Mike was very knowledgeable and nice in teaching us how to dive for the first time. We chose to do the 2nd dive and ended up swimming with lots of fish, sea turtles, and my favorite-sharks. This was surely the highlight of our trip to Maui.

I booked this experience and did it solo as my boyfriend was unable to go to Maui with me due to unforeseen circumstances. I let Caitlin know and she promised to take good care of me. Shane was my diving instructor and he was great! He gave a very clear and informative briefing before we went out to the beach. It was honestly scary going under the water the first time, but Shane said to trust him and to push through, and when I was completed submerged, it was the most amazing experience ever! He was always close by and constantly checked in. I wanted to do the optional second dive, but opted to wait until next month when my boyfriend and I return to Maui and he can do this experience too. Pick this instead of snorkeling as there are way more colorful fish and coral to see!

We are overjoyed to know that your first time diving (especially with some pre-dive jitters) turned out to be an amazing experience. We have the utmost confidence in each of our instructors and are glad that Shane took good care of you. We look forward to welcoming you and your boyfriend to Maui next month for more excellent diving together!

Learned the basics before the dive, headed to the site and had a blast! Shane was our instructor and did a great job leading my group through the adventure. The second dive was amazing! Weather and water conditions couldnā€™t have been better. Highly recommend!!!
