10/10 would recommend Banyan Tree Divers!! My fiance and I took our first dive yesterday and Kevin & his team were a dream to work with. We had the opportunity to learn & dive with Kevin! We were a bit nervous leading up to that morning, never having dived before but Kevin quickly eased those nerves, vanished them really, right away! He was so comforting and made diving simple, easy & fun! Incredible teacher, incredible dive sights, experience, education, all of the above! We will now be diving any other chance we can get and will absolutely be visiting Banyan Tree Divers team again whenever we come back to Maui! Book this experience- you will not regret it!

Aloha, Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts about diving with Banyan Tree Divers! We are glad that you had a good time diving with Kevin. A little nerves in the beginning are natural and good! It's great to know that you felt safe and well taken care of during your dive. We very much look forward to seeing you back on Maui again.

Wow! Chris was so amazing teaching my son the basics of diving, then walking him through the water tests and finally taking him on two amazing dives. I am an advanced diver so this was all about him but it was so great to watch him have such a great first experience. They gear was quality, the teaching was great and not overkill for his age group and the attention under water was great. On top of it all, our instructor Chris took great pics that I will cherish as the first dive experience for my son. Awesome!!! Thanks so much!!

We are so glad that this was the case for your son. We are also happy to know that you approve of the quality of the instruction and equipment. Many thanks for your recommendation to others and we hope to dive with you again in the future!
