- Wonderful day scuba diving with Dive Maui. We took a boat over to Lanai and dove Wash Rock and First Cathedrals. We saw so many fish, eels, a sea turtle, and more. Joe, Abby and Scott were fantastic as our captain and guides. Definitely recommend going out with this group. Fantastic operation and very lovely for divers of all capabilities.

Dive Maui is no ka oi. - So far we’ve done 2 dives with Dive Maui. The first was a discovery dive with Matt. My husband & I are certified divers but our 2 daughters aren’t. One of our daughter’s has never dove before. He was great, very patient with her. It was such a fantastic experience for her, we’ve planned another discovery dive. Our second dive was with Gretchen, Brian & Zack, it was a 2 tank dive at cathedrals. It was epic… and the Gretchen our dive master was awesome. Zack the boat captain was also knowledgeable about the water. We ended the dive seeing a pod of dolphins. I highly recommend this company. There were only 8 ppl on the boat & we were split into 2 groups. Amazing time!!

Perfect First Ocean Dive Experience - Captain Joe and crew made this a perfect first time ocean dive experience. Abbie was perfect as dive master. I was a little nervous going into the experience, but there was absolutely no need to be. They were very attentive and helpful the entire time. Even between the two dives, my skills improved dramatically based on comments and suggestions from Abby and some of the other divers. I doubled my underwater time. The sites were beautiful, we were able to see a lot of underwater wildlife, and visibility was great the day we dove. We even ran into a large dolphin pod on the way back. If I come back to Hawaii, I will definitely do this again. Highly recommended!

Excellent Experience with Dive Maui - We did 4 dives with Dive Maui. First two were shore dives at Black Rock and then Mala Pier. It was our first shore dive experience and we really enjoyed the long bottom time 54+ minutes. Guide was very knowledgeable. If you do a shore dive just note you have to be able to carry your tank/gear for a .25 mile. Getting to float depth at Mala can be a challenge with the rocky entry. Just give your guide a heads up if you need a little help. Both dives had amazing sea life (sharks, ray, turtles, and so many fish). Two tank boat dive to Lana’i was a fantastic experience. Dive guides and captain were super professional and skilled. Staff loaded all gear onto the boat and set everyone up, which made for super easy onboarding the boat. Only needed to tweak my BC position. Ride to the island had mild chop so take your Bonine if you get seasick. My first time with a back entry from the boat, easy and fun, and I was happy to be the first in for both dives. Water clarity was amazing. Our guide spotted a variety of sea life for our small group and was patient while people filmed, explored, etc. The cathedral was amazing and didn’t feel like a tight space. There was plenty of room for our group of five to swim around and explore. We also got treated to a pod of dolphins on our safety stop. Over all with our 4 dives we had a great experience with Dive Maui and will dive with them again. We only rented wetsuits which were decent. Tanks were max filled.

Great dives, great operation. - Best dive trip ever. Scott was our dive master, and did a spectacular job. His briefing was very thorough, and included marine life. Equipment at Dive Maui was excellent, and ready/waiting on the boat when we arrived, including weights in your BCDs. The swell was pretty difficult for a lot of folks on our trip, but the team did everything they could to accommodate those who got seasick. Looking forward to the shark & turtle dive tomorrow!

Dove cathedral 1 & 2 on the separate trips. Good experience. Special shout out to Capt. Joe, dive master Abby and Gretchen. Abby made it interesting and pointe we out Eels, Turtles, sharks, Ray's etc. Will definitely come back and recommend Dive Maui to our diver friends.

Shore dives usually aren’t my favorite but these Mala Pier and Black Rock are worth the effort - I dove the Lanai Cathedral and another reef nearby with Dive Maui. The Cathedral dive offers several swim through, lots of sea life. That evening and the next morning I dove (from shore) the Mala Pier with Joe, a great DM (or instructor?) from Dive Maui. This was the best dive of the 13 dives I made on this trip. So many turtles (too many to count!), sharks, spotted Eagle Ray, Spanish Dancers, much more. Epic and memorable night dive! Joes is an excellent guide. After the morning dive at Mala Pier we dove Black Rock another fabulous dive. We saw sandbar sharks, a nice pod of dolphins passed right over us (very cool). Highly recommend this operation.
