Experience the thrill of Maui's shore diving, where easy sand entries lead to vibrant coral reefs teeming with unique marine life. Join guided dives to encounter endemic fish, turtles, and rays, while refreshing your skills in a stunning underwater paradise. Create unforgettable memories in the breathtaking waters of Hawaii!
Maui's shore diving is easy and fun. The entries are typically short walks over sand - no major hikes or rocky entries! Underwater, we will cruise along coral reefs, maxing out at depth of about 40 feet deep, making for nice, long dives!
Over 25% of the fish you'll see in Maui's waters are endemic to Hawaii (only found here). During this experience, you'll join us for one or two guided dives from the shore. Once we're at the dive site, we'll set up our gear together and your guide provide you with a thorough briefing so you know what to expect, and what you're going to see, including tropical fish, turtles, rays, and more.
If it's been a couple of years since your last dive, a guided shore dive is the perfect way to freshen up your skills, get weighted properly for local conditions, and become acclimated to diving in Maui. After this, we'd recommend a boat dive!
All equipment is included.
We'll meet at the shop, fit you for gear, and determine which site we'll be exploring for the day.
Once everyone's ready, we'll head out to the dive site. Divers must provide their own transportation, so don't let your buddy drop you off!
At the beach, you can set up your own equipment or we'll be happy to do it for you. After the briefing and buddy checks, we get to go diving!
From turtles to singing whales (in season), you'll have memories for a lifetime!
