# Kauai Scuba Diving for Beginners

**Guidekin's take:** Learn to scuba dive at Koloa Landing without prior experience, with an instructor and a choice of one or two shore dives. Scuba gear, a wetsuit and transport to the site are included; a medical questionnaire is required and may need a doctor's sign-off. 4.71 from 51 reviews at €196 per person for 4h 30m.

In our comparison: #9 of 10 in Scuba Diving, by rating weighted by review volume (table below).

## Overview

Always dreamed of discovering life beneath the waves? Now’s your chance, no previous SCUBA experience required! Dive into Kauai’s crystal-clear waters and explore vibrant reef systems teeming with over 1,250 species found nowhere else but Hawaii.
