Amazing Matt - Matt was amazing. Can't thank him enough for my first diving experience. He was calm and very thorough guiding us through the reef and spotting all marin life. Highly recommend.

Positivity!! - Matt was amazing! Made my father and I feel comfortable and confident underwater. Saw more turtles than I could count. Thank you Dive Maui!

NJ family tries out Discover Diving - If you love the ocean and you’ve been curious about scuba diving, but thought it would be too expensive, hard, time consuming, and scary to try, then you should do the discover scuba diving class with Matt at Dive Maui. Our family likes to try new activities but some of us were definitely nervous and not that comfortable with all the gear—oxygen tank, fins, regulator etc! We did a brief online tutorial ahead of our appointment and Matt walked us through every single thing we needed to know. Then he got us all set up with our gear and we headed into the water. Matt was patient (like a saint!) and knowledgeable and we all had a FABULOUS experience underneath the ocean! Saw countless number of fish, sea turtles, and a shark! We all loved our outing and would try scuba again! Thanks, Matt!

Great Discovery Scuba Experience - This was an amazing experience and a highlight of the trip. Doing a discovery scube experience seems pretty crazy but it went really well. There is a short online training that was texted before the scuba time that just went over the basics. Those same basics are gone over again in person once you arrive for the scuba experience (the first hour). Once you are suited up and ready to go in the water it is a short walk to the beach and then a walk into the ocean before putting on the fins and testing out breathing under water. My wife had a little bit of a panic attack when attempting the first breaths underwater and considered heading back to land, but Matt (the instructor) was able to talk her through the worries and she successfully completed the scuba dive. After diving down about 10 feet we practiced a few techniques of removing and retrieving the mouthpiece. This is a little intimidating but helps to get comfortable with everything. We then cruised around underwater for like 45 minutes. We saw a school of Rays, giant sea turtles, multiple schools of fish and a shark hanging out. One of the best experiences, would definitely do this again and recommend to others. I am planning to get certified so that I can continue to more scuba adventures.

awesome - sean is a really good guide and showed us a shark and we saw a bunch of stingrays and fish and helped us a lot with our gear and was really easy to work with

Sharks with Matt - Diving with sharks was a really cool experience, especially seeing them up close. Everything felt safe and well organized, and the instructor Matt was calm and professional the whole time. It was an unforgettable experience, and I would definitely recommend it to anyone who wants to see beautiful marine life and try something exciting.

Great first dive experience - Took my 10 year old son with Sean for his birthday and he was awesome! Took time to go more in detail than what was required for the discovery dive and also did a great job at keeping him calm and dealing with his nervousness. Thanks Sean

Sean made this so epic - Sean was the most patient instructor. He made sure we were safe and gave us the most epic experience of this trip. Built us a very solid foundation for future dives too. 100% recommend this and Sean.

Great beginnings dive experience! - Sean was amazing! Great instructor for first timers. Along with the variety of fish, we got to see Turtles Sharks and Rays!

Dive Maui is by far the worst scuba experience I have had, and it should absolutely NOT be marketed for beginner - This was sold to us as a beginner dive, but in reality it was anything but. After a rushed and superficial theory briefing, we were immediately taken into deep water with almost no preparation. There was no proper shallow-water acclimatization, no time given to calmly adjust to the equipment, and no effort made to ensure we were comfortable breathing artificial air before being pushed forward. As first-time divers, both my wife and I felt anxious and overwhelmed almost immediately. Instead of slowing things down—as any responsible instructor should—the instructor showed clear impatience, creating even more stress. We were never given the chance to get comfortable with the gear in waist-deep water, which is basic protocol for beginners. This alone made the experience unsafe and mentally distressing. On top of that, the Dive Maui team expects customers to carry full scuba gear on their backs and walk a significant distance to the beach. This gear is extremely heavy, especially for beginners who are not trained to handle it properly. My partner suffered back pain for two full days afterward. This was never clearly communicated beforehand, and no assistance or alternatives were offered. The entry into the water was equally unacceptable. The instructor repeatedly rushed us, telling us to move faster over sharp, uneven rocks, while wearing heavy gear and already feeling unsteady. This is reckless behavior, especially when dealing with new divers who are already nervous and physically burdened. At no point did we feel supported, guided, or reassured. Instead, we felt pressured, rushed, and ignored. A beginner diving experience should build confidence and trust. This did the opposite. It felt like the goal was to move people through as quickly as possible, not to ensure safety or comfort. This experience left us shaken, uncomfortable, and deeply disappointed. Diving is supposed to be exciting and memorable—instead, this was stressful and borderline unsafe. Dive Maui should seriously reconsider advertising beginner lessons if they are unwilling or unable to provide proper beginner instruction. If you are new to scuba diving, DO NOT go here. You deserve instructors who are patient, attentive, and prioritize safety over speed. I strongly feel this experience did not match what was promised, and I want my money back.
