We did the advance open water certificate with Tim. He is super kind, accommodating, and easy to work with.Diving with Tim is the opposite of intimidating. He is super passionate about ocean creatures. We had a lot of fun diving with him. The photos Tim took for us during the dives were also priceless. Highly recommended!
Dive Propulsion Vehicle Certification off shore by Tim was a fabulous time. It was hot and he got us in the water right away and we had a nice long dive over the reef using scooters. We had the surprise of our lives when we bumped into a crown jellyfish, as jellyfish are one of our favorites! Luckily Tim had his camera and snapped a photo for a keepsake! Safe and reliable diving with Tiny Bubbles. I was diving with my daughter and Tim was dependable enough I didnt need to worry about her. I just thoroughly enjoyed the dive.
Tim is the best! I found Tiny Bubbles looking for a Scuba place near my hotel. Im so very thankful that this was the spot I chose to get certified. Tim made it fun, easy, and confidence inspiring. He has a lot of local knowledge of the area and the sea life. During one of my dives a Monk Seal joined us. Nuts. Crazy . Mind blowing. It was unforgettable and there is no question that I will be back. Now you cant always have a Monk Seal, but the other 3 dives I did with Tiny Bubbles still stood out. We saw a lot of amazing marine life on all the dives and Tim really helped develop my skills as a diver.Mahalo Tim!!!
We have used Tiny Bubbles two years in a row. Tim is excellent. He has outstanding local knowledge. He finds critters we dont even see. His photos are great. And he is an excellent teacher. For certifications, refreshers or a great dive, choose Tiny Bubbles.BTW he didnt pay for this review and were not related. He really is this good!
Tim helped me through my PADI certification and it was crazy easy with him. I have gone in several dives with Tim and we just went in one at mala warf. That was truly the best dive I have ever been on. It was amazing, the water was clear, turtles everywhere.Really I dive with tim, he cares about you and about the ocean life.
We had a fantastic time with Tim doing scuba during vacation He is very informative and truly loves for others to have a good time. He loves what he does and clearly shows. We definitely recommend his business to anyone looking to have a good time.. you wont be disappointed.
Had a great time underwater and can absolutely recommend Tiny Bubbles. Tim really knows everything and explains it in detail - looking forward to the next dive ;)
I dont even know where to begin, that is how wonderful our experience was! Our experience began the day before with the instructor Barry texting us to confirm time and reservation. He asked our sizes and experience. He even included pictures and a short video from his dive that day! You can tell this was not only his profession but his lifes passion! We were so excited and couldnt wait. The morning of the dive Barry gave us a short introduction and training class in the pool. This was extremely beneficial as my fiance had never been diving before. She had difficulty clearing her mask, and Barry was so patient it was unbelievable. The extra time spent in the pool made for such an enjoyable dive. He was calm and assertive which built confidence . The dive was perfect! Barry took amazing photos and videos! He also delivered them to us by text by the time we were finished eating dinner! He even included encouraging words in his text that have us talking about getting certified to continue diving. Putting it simply, Barrys passion for diving is contagious! Well done Barry! I will be recommending you to all my family and friends!
My wife and I dove with Tiny Bubbles today. Since she has far less experience than I she was feeling quite a bit of anxiety as it has been several years since our last one. Tim was very patient and put her at ease giving us over 60 minutes of bottom time. I have done night, deep, wreck, cave and other dives over the last 25 years but today was the first time I have gotten the opportunity to hold an octopus! Awesome and thanks for for the great experience...
Loved the amazing service we got from Tim. Normally we dont do shore dives but this was super convenient if you are staying in Kaanapali. We also loved the photos he took and hand delivered to our hotel the next day. Such a better experience overall than the large boat tours!
I rarely write reviews but I had such a good time with Tim and Tiny Bubbles that I have to let the world know its the best intro to SCUBA possible
Tim is great. I did my SDI open water certification with him. We were always small groups or sometimes even 1:1. I can definitely recommend him for scuba classes!
We had the greatest time diving with Tim. We did 3 dives at different locations; and every single one of them was an awesome experience! We saw lots of fish (frogfish, moray eels, triggerfish, sharks ... just to name a few), turtles, corals, octopuses (yeah!) ...Tim made sure everything was perfectly organized. The dives were super relaxed so we could really take our time looking at the amazing underwater life. The group sizes were very small (mostly it was just Tim and the two of us) so everyone got the chance to take a close look at everything.If youre looking for relaxed diving on Maui, Tiny Bubbles is the place to go. Well definitely come back when we visit Maui again.
Great bunch of guys!!! My wife and I did an intro to scuba with Tim six months ago and had a blast. Very friendly staff and the whole experience was totally relaxing. This trip we came a little more prepared and got our PADI certification with Tim and Rob. These guys changed our lives for the better and opened a new underwater world. Tiny Bubbles Scuba is for sure a Maui must do.
My girlfriend and I were the only ones this day to dive with Tim (aka Timerz), and it was amazing. Tim is great, loves what he does and it shows. He’s very through and informative. Felt totally comfortable. Dive was everything I expected it would be for my first time. Thanks Timerz! Greg and Cindy
While on our Honeymoon we had a chance to meet Robert P. A young, enthusiastic and extremely knowledgeable dive instructor that works along side of Tim. Robert did an outstanding job making us feel comfortable and safe through the whole certification experience. In addition, he showed us some excellent reefs during our dives where we had a chance to see various fish, turtles, etc. The experience was breath taking and the underwater photos/videos are a must have. We would highly recommend working with Robert and choosing TinyBubbles as your certification center! We definitely will be back to see both Robert and Tim for recreational dives the next time we are in tow!
I’ve been trying to give this business my money since December. I inquired about diving in May when we will be there and received one email back right after the inquiry. I’ve called four times and emailed two other times with no response. I finally decided to go with another company in the area who actually wanted my $700.
Me and my brother went here to get certified, Tim and Berry were very helpful with making sure we understood everything and they really knew the environment, they showed us cool marine life and we even saw a squid.
My first dive ever was in Punta Da mita Mexico in January and was not the best experience. Yesterday in Kaanapali Maui we had the pleasure of diving with Tim from Tiny Bubbles. I was a bit nervous at the start but he spent 2 hours of pool instruction being so calm, patient and thorough. By the time we got onto the water I felt really good and at ease. We immediately saw a large turtle followed by so many beautiful fish, Barracuda and then another turtle which we were able to swim along side while he snapped our photos. His sense of humour made our experience so pleasant and fun all the way from start to finish. You could not ask for a better instructor especially for a beginner.After our dive with Tim I felt we must go back and do another so we booked another dive the next day. I cannot thank Tiny Bubbles (Tim) enough for the wonderful dives. We can’t wait to come back and go dive with Tim again. Thank you so very much Tim!! Definitely the highlight of our trip. 😎🌺 Anita & Dale 🤗👌🏻🌺👏🏻
Best ever
This place is the best.
I made reservation online and was never contacted about doing the dive. I also tried calling and only ever got the answering machine.
