We had a great experience with this dive shop. From the moment we walked in, Andre took us under his wing and made sure we were properly fitted with dive gear and provided some excellent dive locations.We did seven shore dives on west Maui, saw many incredible species, and made friends along the way. Next visit, we plan to jump on a boat and check out many other locations.We’d highly recommend this shop and suggest you ask for Andre. His service was bar none – he’s got great jokes, upbeat, friendly, and super helpful.Happy diving!

Great employees. We dove with Jillian in two different locations she was very knowledgeable about the areas that we dove in as well as explaining how all the equipment worked. An absolute awesome day. Wouldnt hurt if they upgraded their vans 🙃Just saying

Awesome experience. We worked with 3 different guides all of which where great to be with. We did 5 dives in total 1 of which was a night dive. This was our 6-11 dives so we are amateurs. Overall best dives weve seen so far.

Fantastic customer service! We stopped to buy a couple of very nice snorkels. Claire was very helpful, as were all the staff there, who also helped us fix a couple of stubborn walking sticks! They were knowledgeable and willing to help us with whatever we needed. Highly recommend!

Hats off to such a wonderful scuba diving team. My partner and I had two 2-tank shore dives, led by Ethan/Kasha and Jillian. Everyone was incredibly engaging, loved what they do and really knew the diving environment. They gave us some incredible experiences, showed us some incredible wildlife and spent the time / attention to educate us on undersea life around Maui.After all my experiences with diving organizations around the world, Maui Divers truly ranks at the top. Would highly recommend this company and team for your next dives in Maui.

As a first time scuba diver I’m extremely grateful for the folks here at Maui Diving. First the manager made calls to find us an instructor for day we were requesting as it was our last full day in Maui. Despite their schedule being booked they accommodated our family of 4, with 2 of us first timers. They arranged for us to have a master diver as our instructor and two other certified instructors. I know I’m messing up their credentials/titles and I apologize but I have to give a shout out to Diamond as she stuck right by me and encouraged me as I almost gave up and didn’t dive. She was patient with me and she’s a huge reason I was willing to complete my first dive! Josh was knowledgeable and personable as well! He stopped the van for us to see a seal and educated us on the nearly extinct Hawaiian Monk Seal. Highly recommend this place as their staff is the absolute best!

Highly recommend. Ive logged hundreds of dives but not my wife. It had been a decade since our last dive. I made the reservation the afternoon before our dive. We arrived at 8 a.m., and we quickly went through the fitting process for gear. Ive seem similar operations be disorganized, but not these guys. We had our own certified instructor, Jillian, as our guide, and she had us go through some refresher skills at the shop because of the time since our last dive. Jillian was extremely professional but fun. The three of us drove in a shop van to our two destinations. We dove Airport Beach and the pier at Mala Wharf. We went through a few skills on the ocean floor (which put my wife at ease) and then started our touring. Airport Beach was just okay (compared to the countless Caribbean reefs Ive seen), but Mala Wharf was excellent. Saw tons of marine life, including moray eels, a frogfish, and of course sharks and sea turtles. Any dive shop will take you to these places, but our experience with this one was great. If its been a while since your last dive, I encourage you to go this route.

I couldn’t rave more about this dive shop. Coming into the shop, we worked with Derick, who was awesome and gave us a ton of helpful info and guidance for diving and our time here in Maui. Super cool dude. I went out last night on the twilight and night guided dives at Blackrock led by Andy and Micah. Andy led the team on both dives and did an amazing job pointing out a bunch of cool fish and wildlife, and made sure to keep the focus on safety. My first night dive was a resounding success and I’m hooked. We saw turtles, a ton of eels, some octopus, and a million fish and other creatures. I’m a big believer that the people you dive with really impact the experience, and I have nothing but positive things to say about the dive and the pace Andy took us on. This morning I went out to another dive, but unfortunately, someone had a medical emergency. Johnny, the instructor leading the group, acted immediately and handled the situation with fluid professionalism. It was exactly what you’d hope an instructor would do if someone needed care and assistance. While I opted not to complete my dive, the shop was totally understanding. Hopefully next time I’m in Maui I will dive with Johnny, since I was really looking forward to that. If you dive with these guys, you’ll definitely be in great hands. 10/10 would recommend this shop, especially if guided by the guys I mentioned above.

Maui Diving is an excellent dive shop. We dove with their instructors Woody, David and Becca, and they were all great, easy going, professional and friendly instructors! They prepped all our gear, were patient in fitting us with any missing wetsuits/fins, and always took the time to re-brief everyone on their equipment and on the dive brief. We highly recommend this dive shop, we did the 5 dive package and they were the highlight of our trip! Definitely worth it! Thank you so much, well come again!

Awesome dive shop. Well qualified staff, great vibe, above average quality for rental gear, over the top service, clean, and organized. Prices are a bit expensive, but that may be just all diving on Maui. For us it was definitely worth the money. This shop was recommended to me by someone who works in the industry and I, without a doubt, would repeat that recommendation to anyone looking to dive or snorkel on the island.

Did two dives with Chris and everything was great, this place has been the BEST ran shop of ALL diving shops I have worked with. Chris had everything set up and ready to go from the get go. He also was always taking care of everything, from switching the regulators in between dives, to putting everything away at the end and everything you could ask for and even more than you could expect. I would specially recommended for beginners since he is very patient and attentive, he tailored for the most experienced drivers but was always remind my wife which is not as experienced to take its time and seem sincerely to care. If I had one thing I wish they change is the web page oversells the likelihood of seeing mantas on their manta dive. Still amazing dives and great service

The diving in Maui is amazing and one of the reasons why we came to Maui for our vacation. There are a lot of options to scuba right from the beach and many options for dive outfits to go out with. That being said, the folks at Maui Diving Scuba Center have the local knowledge to keep their clients safe and also educate and inform and I am glad we choose them.I signed up for the 5 star 5 dive package and ended up booking one additional Mala dive with them because the diving there is so good. In all, I spent 5 days diving with them and a total of 9 dives. They were well organized and prepared to get us rolling promptly which meant most days we were out of the water and back to the shop around 1 PM which left lots of family time for the afternoon.Additionally, they offered a Turtle conservation class which I attended, and thought it made me a better more responsible diver when swimming with turtles.I just want to personally thank the divemasters I had the chance to go diving with (please pardon any misspelling on the names). Big shout out to Yancy, Johnny, Sarah, and Dave for taking great care of me and the rest of the divers while we were out with you. Johnny offered a photo package from our Mala dive that was really an unexpected bonus.Last but not least is Jillian in the office. She really went above and beyond helping to coordinate all of my dives. She was patient and understanding when I screwed up and booked a night dive on my wifes birthday. Having someone that is solution-focused and customer-centric is vital for a tourism company. Jillian also helped me find a new dive mask. I have struggled to find a mask that doesnt leak because of my beard and is also comfortable. It was so much more fun diving without having to keep clearing my mask.Thank you for your help in making this an unforgettable trip!

We had two fantastic dives - a twilight and a night dive - at Black Rock with Simon. Simon was very friendly and supported all our needs and the reef was very lively. Make sure to bring some food that you can eat between the two dives - something simple like sandwiches. It will stay in the van but when the van is retrieved from parking to switch out tanks, you can grab a quick bite during the surface interval. Thanks Maui Diving and simon!

My wife and I got certified through Maui diving in 2018 and just finished our advanced certification in early June 2021. The owners and staff are fantastic. We have completed amazing dives with them up and down the Maui coast. Last week we did a two tank and amongst other incredible sea life we saw four sharks and swam with a Manta for about 20 minutes! We fully suggest planning your next dive with Maui Diving. We even had our son and daughter in law get certified with them as a Christmas gift. And after your dive if you are thirsty our favorite brewery, Kahola, is across the parking lot. Cant wait for our next trip

Review №25

Great experience with Kevin! Everything was clearly explained in the beginning classroom session and he answered any questions we had. He was extremely patient with our group and understood that this was our first time scuba diving. Nothing was rushed and he made sure we were all comfortable in the water before continuing the dive session.Our first tank consisted of practicing what was taught in the classroom in regards to mask clearing, respirator retrieval, checking air supply pressure and equalizing. The max depth was around 14ft but it did take some time to get used to the pressure change and breathing.Second tank was a bit more interesting since we’ve started to become more acclimated to the equipment and under water environment. We started moving slowly to deeper depths, ~40ft below the surface. Kevin brought us to spots with great marine life with stunning views of the coral. Unfortunately, the turtle wasnt in the area when we passed by.Overall it was a great experience and everyone in the group enjoyed themselves. I would highly recommend this dive shop.

Review №29

I had written off shore dives as exhausting affairs with little to see. Thank you to Maui Diving for proving me wrong! We dove Mala Wharf, then Honolua Bay.Mala Wharf was a revelation! I have done hundreds of dives, and its easily in my top 5 dives, shore or boat. We saw schools of fish, a shark, and easily 20, maybe 30 turtles. All this in the interesting-looking ruins of a collapsed pier, in shallow, crystal-clear water.Honolua bay was billed as a manta cleaning station, but on the day the turtles had driven away the Mantas, so we saw more turtles, and another shark. Still, its a good day when your big problem in life is that you saw more sea turtles! The walk to the bay is through the most spectacular banyan grove Ive ever seen, and I highly recommend it even just for snorkeling, though parking is scarce.Our guide was energetic and friendly, and the shop is large and clean. Best of all, its right across the parking lot from the Kohola Brewery, which has a breezy converted warehouse taproom with delicious and varied beers. A great place to decompress post-dive! Its easily one of my favorite Hawaiian brewers, right up there with Kona Brewing Company.

Had a dive scheduled on our last free day of the trip. Recieved multiple calls from them asking if we could reschedule. Said we couldnt, but they said not to worry wed still be able to dive. Arrived the day of the dive and they canceled on us. When we arrived it was obvious the person that was running our dive wasnt there and had called it in a day or two before. Wish they would have cancelled earlier. Could have tried to schedule a dive at a different company. Poorly handled

Review №36

Updated: Eventually heard back and was issued an acceptable discount for our experience.Very disappointing. This was supposed to be my boys introduction to scuba and, unfortunately, they never got past the in shop class and safety check due to poor conditions and visibility. While I completely understand that this was beyond the shops control, I enquired about a partial refund twice due to us not receiving what we paid for and never received a response. Even our guides (Woody and Sarah, who were AWESOME) said it was poor conditions from a dive earlier that morning. So why even take us there? Working in the tourism industry myself, ensuring we meet our guests expectations and that they receive what they paid for is paramount, so I found the lack of a partial refund or even a response to my inquiry to be extremely disappointing.

Review №41

Ill first say that the actual two shore dives that we had once we got in the water were very beautiful dives... Our first dive was a very popular airport Beach dive and our second dive was at the Mala Road Pier. We have Dove in many places around the world and have had excellent customer service in almost every location.... But unfortunately we were disappointed in the customer service aspect of these two dives.....We Dove on a particularly HOT day and with one dive leader and 4 divers, there was absolutely NO signs of any cool beverages or refreshing fruit snacks of any type before or between the dives or afterwards!! Ive read other reviews and it seems like this MUST have been a huge oversight because people report that they did get some form of beverage or fruit.... This should be considered a basic guaranteed staple in all dives, hydration and some form of fruit snack. On the second dive we drove down to the Mala Road ramp unfortunately there was absolutely no parking to be found anywhere along Mala road and anywhere near the water. I was shocked to find out that our dive leader drove back to the main parked the van on the road.... Loaded up the four dehydrated divers in their full wetsuits and tanks.... And then made us walk 300+ yards all the way down mala ramp Road until we then stumbled into the water.... to try and now navigate the the long Rocky entry! What should have happened is the four customers SHOULD have been dropped off at the end of the ramp along with all the dive equipment while our leader should have parked the van himself and walkef back to us, and then help get our equipment on. The dives were beautiful and the fish and turtles were awesome, but thats pretty well basic for EVERY single dive group out there.....its the customer service that earns the Stars!! Id strongly suggest that you carefully read this review Maui diving and adjust your customer experience accordingly.

Review №53

Rented 2 sets of snorkel gear (masks, snorkels, fins) from this shop this morning with a friend before going to Honolua Bay. We drove to the bay and the minute I put on my goggles and tightened the straps, the inner soft plastic part ripped out from the frame where, upon further inspection, it was cracked. I SWEAR on my mother’s life, I did not drop or crush any of the gear. All we did was put the gear bags in the trunk (with nothing else in there), take them out, and walk them down the path to the bay. The other gear was fine and my friend’s set was completely fine, and I luckily had some regular swim goggles in the car that I used instead since we didn’t want to drive back to the dive shop and miss snorkeling before it got too windy.The snorkeling was great, and we went back later in the afternoon to return the gear. However, when I tried to explain to one of the employees what happened, he jokingly said “talk to someone who cares” (which...okay, rude, but whatever) and directed me to who I believe was the shop owner.Since I didn’t check the gear before leaving the shop, there was no way to prove that the gear was faulty when I first got it so I had to pay $60 for the broken goggles. Now, I get it, I should have looked over the gear before leaving the shop, and with COVID a lot of businesses are having a hard time, but obviously it was not inspected thoroughly enough by the employees despite what the owner said. The other side of the goggles were cracked but not yet broken in the same exact place of hard plastic near where the straps attach, so I’m guessing they were damaged from previous users over-tightening the straps and I was the straw that broke the camel’s back.I rarely write reviews at all, and the only reason I’m not giving 1 star is because the owner was as kind as possible about it and kept apologizing, but I’m writing this as a warning to others who rent from these guys: CHECK YOUR GEAR BEFORE LEAVING. They DO NOT inspect the gear for faults very well at all.

Came in with little experience and was paired with David, a solid and patient instructor, who tailored our dive days to meet the group’s comfort levels and needs. I’m a big fan of challenge by choice and getting comfortable with being uncomfortable and David and the dive center embodies those principles in their teaching. Be ready to to stay calm and patient and push past those moments of unease to make the absolute best of your dive class. Surpassed my expectations, the ocean life was surreal, and this weekend is a definitive part of my time on island.

2017 Adding to my previous review from last year. Returned this year to Maui now as a rescue diver,. Again chose Maui Diving and Will as my dive guide for two awesome shore dives. Black Rock and Mala Pier. Highly recommend this shop, great service and competative prices. Will is an amazing dive master and instructor. I requested Will again this year as I felt he was an extremely safe and knowledgeable instructor for my Open Water. This year he made the two dives both fun and memorable. If your diving in Lahaina definately request Will and this dive shop2016...Just got my open water through this shop. Great people. Great prices. My instructor William was terrific.

Being a certified diver wanting to take my un-certified daughter with me was a stressful task. Spoke with the staff over the phone about concerns on their intro course. They were amazing with questions and was able to easily book a group dive with other family members as well. Ashley was our dive master and the intro classroom was amazing. They took all covid protocols seriously and made it seem nonexistent still. We did the beach dive and Ashley took all the time in the world explaining everything and showing us the hidden underworld. It was so much fun to dive with my daughter, thank you for yet another fun memory.

Thanks for having the gear we needed in a pinch! Great staff AND they answered the phone unlike all the other dive/snorkel shops around that we tried to call.We needed a simple camera float strap (bouyant lanyard) and they had exactly what we needed. Thanks for stocking stuff!

Dave is the best dive instructor this side of the Mississip’. He should be promoted to owner ASAP. Also, the shop is awesome, the dives are spectacular, and the swag is grade-A. 10/10 would recommend.

Getting open water certified through Maui Diving was an amazing experience!! Our instructor patiently supported our group through different skill demonstrations and created a calm environment necessary to successfully and confidently understand vital PADI protocols. I felt safe, educated, and excited throughout my certification!

TL;DR Do not book boat dives with this shop. They subcontract their boat dives to other dive shops. We prepaid, but then showed up at 7am to a full dive boat. Maui Diving never secured the booking.Myself and 3 friends booked 2 days of boat diving (Molikini Crater and Cathedrals) with Maui Diving. We prepaid $1700 for the dives. The person that booked the diving was clearly new and had trouble with the booking. I had to give her our info (names, cert level, no of dives, equipment needs) twice. That night I received emailed receipts for boat dives with Maui Diamond and Dive Maui.On the first full day of our trip in Maui we arrived at the Maui Diamond (no Maui Diving) boat. The captain informed us that we were not on the list and that the boat was full. We showed them the emailed receipt. Despite the receipt, Maui Diving never secured the booking. The captain said that he had availability to take us diving in the afternoon though.We were clearly upset about the situation. I went to the Maui Diving store in person. After dealing with an associate i was put in touch via phone with Jamie (the manager). I explained the situation and told her that the captain of the subcontracted boat could take us out in the afternoon instead. I thought this was a reasonnable solution.After making several calls (to the owner) she said this was not possible. I realized then that they did not operate any boats as it would have been an easy solution to take us out that afternoon on their boat.She said we had three choices: do a shore dive, refund our money, or do the dive two days later. First, we were planning on the specific boat dive as we wanted to dive Molikini. We could shore dive on our own, so first option was laughable. We did not want a refund or rescheduled as that would have ruined the first day of the trip . Also, all the other days of our trip were booked. We already paid, so we expected Maui Diving to respect that and make it happen. Since they do not operate a boat or was willing to pay to charter another boat, they did not comply.I told Jamie that this would obviously result in a bad review online. She flipped out and threatened to cancel the whole $1700 booking and refund our money. I had to plead with her not too. Most other boats were full for the week and would have resulted in not being able to boat dive. We accepted the option to dive Molikini on Wednesday and gave up going to Haleokala national park as we had initially planned.They subcontracted us on a boat dive through Dive Maui the next day for the Cathedrals . They were amazing! And then re-booked us with Steve Severns for Molikini the day after. Both Steve Severns and Dive Maui were excellent. 100% recommend. Book directly with the companies that operate the boats. Dont let Maui dive screw you and blow a day of your vacation.

A group of 3 of us did the Mala Pier plus dive. Our Dive Master was Sarah and it’s unfortunate that she had a bad attitude right from the start. She was utterly unprofessional and did not value add to our experience at all. There was a member of our group who was diving after a while and was rather unsure about things and instead of instructing and and guiding she was condescending and outright rude. Why would one bother to go with a dive master if not for the guidance and the benefit of their knowledge and experience? Certainly not to be made to feel stupid for asking questions.

Great Father/Daughter experience! From signing up online in Canada, to receiving the materials they were very supportive throughout. My daughter and I studied the materials together and when we got to the shop on the first day we were greeted by our instructor, Kevin who is a very good teacher. He led us through the classroom, confined and open water exercises with thoroughness and patience. He made the experience and encouraged us to explore our new world. We were very pleased.

We were treated well here when we stopped in to rent scuba gear for some local beach dives. The shop was really nice, and they seemed to have classes going each time we stopped by for new tanks, to return our gear, and even while we waited for AAA to show up and unlock our rental car we inadvertently locked with the keys inside.

WOW!! My husband and I did two amazing shore dives and saw an abundance of ocean life: sharks, turtles, eels, schools of fish, etc, etc! Our dive instructor (Dave) was extremely attentive, professional, and fun! All divers met at the shop at 9AM and we were organized into smaller groups of six... perfect group size for diving! We did Black Rock and Mala Pier. We will definitely be back to Maui just to dive with Maui Diving! Thank you so much for an incredible memory. ❤️🌺🌴

We dove on Christmas day with Maui divers and it was fantastic experience. The Crew went out of their way to be helpful and make the diving easy. You arrive at the boat and all of your gear is set up with you for rented All you do is put on a wetsuit and sit down and put on your BC. The staff was extremely friendly with us and each other and obviously enjoy their jobs. We had a fantastic time. they served breakfast and lunch on board will definitely Dive with Maui divers again.
