Aloha Dive

I am very grateful and blessed to have found this dive shop. I called around and explored many other dive shops but this one stood out. They got me started, as I have never been diving before in my life. Now I’m certified! Chris and Peter are excellent instructors and welcomed me into their diving family. I couldn’t afford all the gear, but Chris was nice enough to allow me to finance everything with no interest! Not to mention the gear was great and it was the best deal I can find including the Internet. They are very compassionate, friendly, caring and passionate about diving. I can talk to them any time for tips and advice. They want me to feel comfortable in every aspect. Best thing of all, they welcomed me to dive with them since I have no friends that scuba. Bottom line, Goto this place first! Best dive shop in the valley.

Chris and Pete are very knowledgeable and very helpful. I am glad I found these guys and appreciate all their attention.

I grew up diving with Aloha Dive. Chriss was the best instructor. Always fun, but also safe. I trust his team with my life. Best dive group I’ve ever known. I can’t wait to get back in the water.

I really enjoyed being trained and certified by Chris with Aloha. He is a good teacher he he trains you in a way that he knows you can understand. He makes it’s easy. Chris has advanced many divers from becoming certified to rescue diving to advanced dive to master dive and to become a instructor depending how far you like to advance. He has a a lot of knowledge with Scuba diving. It’s his passion. It’s a lot of fun

Well that was a colossal waste of time! I make a point of visiting dive shops when I travel. This week alone I’ve been to 5 different shops in TX, NV, & CA. This guy should save the money he’s spending on rent and run this sorry excuse for a retail business out of his basement.
Every other dive shop I’ve visited, I was greeted and immediately struck up a conversation on local dive sites, etc… As soon as I walked into Aloha Dive (which is a disgrace to the good island people) I noticed that 2 other customers were walking around aimlessly. They might have been waiting for tanks as this shops air compressor is IN the main showroom. I couldn’t hear myself think and I’m sure the person on the other end of the phone was not so happy getting yelled at over the noise of the compressor!
I walked around for about 2 minutes, looked at ALL 4 racks of «stuff» for sale and decided it was s good time to wander back out the front door. The guy on the phone never turned around or acknowledged my existence and for that matter had his back to the front door the entire time.
If you are a real diver looking for gear or just want some info about the area, don’t waste your time even turning into the parking lot. Mahalo for nothing, Aloha Dive.

Great shop! Really good service, not overpriced and a good find. The exact opposite of Sport Chalet, I highly recommend using Aloha for all your diving needs.

We did a two dive trip to the oil platforms and it was amazing. Very friendly and accommodating. The boat captain when out of his way to make our experience safe and enjoyable. Great day of diving. I will return for sure.

Gone in to this shop several times and always leave happy. Truthfully at first I went in to compare them with Internet prices and ended up buying from Aloha, as prices were same or better. They do not pressure or upsell like so many others… highly recommend

Chris is the BEST! I was nervous about diving and he made it fun. He went at my pace and made me feel comfortable. The rental gear he uses is all very high quality and the personal gear I bought here I love. There are a lot of choices when it comes to diving and I would steer everyone toward Aloha Dive Center. If it weren’t for Chris and his patience, I don’t know if I would have made it through but he made it so enjoyable that I can’t get enough :)

Chris is a great teacher, he is very friendly and is great with all his customers. The shop is awesome, and he does all his service in house, huge selection, everything from technical to recreational diving…

The dive instructor is great and the gear is top quality and affordable. I would recommend this aloha dive over any dive shop in la area. The best thing about this place is they don’t make you feel stupid for asking questions. You can ask anything and they will be happy to talk about it. These people love talking about scuba diving

When I decided to pursue diving; I took a look at all my options in the area. I Unilocaled all scuba diving shops in the area and personally went to each one. Out of all of them; Aloha Dive seemed to intrigue me the most. Aside from all the retro/​old school gear placed artfully upon walls, and all the rental gear you could need; I knew I had found thee dive shop. Shop owner and dive master, Chris Russello, was very professional, provided customer comfortability and exceeded customer satisfaction on the spot. I have continued to rely heavily on this shop for all my dive needs and instructors there are all trained by the wisest veterans to provide the fullest amount of safety to enjoy this spectacular and addictive sport; scuba diving.

Great neighborhood SCUBA shop. Every time I’ve been in it has been nothing fun and friendly people. I would recommend this shop to anyone interested in diving and having some fun.

Great shop. I picked up some new booties and gloves here, and they also have a «bargain bin» with lots of used face masks. I picked up a couple of those, too.

If you are interested in learning how to dive or want to pursue an advanced or specialty rating I highly recommend this shop. Chris, the owner and head instructor, is very experienced and professional. He can work around your schedule and is committed to helping you achieve your goals. He can also offer practical advice regarding gear recommendations and servicing.
