Donā€™t skip the second dive - youā€™ll regret it! We opted to do just one dive but had such an amazing experience that we immediately did a second dive afterward, and even came back another day for a third. Having never dove before, Mike made it really clear and easy to feel comfortable before going under. We had up close and personal views of coral and beautiful fish, lots of turtles and even 3 or 4 sharks! Mike made it feel safe, noninvasive and got lots of great photos of the experience (I wouldnā€™t pass on those either). This was the highlight of our trip to Maui!

Mike was the best! We met up before the dive and we showed up a half hour early. Mike and the staff were so welcoming and invited us in and got play with their dog before the instructions. Mike was very relaxed and thorough thought the first dive. He made sure we felt comfortable and picked th best dive sites to see turtles and hear the whales. Best time! Thanks!
