A guided shore dive just off the coast of Maui is the perfect introduction to scuba diving. You’ll see some of the island’s best coral reefs while practicing the basics of diving at your own pace with a small group of four people maximum, ensuring personalized attention from the guide. Choose from multiple lesson times when booking.
Divers must be in good physical health: Please be aware that you are required to fill out the medical waiver form (located on the view additional information button at the bottom of this description) and submit it to the local operator prior to your arrival. All medical questions on the waiver must be answered with a no if you wish to dive. If you have answered yes to any of the medical questions on the waiver, you will be required to provide a doctors release prior to diving.
Your introductory scuba dive starts with a 45-minute lesson at the dive shop in central Lahaina, where you’ll learn how to put on your mask and other equipment, breathe through a regulator and accomplish other basic diving skills. Then it’s off to the reef where you’ll wade into the water for your first dive at an uncrowded site such as Black Rock on Kaanapali Beach, Honolua, Airport Beach, Kapalua Bay, Mala Pier or Canoe Beach. Depths off Maui’s coast go no deeper than 35 feet (10.7 meters) but are still home to diverse marine life like green sea turtles, coral and plenty of tropical fish. Swim alongside your dive guide in a small group, enjoying customized attention and the flexibility to move at your own pace while you get used to being underwater and practice diving techniques. This guided shore dive counts toward certification, and you will be registered with PADI at no extra cost.

This was such a new and scary experience for me, but it couldn't have gone better for me being a first timer. Everyone was professional and kind and did everything in their power to make this dive something I'll never forget!!! This is absolutely worth it!

Jessica was a great instructor for our first scuba lesson and highly recommended. She was very knowledgeable with safety as the most importance in mind. We will definitely be back as we work to get certified.

Keith was a friendly, competent and super amazing guide. He made my first dive experience once to remember and met me at where I was at. His guidance and safety orientation has validated my continued interest in diving. I highly recommend him and this tour when visiting the island!
