If you're reading through reviews looking for a sign - STOP! This is your sign! We did a beginners/private dive with Michael. This was my 12 year old daughter's first time diving. She was very intimidated and shy. Michael was outstanding and made her feel completely comfortable throughout the entire process. Michael's calm, easy going demeanor helped guide us easily through what could seem like a very daunting process. We had his undivided attention, he wasn't rushed, he was a very fun guide! We did about a 45 minute in person meeting where he went over all the details, fitted us with the necessary equipment, and then we drove to the first shore dive location. Here, we did a very easy going shore dive, where we were able to ease in as if we were simply snorkeling, then after feeling comfortable, descended underwater for about 45 minutes. We opted in for the second dive at Mala Ramp, which I HIGHLY recommend! The sunken pier has turned into a natural habitat covered in coral where you will find lots of turtles, very mellow reef sharks, gorgeous tropical fish, among other beautiful sights! Don't pass up Banyan Tree Divers, you can completely trust them and I will definitely book with them every time I return to Maui. Aloha!

We had Michael as our guide and he was phenomenal! He was incredibly thorough with instruction prior to the dive and made us feel really prepared. He's also very warm and attentive and made us all very comfortable throughout the whole experience. Some people in our group were more anxious than others and he did an admirable job making sure everyone was ready and comfortable every step of the way. I was nervous at the beginning but his instruction and attention made me feel really comfortable by the time we were moving. We signed up for an extra dive and are so glad we did. We saw SO many turtles. Not to mention a reef shark and an octopus. This was both me and my partner's favorite experience in Maui, hands down. If you're on the fence, just book it -- you will not regret it! I had such a great experience that I now want to get scuba certified. Thank you Banyan Tree Divers Maui!

Learning to scuba dive with Chris and Michael was an amazing experience. They even got my wife to scuba dive who is afraid of everything. Donā€™t miss your chance with these guys. Look no further than Banyan Tree Divers!!!! I went ahead and got my open water diver certification through Chris Doerr who is a great instructor!!! It was well worth the time and money.
