Best scuba diving experience - This was an amazing experience! My wife was very scared about going under the ocean, but Shane was super nice and made this experience very enjoyable for the both of us! Highly recommend it! We also saw so many fish, a sea turtle, eagle ray, and we got to hear the whales sounds 👌

Great experience for anyone - We went with a group of 5, 2 of which had never dived. Shane was an excellent instructor and had us all under water in no time. After the first dive we were offered to go for a second dive at the turtle and shark location. It was absolutely amazing there. Definitely the highlight of our trip. Would absolutely recommend to anyone regardless of your diving experience.

Great, low-effort first-time diving experience - Kevin did a great job making the learning process fun and comfortable, especially for my friends who had never gone SCUBA diving before. Compared to other beginner experiences I've had, the pre-dive training was relatively short, yet sufficiently thorough that I felt safe and comfortable. All of the skills were taught first on land, then practiced in the water, before we explored the coral reef. I appreciate that this dive gave us a taste of diving without making it a grueling half-day event that feels like the first day of a full PADI training. On the other hand, because we went diving from the beach, not from a boat, it was not very deep. Most of what we saw I had already seen snorkeling. Still, we did get up close to schools of fish in a way that is just not possible without SCUBA gear. We also saw a large sea turtle. I only wish we had had time to do another, more ambitious, dive with them later in the week. Maui is a great place to go diving, but it's hard to schedule if you also plan to go zip-lining, driving/biking on the mountains, or flying between islands, as you cannot do anything at altitude within 18 hours of scuba diving, so plan carefully.

Scuba diving with turtles! - Simon has been great, it was so easy to scuba dive with him and we saw many turtles, fishes and a crab. Best experience we had on Maui, beats everything else!

Bucket list, check! - Booked this last minute and so glad I did. I’ve never been scuba diving but it was on my bucket list. I love snorkeling and seeing sea turtles and other sea creatures. Shane was amazing, he was very knowledgeable and explained things simply. We went on two dives and I can’t even count how many turtles we saw, stunning coral and even 4 sharks! Would highly recommend this for anyone comfortable in the water. Only took about a couple minutes to get used to the breathing. Just do it and have fun!

Shane was great guide - This was my second dive with Banyan in the past 3 years, still a beginner but excellent dives both times, very secure experience from first contact to last. Shane was such an easy going and thorough guide, pointing out interesting sights underwater and checking in with me frequently. Lived the whole experience, thanks Shane!

Saw Sea Turtles and Reef Sharks. - Our family really enjoyed the beginner scuba dive. Shane did a really great job teaching us and was able to quickly show us how to scuba. Saw a sea turtle on the first dive on top of a bunch of different fish. If offered the second dive defintely recommend purchasing. Got to see over 30 Sea Turtles and a few white tip reef sharks, and a moray eel. Definitely an enjoyable adventure.
