The Experience

Skip the crowd and enjoy a First Class dive trip on the waters of Maui. We are a Premium, full concierge dive experience. On our dive trips we choose to have a maximum of 12 divers, separated into two groups, to make for a personalized day. Even though our spacious vessel can hold more passengers, we choose to keep it intimate. This ensures your two dives are personal and you get direct focus from our amazing dive professionals.

What to Expect

South Maui has some of the most incredible dive sites on the Valley Isle. We try to visit them all throughout the month. We are a dive operation that focuses on quality dives, and a complete high-quality experience. We strive to give our guests the best and most unique dives possible, but mother nature plays a huge role in that. So, every day is unique with Island Style Diving. We mix our dive sites up to make sure you are never bored with us. 

Our first dive is Molokini Crater. We dive inside the crater near the edge, as its incredible visibility, abundant sea life, and beautiful coral makes it Maui's #1 dive site. We also dive the Back wall of Molokini at least twice a week, go back to the main page and check our schedule if you're interested in that . The second dive site is typically somewhere off the coast of south Maui. Our Captain and owner Javier knows the best sites so feel free to request a site upon booking or when you come on board. No guarantees, but we strive to show you the best Maui has to offer. 

You can go back to the main site and see what dive sites we venture to. Click on the "learn more" tab to read more about each dive site. With many scuba diving sites to choose from, there is always a great dive spot to explore. Please feel free to leave a comment when booking to request a particular site. No guarantees :) but we love to know where you would like to go.

During your trip, we provide a nice assortment of delicious snacks, fruits, and beverages to make your trip highly enjoyable.

Do you need rental gear?

We have you covered! We can provide you with Premium BCD's, Regulators, and Wetsuits. (Mask and fins are always included in the base price), remember to please specify your needs!

  • Our boat features brand new Sting J Maui Wetsuits, Aqualung HD Pro BCD's, Apeks Regulators, and Oceanic Pro Plus 4 Digital Dive Computers to ensure a high quality experience.

The Fine Print:

Certified divers must have recent dive experience within the last 2 years. If it has been more than 2 years since your last dive, we require you to take a refresher prior to your trip with us. We can provide one from our other company Maui Dreams Dive Company. Go back to the main page and click on the Maui Dreams logo.

We always have a fabulous dive trip planned, but sometimes mother nature does not cooperate. If conditions are not safe or suitable for any particular dive site, the captain may make a judgement call and take you to the best possible dive site of the day. So, although Molokini Crater is usually our #1 planned destination, if it's not safe to dive there, we will adjust our day accordingly to ensure you have a fantastic experience. "Safe and Fun, in that order!" That is our motto. If we can't do both we aren't doing it. If for whatever reason conditions are so bad that the captain decides to "call off the day" we will happily reschedule you for another day, or offer you a full refund.
