We booked the two tank Molokini Crater dive it was a good dive. In the month of September the water…read morewas 80 degrees but we always like to have an exposure suit on. Their rental fee for a suit was good so we didn't pack ours with our gear. Captain Gu was great, Divemaster Rae the trash mermaid and I bonded over picking up trash on the second dive. (Always good to do a dive against debris dive.) Due to the resent storm there was more trash than usual. Divemaster John and I hung for some extra bottom time and found some fun critters. Boat had snacks in the wings always ready to go and a cooler full of drinks. Hydration is always important while diving. They even rinsed our gear for us so we don't have to deal with it at our Air BnB. Just a few things we saw: Large Eel (over 5 feet), adorable little reef sharks, devil scorpion, octopuses (It's not Octopie!), Humuhumunukunukuapui'a!!! Easy parking at the Kīhei boat ramp, simple check in process, loading and unloading was simple. Highly recommend diving with them. And always remember to complete a pre-dive safety check when you are diving! *Long live Bruce Willis!

Our guide was nice and found us some sharks, a turtle, eels, crab, and many other sea life.

We had an outstanding experience with Extended Horizons, led by divemaster Gustavo "Gu." Recent…read moreMaui rains reduced visibility at many sites, but Gu adjusted the plan and guided us to the best possible conditions. That made the difference. These were refresher dives for our group, and Gu handled them exactly right. He quickly assessed each diver's experience, our small group included both newer divers with fewer than ten dives and others with more than 70, but with time since our last dives. His review of fundamentals, safety, and buoyancy control was clear and structured, without slowing the group down. He also reinforced reef etiquette and respect for marine life in a practical, no-nonsense way. This team takes responsible diving seriously. What stood out most was Gu's site knowledge. Not just which sites to choose, but where to position within each site to maximize visibility and encounters. He set expectations on what we might see, spotted eagle rays, green sea turtles, white-tip reef sharks, snowflake moray eels, and more, and then delivered. We saw all of it. With two divers carrying cameras, he was mindful of positioning, and I came away with great shots of eagle rays, reef sharks, and multiple turtles. The highlight was a turtle cleaning station at Mala Wharf, with six turtles active at once and eagle rays passing nearby. It was one of those rare dives where something meaningful is happening in every direction. The attached photo captures that exact moment, multiple turtles gathered at the cleaning station with eagle rays moving through the scene. Operationally, everything was tight: * Strong safety culture and clear briefings * Efficient check-in and gear handling * Well-maintained equipment * Good pacing, no rushing, no wasted time * Attentive in-water supervision without being intrusive * Effective group management for mixed experience levels If you are traveling to Hawaii with limited dive windows, this is the operator you want. They remove uncertainty and maximize your chances of a memorable dive. Highly recommend Extended Horizons, and Gu as your guide.

Phenomenal Dive Experience with Extended Horizons!…read more We booked our scuba diving excursion through The Ritz-Carlton, Kapalua, and could not have been happier with the experience provided by Extended Horizons. As newly certified divers, we were a bit nervous going into our first post-certification dive, but our Dive Master, Michael, made it an absolutely incredible and comfortable experience from start to finish. Michael was punctual, professional, and incredibly charismatic. He struck the perfect balance between being instructive and encouraging, offering helpful tips to improve our diving without ever making us feel overwhelmed. He really listened to what we were hoping to get out of the dive and tailored the experience to match. We did a two-tank shore entry dive, and it was spectacular. Michael guided us to some amazing marine life--green sea turtles, moray eels, cone snails, sea urchins, and even three stunning green lion fish. His deep knowledge and passion for the ocean were clear throughout, and it made the entire dive even more memorable. We can't recommend Extended Horizons enough--especially if you're a beginner looking for a patient, supportive, and fun dive guide. Thank you, Michael! We'll definitely be back.

Kanani was AMAZING, such a thorough, patient, fun, encouraging, knowledgeable instructor. When we dive again and need a guide - she is the one! My son enjoyed completing his cert with her, talks highly of her and is inspire 100 percent by her. Not only is she a great communicator but she is so passionate about diving and the ocean. She educates you on ocean stewardship and protection. Mahalo for keeping our oceans healthy, our diving save and fun!

After reading many rave reviews for Maui Dreams, I enrolled in the Rescue Diver class through their…read moreshop. I scheduled the class a few months in advance, and they even advertised it to recruit another student (after all, you can't rescue yourself!). I learned from the best--Kerri is a true expert in both diving and instruction. He is incredibly patient and explains concepts clearly. He took the time to answer all of our questions and really instilled the importance of dive safety--that anything can happen at any time, and you always need to stay aware, especially in and around the water. We practiced multiple real-life rescue scenarios in the water, which made the training feel practical and incredibly valuable. I learned so many important skills from Kerri--both ones I hope I never have to use and others that I will carry with me on every dive going forward. I look forward to diving with Kerri and the Maui Dreams crew the next time I'm on Maui!

I can't remember who my favorite dive operator was but Mike Severns is now my favorite. Booking…read morewasn't smooth but it was worth it to get on this boat. Everyone was nice, fun, helpful, and friendly. First of all, they were the ONLY op to request to see a negative covid test and insisted everyone wear a mask while on the boat. Other ops asked everyone to wear a mask but only enforced it when near the dock. Secondly, Pauline was our DM and a gem. You know she is passionate about diving and the creatures in the ocean. She goes into depth about animal behavior which I found fascinating. Before we jumped in, she told us about an octopus with eggs in a small crevice under a tank. She explained they would be difficult to spot but we really had to get our head down low (and she wasn't kidding). The boat is capped at 6 divers but we only had 5 so we took our time to find them. Everyone patiently waited their turn and no one cut the line. Someone mentioned MS is not patient with newbies but that's not what I observed. They answered all questions and made sure everyone was comfortable before jumping into the water and before we descended. I was a little cold but thoroughly enjoyed each dive. Lastly, they have the BEST snacks. They have fresh baked cinnamon buns, cookies and banana bread. I can't recommend them enough.

We saw an octopus, a couple eels and also a friggin shark! which was really cool! They made a good job of keep everyone socially distanced and keeping everyone safe. I also like the fact you head out at like 6AM so beat the crowds! Great company to dive with!!
