilarious and made the experience all the more fun with his jokes that I have entered into my Dad-a-base of Dad-like jokes.

The helicopter jump (!!!) and snorkeling adventure was THE HIGHLIGHT of our two weeks on Oahu. My kids have not stopped talking about it. Three amazing experiences wrapped into one - helicopter ride, jump and snorkeling. Who could ask for more??? Doug from Magnum Helicopters gave us a fun and smooth ride out to the dive spot. Steve took amazing care of everyone in our group. Both my 7 and 11 year-olds were excited and really nervous but Steve made sure they were prepared and ready for the jump. Needless to say, both said "AGAIN" after they finished their jumps. And, the snorkeling was amazing too! The crew on the boat gave everyone the "princess" treatment and made the experience as easy and fun as can be. Highly recommended! Picture of the kiddos' jumps attached.

These guys/gals are the most professional dive crew I have had. Granted I am a novice with only about 12 dives under my belt, but I have used shops in Austrailia, Tahiti, Maui, Minnesota and Triton is the best. Even though this was a certified dive, they made sure us newbies were still comfortable and they were patient when I had troubles equalizing my ears. I always felt safe and in co tool of my equipment and situation which is huge for a new diver. A++ to this crew can't wait to return!

I cannot say enough great things about this company! Owned by retired Navy SEALs, this group of people took me on the trip of a lifetime. I jumped out of a helicopter into the Pacific, then got aboard their dive boat and went scuba diving. Through it all, retired SEAL Steve and his crew made certain that every one in our party was safe and comfortable. It had been a long while since I had been diving, but Steve and dive master Jaden took excellent care of me and made sure I experienced all of the beauty and excitement of the trip. The videos of the whole event were a huge bonus. I will not forget this day ever!

My family of 5 tried the Discover Scuba Dive. One son ended up opting out once we started descending and the other had to go up to clear his mask. Our dive professional, Malani was very sweet and patient with us. She had 2 assistants helping her but my sons said they weren't super nice to them. Unfortunately, once we got down and did all of the required stuff, we really only saw a few turtles and didn't get to really explore anything. We paid for the go-pro but got more pictures of they guy snorkeling and the crew doing free dives. Our pictures weren't very good, thankfully my husband had his own go-pro. It was only $25 so not a big deal.
