Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

I was certified for my open water in 2022 at Waiheke Dive and had a great experience. Adam and the team are super friendly and competent. I have been back to dive with them since and enjoyed it. Highly recommend!

The experience was great. The team was nice from the beginning and organised. They were informative and helpful. The water was murky and not the clearest but the team were actively looking for different fish for us to spot throughout the whole experience.

Wonderful experience. We recently completed our open water PADI and walked past the dive shop deciding to find out more. The staff were super helpful we spoke to 3 different staff members are were really friendly and helpful answering questions. Our dive was led by Jack who was amazing. The equipment was slightly different than we had used before and the team was patient and helpful & we felt confident. The dive itself was great we saw octopus and the eagle ray which Jack pointed out.

Jake has been great this week - super helpful during the refresher dive as part of my ReActivate course and great fun as our skipper for a day of boat dives, along with instructor Jack who was also really fun and friendly. Highly recommend the dive shop and especially the boat day, as it was great to see more of Waiheke. Adam and the whole team were lovely when I was emailing from the UK arranging my dives and have been helpful and patient with me given it’s been a while since I’ve dived.

The best place I could ever have learnt how to dive. My instructor Jack was incredibly helpful with his exciting, fun and easy to learn teaching. Thank you Jack!

My first visit to Waiheke Dive and Snorkel was in January 2018. Almost 5 years later I am still a regular customer and always have a 5 star experience.
Today so much fun on the boat, First rate skippering from Jake with 2 fabulous dives with Jack.
This team are super friendly and a day out with them feels super safe, super chilled and super fun.

Highly recommended. I have been in and out of shop regularly. Adam and Lucy and the other team members are always really helpful, friendly and knowledgeable. However this is the first time I have been on one of the trips. I went on the Kelp Gardeners snorkelling event at Enclosure Bay. Gear and transport to the site provided. Well organised, safe and fun, and also a good cause: the mission is to remove excess kina so you help feed the local community, reduce the incidence of kina barrens and contribute to a marine study, so it's a win-win. The project seems to be working well, as there's so much kelp that at first it was hard to find the kina.
You don't have to be super fit, but it's good for people who are reasonably confident swimmers as you're going up and down in depths around 5 metres for an hour, and there's a wee bit of a swim out through the rocks to the site...about 100m.

Had so much fun on the trip with Jake 10/10, saw lots of eagle rays and a stingray. Was definitely the highlight of my trip to Waiheke!
