Maui Dive Shop

Came in here for a go pro charger… and they don’t sell go pro chargers… they only rent the go Pro camera. he didn’t even offer to let me use his charger or else I’d give them a five star. Go buy your own snorkel gear it’s the same price as renting from the place and you don’t have to put your mouth on a nasty used mouth piece that who knows how many ppl have chewed on. I know I bought my gear and it’s my third vacation using it… Def worth the investment and the piece of mind of not using a mouthpiece someone else used.

Me and my wife did the New Years Feast sailing cruise. The service and attention to detail was fantastic! Good was bad to the bone! If you want to be catered too and treated like royalty this is your boat. This is my 3^rd time using this company in Maui for diving and evening sailing. They are first class in every way. They cater to you in every service they do. Thx again!

I wish I could write a review on the trip but It was canceled late afternoon the day before for not having enough people. Really disappointing. Phone staff isn’t rude but not exactly friendly either. Refund was no hassle.

Had a great two dives the water was a little rough but the captain did a great job. The dive masters where very knowledgeable.

This shop is first class, from pick up to drop off. The staff is knowledgeable and professional, taking great care to offer a great dive experience to each diver. They picked me up from the hotel, made sure that I was well fed and, better yet, got to see everything. Go with diver master Rob, he’s meticulous about safety.

The best diving company I’ve booked with.
When booking at the dive shop I kept changing my mind of which day and time I wanted to schedule. The lady was very patient and professional.
The morning of the dive, they provided free transportation back and forth from the hotel. I picked up my gear rental and it was clean and maintained.
When I got on the boat all my tanks and BCD were neatly setup and tagged with my name. They provided eggs, bacon and pastry breakfast with coffee. For lunch they served a neatly organized spread of cold cuts, veggies chips, mac salad and sodas. After the dive they handed scented towels to freshen up our face.
During the ride out to Molokini, two people got sick and the dive masters gave them extra attention to make sure they were okay. Under the water they made us feel safe and pointed out everything rare and exotic.
Big thanks to dive masters Larissa and Rivers for all the attention.

I couldn’t imagine a better experience. I’ve been diving for nearly 30 years and this is a great company to go with. My two sons are newly certified and they catered to all experience levels on the boat. We did the two dive package and saw sharks, turtles, dolphins, octopus and miles of coral. Both dives went the distance of about 40 minutes. The crew did all the work, feed us three times and totally hooked me up when my BCD failed on the first dive!

All in all this was a pretty good dive outing. The boat was big and not too crowded. Lots of room to lay out your gear and move about, can even go up on the bridge and enjoy the breeze and the view. They handled all the gear, tanks, switchovers, etc. The guy who checked us in could have been a little more helpful in maybe telling us to DRIVE over to the boat dock – he pointed and we walked but then went back later for the car as it was way on the far side of the harbor. We did Manta Point and a Turtle Reef but saw neither (one turtle from the boat sort of). The fish and some eels were OK. Our guides and the captain were good. We did the afternoon dive and it seemed like we kind of got leftovers from the morning dive (only a few cookies out and they went fast!) but they had a bunch of chips, trail mix, big cooler of drinks, etc. which was really nice. Decent dives but didn’t see what we came to see. Maybe next time – would dive with them again as the boat, setup and people were really nice.

I booked 3 days of diving off the Maka Koa for my first visit to Maui. I am so glad I ended up with this crew and got to experience the dive sites with their expert guidance and great hospitality. Each day, the crew set up and washed my personal gear for me. The also picked me up each morning from Kihei to take me to the harbor. I really appreciated the way the briefings emphasized the importance of wildlife conservation and went over the rules regarding what can/can’t be touched, etc. Captain Lyle was skilled at his job and made the experience great for everyone. I had a different dive leader each trip and they were all exceptional. Thank you Matt Hudson, Jolin F, and David Early for emphasizing safety and fun! Being unfamiliar with the waters here, I’m glad my first dives off of Maui were with professionals who know every detail of the dive sites. I feel like I got to see as much sea life as possible. Other than being safe and very hard working, the whole crew was just a ton of fun and had us all laughing. Thanks again! Hope to see you next time! Aloha.

Professional crew, fancy boat, equipment is more advanced than other shops. They run a super safe operation. Tank starts at 3200 – 3400 psi. They consider halftank at 1800 psi and safety stop at 1200. I went on the Manta dive with them — we didnt see any mantas unfortunately, but it was still a good experience. Minimal food on board, just some fruits and crackers.

Maui dive SHOP’s crew is by far the safest dive operation we have hired. They really go the extra mile to make sure everyone is safe. I was so happy that they gave me a log with my dive profiles on a card (from the extra dive computers they put on everyone’s bcd). Have not had any shop do this in the past but was a nice to now where we went diving! The whole crew was awesome! Water clarity was unbelievable!

I can’t recommend them unfortunately. I got really bad blisters on my foot because I didn’t get fins in their shop. Wasn’t told there weren’t any fins on the boat but was told the wetsuit was on the boat so I thought I would be fitted for them there. They had one pair of snorkeling fins with open tops that were too small for me but I didn’t know any better and used them. Total bummer and spent more than $ 40 on bandaids and neosporin. They told me I should have known to get them in the shop. Gave them an opportunity to refund or credit me but they wouldn’t. Not cool.

I went on a 2-​tank dive to Lanai from Maalea Small Boat Harbor with a group of 14 divers and had a wonderful experience. The boat left at 7:00 a.m. I wish I could remember the names of the captain and crew, but the captain was great as were both dive masters. The crew took safety seriously, yet had great senses of humor. Since it was humpback whale season, there were no shortage of close encounters with breaching whales on the 2-​hr boat ride out and back. The diving at the Cathedrals was fantastic – great visibility (100-​feet) and great underwater structures. The breakfast and lunch were ample and the boat was in great shape. The crew did all the work, placing the BCs on the tanks before the first and second dives and assisting the divers being seated and in/​out of the boat. After hundreds of dives, I’ve yet to have a superior experience. I would highly recommend Maui Dive Shop for a trip to Lanai.

Guys never shop from this shop. We had a very bad experience with these people. Bcoz of bad weather condition molokini tour got cancelled and we did not even used the camera. We asked them to refund back our money Bcoz we did not used it. Bullshit people did not even listened to us started saying we don’t give refund. Was very disappointed. Bad to see in Maui people don’t understand the tourists.

Just dove with these guys for my second time. I came here last year and enjoyed it so much I that I decided to go with them again. Had two great dives today on molokini. Crew was awesome, set everything up and washed gear for us, and there was tasty breakfast, lunch, drinks, and snacks on board. They went the extra mile to give us a great morning. Great experience, will definitely use them again if I return to maui. Big shout out to Gil, the octopus whisperer. He was a great guide. Very laid back but great at spotting rare finds.

Loved going on a snorkeling your with these guys! I could borrow all the gear from them and they sent a person in the water with the group of snorkelers. The tour also had divers, and everything was well organized. Breakfast and lunch on the boat was included and the guides pointed out what to look at. Being a beginner snorkeler to me just being in the water was awesome, but knowing what to look for made it even better. Went on their Molokini Crater tour, lots of fun!

I went for a 5 hour snorkel cruise on the Alii Nui. It’s a really beautiful boat, very stable, with an amazing low-​key, very experienced crew. This boat had everything included and we found it was worth the price. It’s more expensive that the rest of the boats & it’s worth it. Thank you for a wonderful trip to swim with Turtles and out to Molokini island. You made my whole trip!

I did a two dive trip on Feb 10, the first dive was a «reef» dive. This «reef» was about 300 old used car tires on the ocean floor, nasty! I felt like I was back in NJ… I did not come to HI to dive on trash. As you can tell, I was not happy with the first dive. The second dive was very nice on molokini crater and made up for the first trash dive. The dive team was very nice and helpful, this was my first dive in 7 years and the team made me feel very safe. First dive = –10%, Second dive = 110%, dive boat = 80% (little small — hard to move around), dive team = 100%, gear = 60% (little old). Side note: the guy in the dive shop (before the dive) was on the nasty side, he also reminded my of NJ. I would suggest that the tire trash dive be removed and the guy working in the shop should treat people better. I would dive with this boat again but not on the «tire reef»… Maalaea Harbor Village
300 Maalaea Rd. #225

Good service and they took care of everything (VIP diving) and switched it out between dives. The schedule was flawless and the crew was really nice. They had a great ratio of divers per crew.

I have always wanted to learn to scuba dive and thought my week in Hawaii would be the best time to do it, but, I didn’t want to spend my entire trip in the classroom… thankfully, Maui Dive Shop had something just perfect for me and my parents (certified divers, but they hadn’t been in over 15 years). They offered an introductory dive! It came with all the equipment you needed, thorough instructions and 2 fun dives off a boat!
I was a bit nervous at first but the staff was very knowledgable and fun! My parents and I were assigned Kayleigh Paulin as our private instructor. She explained how our SCUBAs worked, how to clear our masked, how to breathe, etc, etc. We jumped in the water had a quick lesson and were on our way. During our dives Kayleigh would lead us around this amazing underwater world, but always made sure to turn around and make sure none of us were in peril. she would also often check our air meters to make sure we were all still in good shape.
I saw 4 sea turtles!!! and Kayleigh always pointed out other cool underwater creatures to us! I had such a great time and an amazing experience!!! Kayleigh was awesome! I can even use this dive towards my certification! I can’t wait to come back!!! I definitely recommend!!! I even got a free shirt!
