Trident Adventures

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

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!

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.

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

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.

**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 #ReviewTheDiveI 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.

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.

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!

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!

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