Iā€™m a beginning diver who wanted to dive with some experienced friends. Kevin was great at familiarizing me with the equipment and getting me to feel comfortable underwater. After two dives we had seen sharks, turtles and all kinds of other sea life. Great teacher, great guy and a great guide service! Incredible experience!

My wife and I were both first time scuba divers and chose Banyan Tree Divers based on some of the reviews. Kevin was INCREDIBLE. It was clear that he knows exactly how to handle new divers and all the nerves that come with it (because there is a lot to take in all at once). But Kevin stayed on top of both of us the entire journey, making sure we were always ok, while also guiding us through the amazing reefs and taking plenty of pictures. Swimming around with the sea turtles was breathtaking, and Banyan Tree Divers makes it a fantastic and smooth experience from start to finish.

My wife and I booked our first ever dives with Banyan Tree Divers, and the experience was great! We were both pretty nervous at first. Our instructor was Kevin, and his upbeat demeanor helped calm my nerves. I could tell he really enjoyed diving and teaching others by how much fun he was having when getting us ready for our dives. There were 2 others in our group, and he made sure each of us had the attention we needed as we went into the ocean. I liked my experience so much that I went on another dive with Kevin right after the first! This was my favorite activity during our week-long Maui trip. Would recommend!

Aloha, Thank you for sharing your experience diving with Kevin and Banyan Tree Divers! We appreciate your recommendation to others and are so glad that diving was the highlight activity of your Maui visit. Being nervous before your first dive is natural and it is really important that we as instructors help ease fears and move slowly. It's great to read that this was a success for you. Thanks again and we hope to see you back on Maui in the future.
