Dive Maui operates from Lahaina, Hawaii, offering guided scuba dives, whale-watching tours, and PADI training with a strong focus on safety and small-group service. The company runs an array of experiences including two-tank boat dives to Lanai’s Cathedrals, shore dives at Mala Wharf to swim with turtles and encounter reef sharks, and extended trips to Molokini Crater with a backwall dive and the Carthaginian wreck.
Whale-watching options include 1.5-hour and 2-hour excursions and a 2-hour sunset whale watch aboard a custom inflatable raft, with hydrophone or onboard speakers so guests can hear humpback whale song. Scuba learning opportunities range from Discover Scuba introductions and PADI ReActivate refreshers to a PADI Open Water Referral course completed in Lahaina over multiple dives.
Small group sizes and personalized attention are emphasized across all offerings: whale-watch tours limit passengers for intimacy, shore dives keep diver-to-instructor ratios low, and instruction-focused programs provide hands-on coaching. Environmental stewardship is part of the operation through organized debris-collection dives such as Dive Against Debris events.
All descriptions reflect the programs available from Dive Maui. Guests should review prerequisites and certification requirements for scuba courses and advanced dives prior to booking.
