About Island Scuba & Surf School - Scuba

Island Scuba & Surf School - Scuba is a Wailuku, Hawaii-based dive operator focused on small-group introductory scuba and guided shore dives around Wailea and the Westin Resort area. The business offers a Discover Scuba Dive Program that begins with a two-hour pool lesson in Wailea followed by a supervised ocean dive, providing a controlled environment for new divers to learn equipment, buoyancy, and basic safety skills. Participants aged 10 and up can enroll in the Introductory Scuba Pool Class Wailea, which emphasizes clear instruction and hands-on coaching before entering the ocean.

For shore-based reef exploration, Island Scuba leads Westin Resort - Ocean Beach Dives that explore local sites such as Black Rock and Kahekili Beach. Group sizes for those ocean dives are capped to ensure personalized attention, with a maximum of six divers per guide at some sites and a maximum of four divers per guide for specific Wailea beach sessions. The Wailea Intro Scuba Beach Dive is a 1.5-hour supervised shore dive intended for guests who completed the Discover Scuba lesson or for certified divers seeking a short, guided reef experience.

All programs prioritize site-specific briefings, equipment orientation, and stepwise progression from pool skills to reef dives. Limited spots and small group sizes support focused instruction and a safer, more comfortable introduction to scuba on Maui.
