Do I need night diving experience?

No. As long as you hold an Open Water certification, instructors provide a mini night-diving class and a site briefing before the dive.

Is dive gear provided?

Yes. All standard scuba gear and dive lights are provided at no extra charge during this combo.

What is the minimum age?

Minimum age for participants is 10 years old; minors must meet certification requirements and be in good health.

Call the day before between 4:00–5:30 pm to confirm details and arrive 20 minutes early on the day for parking and gear fitting.

What about water temperature and wetsuits?

Hawaii’s water is warm year-round but cooler at night; a 3mm wetsuit or shorty is commonly comfortable—ask the operator for local recommendations.

Can I get photos or video of my dive?

Yes. The operator offers an optional dive video package—ask when booking to capture night-time encounters.

Twilight + Night Dive Combo: Maui Night Scuba Adventure in Lahaina

Twilight + Night Dive Combo plunges you into the living reef off Lahaina on Maui, Hawaii. Launching from 94 Kupuohi St a1 in Lahaina, this two-hour guided experience pairs a twilight dive with a full night immersion to watch the reef transition from daytime bustle to nocturnal choreography. Under the last light of day, banded surgeonfish and butterflyfish graze along coral heads—massive Porites and branching Montipora colonies that sit on ancient lava shelves. As dusk deepens the reef reshapes: diurnal grazers tuck into crevices while octopus, lobsters, and hunting trevally emerge. Your instructor leads a brief classroom primer and a site-specific safety talk, then fits you for gear; all scuba equipment and dive lights are supplied. Groups are small—four divers per instructor—so the focus stays on slow observation and safe navigation through patch reefs and sand channels. The technical entry is straightforward beach work: walk a short section of shore, descend along a reef edge, and drift over coral gardens alive with bioluminescent plankton in calm conditions. You do need an Open Water certification and basic buoyancy control; you don’t need previous night-dive experience because instructors run a mini night-diving class before each outing. Minimum age is 10, and the operation recommends reasonable physical health and English for safety briefings. Why this combo stands out: night dives off Lahaina reveal behavioral displays you won’t see in daytime—cleaner shrimp tending sleeping fish, cone snails burrowing in sand, and hunting patterns that reframe familiar species. The contrast between twilight feeding frenzies and hunting grounds after dark creates two distinct photographic opportunities in a single outing. The company’s local knowledge of currents, reef contours, and wildlife habits turns a standard dive into an educational exploration that highlights Maui’s living reef systems and the volcanic geology beneath them. Plan to arrive early for free parking, call the day before for check-in details, and consider adding a second dive if your schedule allows. Bring your certification card, swimsuit, towel, and reef-safe sunscreen. Practice low-impact diving—no touching coral, secure camera straps, and follow your guide’s path—to protect this fragile ecosystem. Instructors often offer optional dive video packages so you can relive encounters with sleeping parrotfish or prowling octopus; ask at booking. Small group sizes let guides point out subtle behaviors and explain Hawaiian reef ecology as you move. This is an accessible, high-value way to expand your dive log while supporting operators that emphasize safety, reef respect, and local stewardship. Whether you’re advancing night-diving skills or simply chasing marine life theatre, the Twilight + Night Dive Combo reads like an invitation to see Maui after dark—revealing a reef that hunts, hides, and sparkles under diver lights in ways daylight never lets you fully appreciate.
