We had an amazing time! Jen was so patient while teaching us the skills. We did 2 dives and would highly recommend it! There's so much to see! So many turtles, fish, coral, and even a shark. We'll be treasuring the photos/videos from our dive.

Thanks to Caitlin and Jenn for a very enjoyable dive experience. They were very patient and thorough in teaching our family of 5 adults to dive. I was worried about being cold in the water since we were diving in December, but they provided wet suits and I was never chilly. I would highly recommend adding the second dive. The first dive was really more about learning the skills and practicing. Once we became comfortable with the equipment, we were able to move on to a site that offered much more to see. I would also highly recommend adding the option for them to take pictures . . . we got some great ones to remember the day by. Thank you so much Caitlin and Jenn for a wonderful day!

Aloha, thank you for coming out with us the other day! We are glad that you enjoyed your time diving with Caitlin and Jen. The water during the winter can get a little chilly so it's good to know that you were nice and warm. We hope you keep diving and hopefully we get the chance to dive with you and your family again in the future!

If you want to try scuba diving in Maui, Banyan Tree Divers is the company to do it with. The class before the dive helps you feel at ease, and Chris and Annika made sure each diver in the group went at their own pace until they felt comfortable underwater. As a first time diver, they answered every question I had before we started and checked in on me throughout the dive to make sure I was doing ok. They help you get in and out of the ocean safely as well. This is also a great experience for solo travelers looking to have a new adventure. Highly recommend if you are at all curious about scuba diving!

Aloha, thank you for taking the time to write a review of your experience diving with Chris and Annika. We are glad that you enjoyed your time in the water. To execute a successful first dive, it is extremely important that you as a student feel comfortable and reassured by your instructor. We are glad that you found this with us. We appreciate your recommendation to others and hope to dive with you again!
