Sunshine Scuba

Sunshine Scuba opened in Honolulu, Hawaii on May 1, 1991, and has since become a landmark name in dive education. Recognized as the world's first "CDC" dive shop under Japanese management, it has held the "CDC" rank across more than 30 years of business — a PADI 5 Star Career Development Center built to prepare divers for professional careers in the industry.

Built for aspiring dive professionals

As a Career Development Center, Sunshine Scuba meets the highest requirements for training PADI Professionals. Four Course Directors currently reside at the shop, two of them Platinum Course Directors — the highest level of all. More than 1,300 students have graduated as Dive Instructors here, a testament to the center's career-oriented focus.

On site you'll find an onsite classroom, air conditioning, free Wi-Fi, and a retail shop, with equipment sales, PADI scuba diving, and PADI First Aid (EFR) among the services. Staff speak English and Japanese, making it a natural fit for international divers and anyone serious about turning a passion for diving into a profession.
