Amazing experience with our entire family! We saw so many whales, heard them singing and loved every minute of the trip! Captain Joe and Renee were awesome tour guides. read more

We visited last month and went on the Wharf Shark and Turtle dive. It did NOT disappoint! We're certified divers and were very pleased that the variety of wildlife we were able to see. Joe, our divemaster, was fantastic. He was very knowledgeable on the overview of the area we were diving. The only complaint would have been the longer walk to the pier with all of our gear on. Other than that, couldn't have been more perfect! We would definitely go back! It was wonderful to see a thriving business in Lahaina! read more

We visited to dive November 2024! We did the Cathedral dive and Shipwreck dive. Both were so so great! The crew and dive masters were AWESOME! So helpful and kind. Extremely knowledgeable and a pleasure to chat with! Writing this review so late because my husband and I were still chatting about how great of a time we had out there and it reminded me I should share what a great experience we had! read more

My partner (who is scuba certified) and I (who am not) did a Discovery Dive with Joe while in Maui about a week and a half ago at Mala Wharf. It was SO AWESOME. Joe was great at reiterating all of the content that I had read up on prior to our dive, and making sure I was confident in the equipment and hand signals. The dive itself was so cool--we saw some turtles, sharks, and a ton of fish and coral. Our dive was about 35minutes or so, and I'd highly recommend it. I'll definitely be doing that again. read more

For years I have been diving with Lahaina Divers, but horribly they were destroyed by the Lahaina fire. So, when I was on Maui last week, I had to find a new dive operation. I spent two days diving with the crew at Dive Maui, and I can't say enough good things about their first rate operation! Abbey was the guide I was with. Her enthusiasm and knowledge of marine life is spectacular! She is also safety conscious but not overbearing at all. Abbey was a pleasure to dive with! Captain Joe was awesome. He too was extremely safety conscious, and down to earth. Spent some time in good conversations with him during those couple of days. I did not get a chance to dive with the other guide Dave, but I will say he is cool people. He is friendly and seems to be a great dive guide. I'm told Nick is the owner. I would have never known unless someone had mentioned it. He was flying under the radar and super friendly. In my active 47 years of diving, I have seen a lot of different operations. Dive Maui is one of the great ones. If you go to Maui and want to have some fun, safe and memorable dive trips, look them up! I will book with them again next time I'm on Island! Mahalo!

Brook and Marina were the best tour guides ever! We were fortunate enough to see a competition pod- 15+ whales battling for the female. Whales, dolphins, and a shark were spotted. Incredible time for families and an awesome way to see west Maui from the water. read more

I Was diving with Abbi and she turned Rocks over for two wassers fish and they found critters to eat under rocks. One wasser found a snail and with the Snail in its mouth started slapping the Snail on another rock to crack its shell to eat the contents in snail shell. On the way back to the shop Captain Joe spotted a mother whale and calf playing so he slowed the boat so we could watch them play. Fun day read more

Dove the cathedral today and it was a great time!!! Two tanks worth of enjoyment and the dive masters were awesome!! They were very informative of the after and dive plan!! We have done shore dives during other visits and had a great time!! read more

Recommended scuba shop for beginners to experts. Priced reasonably and cheerful staff. Free parking at the street or in the back. We did Discover scuba dive with Alex, she was great and patient. She went over the instructions answered all our queries. She helped with the scuba gear, and we walked towards the beach. Just as we entered the water I dropped my GoPro in water and she helped me get it back. THANK YOU!!! She went over in water with the instructions and she picked the spot where we were going to Dive. It was amazing reef .. it's full of marine life lots of colorful fish The collapsed Mala Wharf is a steel-reinforced concrete structure. This Created shelter for marine life this is shallow 20 feet to 40 feet deep with lots of turtles hanging read more

Amazing experience. Be where the turtles and sharks are! Matt our guide was awesome, gave us lots of great information and the skills we needed for the dive. Mala wharf is an epic spot to dive, can't wait to get down there again! read more

Diving with Dive Maui was awesome - all the staff was friendly, knowledgeable, and was excited to share the experience with us. Highly recommend! read more

I had a great time with Dive Maui during my recent vacation. I did a refresher dive on a sunken pier that is a short walk from their dive shop, and got to see sea turtles, reef sharks, eels, porcupinefish and more. I also did the Lanai cathedrals boat trip, where we did two dives through beautiful underwater chambers. Everyone at Dive Maui was very nice and professional. They were also very thankful for our support coming back to Maui one year after the tragic fires. They don't need us to ask them about it, they don't need to relive it, they just need us to support them and let others know that Maui is back open. read more

Enjoyed whale watching and shore diving with Dive Maui. The whale watching boat was a great size and had shade!!! Good trip all around. Brooke was a great dive guide and pleasure to dive with. Her pre-dive fish briefing was great. We enjoyed the second tank as much as the first and requested to stay at Mala. She listened to what we wanted to get out of it and delivered! Thanks Brooke! read more

Incredible 2 tank dive to Cathedral. Professional and well run outfit. Good rentals. would come again

Just did the Lanai dive trip with Captain Jack, Scott and Chris. One of my best dive experiences ever! These guys are super professional, knowledgeable, friendly and funny. Cathedral I was stunning. Such a great trip! West Maui is absolutely open to respectful tourism which they need more than ever. read more

Bottom line, Dive Maui may have saved my life. No BS. I was certified over 40-years ago. Had not been diving in 25-years and Dive Maui would not let me dive unless I went on a shore dive to make certain I could do a two tanker the following day. Easy, right? Well, after bobbing up and down and managing my ear pressure the entire time, our instructor (Jeff) said if he could tear up my PADI card, he would. I needed to get re-certified. My ego was crushed. However, the following day, my ears were so bad, I had to go to urgent care and if I had dove, it could have been disastrous. They told me the truth and they were on my side all the way. I will be back. read more

Just did Cathedrals dive with Dive Maui, what a great experience. From the dive location itself to the helpfulness of the crew. Would highly recommend for your next dive in Maui. read more

The whole team was fantastic, very clear in communication, helpful and safety focused. Did the Cathedrals 2-tank dive near Lanai. Lot's of fish and cool rock formations. The vis (30-40 ft.) was okay but not like I remember Molokini (80 ft) a few years ago. Used a shorty and that was fine but we are used to diving in much colder water. Make sure you take bonine! We took two each and I still felt lousy. I didn't "feed the fish" but it sucked just the same, couldn't wait to get into the water where the motion sickness disappears. Molokini is a smoother ride out and I'll probably do that or a shore dive next time. Only a three-star because of rocking and "burp" rolling :/ read more

I have been a long time diver and was very excited to bring my two daughters, 12 & 16, out on their first Discovery Dive trip. Abbi was amazing and made my girls feel very comfortable and they loved their dive. Mala pier is the perfect place to take any new dive because the marine life is plentiful and the clarity is perfect. They are hook and will now get certified. Thank you Abbi & Dive Maui! read more

Great dive operation! Brooke, Chantal and Captain Stephen were awesome at keeping everyone happy and safe, as well as having super friendly staff on the boat and in the shop. They have an efficient and well oiled system that makes things easy, as well as getting us to Molokai and finding the Hammerheads. Highly recommend, I'll be back! read more

I enjoyed three fantastic dives with my daughter. We saw dolphins, white tip sharks, turtles, so many fish and beautiful coral. Abbi and Joe were great to dive with and I can't wait until we can dive with them again. Highly recommend! read more

We loved our Maui vacation, and we owe a lot to Dive Maui! We had 2 awesome whale watch trips with the super knowledgeable and hilarious Renee, the whale naturalist on board, and then me and my kid had an epic first dive experience with instructor Maiah, who was so patient and kind and encouraging! Thank you for the best week ever! read more

Had my first scuba diving experience after getting padi certified with Dive Maui! I did the 2 Tank Lanai Cathedral dive. As inexperienced as I am, their staff and crew (special shout out to Chantal!) took amazing care of us throughout the entire process. They provided lots of water and snacks and when it came time die the actual dive, I wasn't nervous at all. I came from a traumatic California shore dive diving class experience and this boat dive encouraged me to dive again. We even got to see dolphins on our way out and a cute octopus!!! Thank you so much team at Dive Maui!!! read more

Great Crew = Great Experience Just did a two tank dive with the outfit and it was an all around great and seamless experience. The whole process of check in, gear preparation, and diving was very pleasant and truly felt like being with old friends. The dive itself was great and Chelsea provided an awesome experience for a group of divers with a wide range of abilities and experience levels. Do not want to ruin the fun spontaneity of the experience but I will say the whole trip involved reef exploration, immersive underwater volcanic exploration, and even a bit of a boat tour around lanai. We tried to book the hammerhead dive as soon as we got back however we were sad to see it was (deservedly) sold out but hopefully they add Chelsea to the hammerhead dive master roster soon because I am excited to book again! read more

My 2 boys and I had 2 wonderful beach dives with Matt. dive maui was very accommodating and made the whole process very easy.

Went back for a shore entry night dive at Mala Wharf, and a 2 tank, shore entry dives at Black Rock and Mala Wharf. Joe ran the night dive group and while it was a bit underwhelming with regard to what we saw, it was a great time, and felt completely comfortable with Joe getting us out there and back in the darkness. Abby was our guide for Black Rock and Mala Wharf day time. Really saw some great stuff, varieties of fish, eels, at least 20 turtles, and my favorite, 6 or so white tip sharks just resting among the wreckage of the Mala Wharf. No issues and completely happy with Abby's lead as well. Again, highly recommend Joe, Abby, and Dive Maui. read more

This review is for my man Chris. Dealing with newbies is never easy especially in such a serious scenario as going underwater for the first time. He managed to balance everyone out and de-escalate each situation where someone panicked a little. In the end, everyone had a great experience and walked away with priceless memories. Thank you! read more

A few months ago, when I started planning a week long dive trip to Maui, I reached out to several dive shops in the area. Derick from Dive Maui jumped right on the phone with me and helped me figure out a schedule so that I could see a variety of different sites during my stay. Only one other shop even bothered to reply, but it was clear that Dive Maui was the right choice for me. I had an amazing week of diving. Everything from Dolphins and Eagle Rays at the Cathedral guided by Abby to a dive with more turtles I have ever seen in one place guided by Scott. I also mentioned not being nitrox certified and the team went out of their way to get me certified before my trip was over. Renee is an awesome instructor and really helped to explain how nitrox fits into diving and went above and beyond to make sure I understood everything and felt confident diving with nitrox. I highly recommend Dive Maui and I'm already planning my next trip. read more

Great experience - highly recommend. My wife and I chose Dive Maui to get our PADI open water certification. Renee was our instructor and she was beyond amazing. Extremely knowledgeable and experienced scuba diver and did a really good job of making it easy to learn all the skills and concepts about Scuba. Even during the class we went to beautiful dive sites and saw all types of fish, turtles, sharks, and explored a sunken pier. Couldn't of had a better experience and we're already looking forward to our next dive! read more

We did the Lanai Cathedrals 2 tank dive over Thanksgiving week. We dove Cathedral #1 and #2 which was a great bonus since that's usually split into two trips, but everyone on our boat was down. Equipment seems pretty up to date and boat ride out was comfortable. We lucked out and also saw some spinner dolphins on the way back! read more

Great experience with this dive shop. Did two spectacular beach dives with Abby. She was wonderful. Good gear, affordable prices, and very communicative. If you are staying near Kaanapali/Lahaina I would highly recommend this shop. read more

Great tour company operating out of Lahaina. It was a smaller, more intimate whale watching tour than others we have been on. The crew was very knowledgeable and kept the conversation going throughout the tour while also allowing us plenty of time to just observe the whales. read more

The Mala wharf shore dive was much better than I expected with clear water and lots of life. The operation and dive master were great. Thanks! read more

Brooke, Joe, Maiah, Captain CJ, and Derek were phenomenal! I enjoyed the morning ukulele songs from Derek, the energetic passion of Brooke, Joe's unbelievable dive jobs with proven experience that he has my back, Maiah's fun spirit, Captain CJ's integrity re safety and her knowledge of marine life, and the entire crew for not one, not two, but 8 dives with them and whale watching! I experienced sea green turtles, shore, night, back flip and negative entry dives, up close with a female, baby and male escort whales circling the boat, 2 young whales flipping and slapping tails back and forth with each other, beautiful cathedral dives, school of dolphins while I entered the dive, gorgeous weather (after 2 cancelled & immediate rescheduled dives), and did I say how amazing the crew are! Thank you Brooke, Derek, Joe, Maiah, and CJ! Mahalo!!! read more

Dive Maui is your go to for dives, whale watching and certification. My husband and daughter received their dive certification with Renee. She was AWESOME! Stephen was our captain for a Whale watching and our Cathedral dive. I did a shore dive with Frannie and seen so many turtles is was amazing. She was also our guide at the Cathedrals They all make the trip so enjoyable! Frannie goes to great lengths to make sure you are having a great time. Explaining all the beautiful marine life along with making sure you are comfortable and safe. Captain Stephen was awesome getting us close to see the whale which is a must to see. I highly recommend Dive Maui! read more

Great dive, great staff and best excursion value on Maui! Dive Mala Pier with them. It was an unforgettable experience for beginner or certified divers. read more

Joe took us on an amazing wreck dive right outside the dive shop. No boat ride, just walk into the water! So many sea turtles... We told Joe what animals we were most hopeful to see and he found them for us - including a pair of octopus! (We were lucky to be there during breeding season.) I was particularly impressed with Joe's attention to safety in our pre-dive brief, which made me feel in very good hands. Would dive again with him in an instant!! read more

For starters... Hands down the best dive I have been on to date. My fiancé and I primarily dive in Southern California, and I've been diving on Oahu. We both agreed that no other dive tops the first Cathedral! The captain and dive leads were all phenomenal. So organized, so sweet, and so enthusiastic to dive! We had the pleasure of diving with Frannie as our lead and she was incredible. She educated us very well, showed us many pictures as to what to look out for, and introduced us to a couple of her favorite underwater friends. She was happy to talk after each dive about my what we saw, and she took the time after getting back to the shop to fill out our dive books. We contemplated booking another dive with them during our stay, we just didn't have the time. We will absolutely book more dives with Dive Maui for future trips! read more
