We found Banyan Tree Divers Maui while looking for an introductory/discover scuba class on a recent trip to Maui. They deserve all the praise they have received. Our instructor was Kevin and he couldn't have been more fun and confidence inspiring with our dive party (three others and our party of two). With clear explanations, no pressure to perform things we weren't comfortable with once in the water, and the ability to make everyone feel comfortable regardless our individual needs as first timers, Kevin made it feel as if you could be on your way to your own PADI certificate or just having a relaxing time exploring the ocean in a way you have to experience to believe it possible. A welcome surprise was the ability to purchase our dive pictures via dropbox so we could share them instantly with family & friends. Banyan Tree will be our recommendation to anyone visiting Maui for scuba diving.

Aloha, thank you for sharing your experience diving with Kevin and Banyan Tree Divers! It's wonderful that everyone felt safe and relaxed. A first dive can be scary in the beginning and it's so important that everyone feels well prepared, and not pressured to perform outside of one's ability. Many thanks for your support of our little company and we hope you keep diving!
