Go West diving is full of warm, welcoming and interesting folks. Loved the facilities - clean with an amazing ocean view that can’t be beat! I got my own locker each day and was allowed to store my gear at the shop.
I did my AOW certification with Tim - who expertly guided me through all five dives. I learned a lot during Peak Buoyancy, navigation and NITROX.
I also did a few fun boat dives with them to the Mushroom Forest and Teremi- both with breathtaking coral landscapes. We saw turtles and moray eels. I was lucky and our scuba party was small each time I was on the boat.
The beach in front of the shop is great for a snorkel - sand is soft and it’s not too crowded. Beautiful reef life and gentle currents!
Overall, highly recommend this crew. Hope to be back one day. - via
I did 12 dives with the Dive Bus over 5 days. TDLR: Kind staff, great diving all over the island, knowledgeable & experienced dive masters
The people at the Dive Bus are kind and warm. They've been working together for a long time and act like a family team. That warmth really spreads out to their divers and makes the whole experience better. Everyone helps setup for dives. I met a lot of divers who have been diving with them for years and years, and I'll bet that's one of the reasons they come back. Special thanks to Zoe for driving us to and from our airbnb - so appreciated. And shoutout to Luna, the dive shop's dog!
The bus will drive you to dive sites all over the island - east and west, which makes it great for seasick-prone divers. However, for boat-lovers, you can do dives off a boat as well (it's a small lifeboat so pack real light). If you're on a budget or time crunch, I highly recommend the boat dives on the east side (Kathy's Paradise)! It was pristine and beautiful. Honorable mentions to Cas Abao and Watamula.
The dive masters know the reefs and the currents. Some of them have been diving the island for over a decade. They know where the animals are and will give you pointers on your diving. I also appreciate that they took the time to help us out with our equipment; my friend had some issues with her BCD and I had issues with my GoPro mount. Thank you, Mark, Nanne and Whitney! It was such a pleasure diving with you.
While I did not get any certifications with them, I think any of them would be excellent instructors. You really want people with years of experience under their belt and I would definitely do my certifications with them if I could plan it all over again. Thank you, Dive Bus for such a marvelous week of diving. Hope to be back soon. - via
