Logan and Jared was a fantastic instructor for me and my 10 yr old son's 3-day open water certification course. I heard great things about this through my sister who already got certified so we were scheduled to take the discovery dive but instead canceled that and registered to get certified since it has always been my bucket list for years. Logan was very friendly with his funny jokes but was strict where things needed to be which I felt was very important for my son because it's no joke when you are under water. During the skill test during our dives out at Koloa landing, even though my son passed the pool test with ease, he got scared with a couple skill test but I know in his mind he wanted it really bad and was sad. Logan generously adjusted to us by doing the same skill at 5-10ft deeper first before doing the same skill at 20-25ft which was the requirement to pass the test. Eventually my son passed the test and perhaps have the scuba swimming down a lot better than me :)
My son who has ALWAYS loved everything about the ocean since he was age one immediately got hooked and scheduled another dive with the recently certified family members too (4 of us total) and went diving. Dive master Jared and captain Rane was amazing and took great care of us. Dive sites werer PKs and Sheraton Caverns. It was amazing...
My son who... still couldn't stop thinking about diving used his own Christmas saving to book another dive, this time requesting Logan. He was so thrilled when he saw him at the dock and this time we went to Kipu Kai and Stone house. Whales were constantly singing, there was a pool of fish covering the entire ocean floor, we saw a Manta ray on our way to our second dive so we hopped right in and swam with it.
It's easily one of the best things I've done together with my son and Kauai Down Under was soo friendly and makes sure that you are getting the best experience. We became such a fan that we got Kauai Down Under hats and T-shirts! haha Mahalo!
