Beautiful Dive Site, Awesome Boat and Crew - Amazing experience, a must do if you’re a scuba diver in Maui. The Cathedrals were breathtaking, both very different in beauty and wildlife encountered. The boat is a nice boat, small dive group sizes, and the crew takes care of you and everything on your trip! All you have to do is put on your pack and go enjoy! Divers of all experience levels went and they were able to cater to us all, and come up when it was the right time for you and your capabilities. The Viz was unreal, 100+ and it wasn’t so deep you ran out of air quick. Make sure to bring a camera for in and out of water. We also had dolphins come within arms distance of our boat and we got to stop and watch the show. Never felt rushed or hearded like cattle. This is truly a class act and I’ll be booking again when I’m back!

Bucket list item checked - The experience was excellent with a highly professional crew, including the captains and two dive masters. Brian was my dive master; he was outstanding and explained everything clearly, found cool wide life including eels, octopuses, lobsters…. The lava tubes provided an impressive experience. As a pro tip, take your time entering the tubes and exploring.

A Great Dive Experience on Maui - Great dive experience today with Sean and the rest of the crew. First, the crew took care of everything. The BCD’s and regulators were already hooked up to our tanks and waiting for us. My son and I wore shortie wetsuits but the water was really comfortable and we wouldn’t have needed them. Visibility for both dives was great, and our guide Sean was very helpful. Not a ton of marine life compared to other locations (although we did see a big sea turtle, and eel, and several colorful fish) but the highlight was the views within the cathedral dive. Pretty unique and definitely worth it. We’d highly recommend the two cathedral dive trip and spin it with Dive Maui.

1st Cathedral - Great dive! - Wash Rock & 1st cathedral off Lanai on 7/29 - good weather, good viz (60-70’), good sea life variety, great geography! Professional, friendly and relaxed dive team. Abbi was a great dive master - friendly, informative, while also staying on task and keeping everyone safe. A solid outfit. Will dive with them again in the future.

1st Cathedral is Amazing - Such an incredible dive - the 1st Cathedral is one of my favorite dives. Captain Zach and instructors Sean and Abbi were kind, patient, and helpful, making sure we were safe throughout both dives and assisting with the "shotgun" exit from the 1st Cathedral. Reasonable price and great value, appropriate length for each dive, 8 divers per instructor.

Cathedral Dive - We were looked after by Dive guides Abbi & Shaun. Both professional, friendly, approachable and made the diving seemless. Thank you We did 2 dives both great, plenty of fish life, the coral seems to of been damaged / not that much but the overall life plenty to see and colourful fish. Interesting structures to swim around on first dive and cathedral itself is something cool to see - they split up the groups so there are not 14 people in the cathedral which seeing the size of it is a must as it would be very crowded - the shotgun exit is also something different that not many divers would of experienced before. As for value for money it’s hard to get value out of a $320 dive with no lunch. In an industry where crew don’t often get paid much that money has to be going somewhere? very expensive. If you’re coming to Maui and you have the money it’s worth doing once.

Awesome Cathedral scuba trip! Thank you Abbi! - Abbi, our dive master, was wonderful and very knowledgeable! The Cathedral was beautiful! The ‘shotgun’ exit out was hit or miss with the swell force, but my daughter got the full opposite force, lost her grip and flew the wrong way backwards making it very memorable. You could tell from the shear amount of bubbles she was laughing. Abbi was awesome helping us all, exceptionally when assisting my daughter back from the other side of the cavern from being ‘yeeted’ by the swell as my daughter describes it now:-). Very memorable and fun trip. Only warning: no bathrooms on the boat. Still absolutely worth it. Highly recommend!

Awesome crew - Staff was very friendly and attentive. Our guide for the day was Sean. He was Awesome! He is very attentive to the group and keeps a watchful eye on everyone. Was literally the most attentive guide I’ve ever had the pleasure of diving with. The cathedral dive is a very cool experience, pay close attention and listen to Sean’s pre dive instructions!
