We went with Ocean Quest, (which is Fathom Five's shore diving company) for a 2 tank Tunnels dive. It was our only dive on Kauai since this wasn't meant to be a dive vacation. We almost canceled because the winds had really picked up and the forecast was for 30 mph gusts at tunnels. But, they assured us that the... More

We dove with Fathom Five and have mixed feelings about them. If you get Brian (DM) and Charlie (captain) great. Brian takes his time with the briefings and then at the site. He looks for things and makes sure everyone sees it/them. He goes slowly around the reef, taking his time. Charlie as the captain is very helpful. We then... More

After the Great Barrier Reef and the Mediteranean we decided to sprinkle in a few dives into our surfing holiday on Kauai... We stayed at KoaKea Resort, which is just a 10min car ride to the FathomFive shop. We checked in at the shop and than drove to the dive sites. On the first day we went to 3 fingers... More

Went out two times with Fathom Five. Nice people, funny and entertaining. We will not go out with them again though. Dive leaders were too louse in their safety briefing and execution. Night dive, no tank lights, no back up lights. Got down and could not tell who was the dive leader. Started following fins we thought they were the... More

We went diving with Fathom Five on April 23,2012. This was our first dive after getting our open water certification in August 2011. We let them know that we were beginner divers and they were very patient with us. Our dive master was Brian and our Captain was Charlie. We enjoyed the freedom of the dive, but also the attention...

Had my first dive in close to two decades yesterday with Ben (and Ryan and Captain George) at Fathom Five and what a great experience. Very professional. They kept a close watch on the divers, while also allowing people to dive to their ability. They let people request dive sites and accomodated the requests. I found them to be knowledgable,... More

I had a great time diving the Sheraton Caverns and Harbor Ledges with Fathom Five Divers. The staff was knowledgeable, friendly and fun! Mahalo Fathom Five.

We did a couple of 2 tank dives with Captain George and Lonnie in late March. The rental gear was great and we had an awful lot of fun. My wife, myself and our 12 year old son saw turtles, white tip reef sharks, octopi and lots of other stuff. We were met at the boat with green tea, kona... More

So while I was in Kauai I looked around online for a dive shop and found Fathom Five Divers. The website looked very professional so I... More

Fathom Five was a great choice for my dad and me. Both of our dive masters, Seth and Andrew, were extremely knowledgable of both Kauai above and below the water. Their personalities while diving made it very enjoyable. Our boat captain, Charlie, was also very friendly and talkative, which is hard to find. The dive masters cleaned our gear after... More
