Maui Dreams Dive

Maui Dreams Dive

(290 reviews)

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 was a long time customer of this shop who spent thousands of dollars over the years. I had a good…read morerapport with the staff and owners, until I made a social media post mildly critical of a different dive operation. After that, the owner was very cold and curt with me for a couple of months and I finally asked why. I got yelled at for 15 minutes over that social media post and during that time I was insulted, had my ethics questioned, and was threatened with a ban from the shop once my tank rental card was used up. This was the worst customer service experience I have ever had in my life, to get excoriated by the shop's owner over a post I made about a different dive operation. I will no longer give this shop my business. The owner will likely respond that this was not a customer service experience with their services, like rentals, retail, etc., however a few months ago, I tried to get my divemaster certification renewed prior to the above event, and they could not even get it together to give me a price or a possible schedule with the owner referring me to the instructor and the instructor referring me to the owner. Rinse. Repeat. It was the most frustrating and unprofessional PADI training experience I ever had. And when I did my MFA/CPR certification with them, the CPR dummies did not have batteries (or they had exploded from disuse) so they were totally unprepared on the day of the course. And during the course I had the displeasure of watching the instructor mumble through the cheat sheet on his phone, covering unnecessarily what I had already gone over in the eLearning, and they very inappropriately shared with me a personal medical emergency example that involved an emergency heart issue arising from solo use of viagra. So very unprofessional. Granted that instructor no longer works at this shop, having quit or been fired shortly after that MFA/CPR course. I finally got my divemaster cert renewed with an independent instructor without any hassle. Why was it so easy for them and so hard for the shop? Also note, that after I got my divemaster cert renewed the owner reached out to me to see if I was interested in a job and seemed very enthusiastic about the prospect of me working for them. We met and I declined to work for them as I still had full time work. So any aspersions the owner may cast on my character after this review should be viewed with that in mind.

Extended Horizons Scuba

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.

We absolutely loved our experience diving with Gu and Ty!! We were a little rusty, but Gu reviewed…read moreeverything with us and we felt completely comfortable. He also prepped us with details about the animals we were likely to see and fun info about their behaviors so we knew what to look for - we saw rays, turtles, moray eels, and an octopus! We did two shore dives at Airport Beach and the team did a great job of adjusting the plan given some areas of reduced visibility after the recent severe storm, so we still had an amazing experience. Gu knew every detail of the reef so knew exactly where to take us. Everyone we interacted with including the instructors and the people we spoke to about scheduling were kind, flexible, and informative. We hear they'll have their boat up and running this summer - when we come back to Maui we will definitely sign up for another dive with this crew!!
