If you're looking for a great time with some awesome people, look no further. Caitlin and Kevin go above and beyond to make your dive experience one of a kind. This was my second time diving with Banyan Tree Divers and I am already looking forward to my next dive with them when back on Maui. We saw countless sea turtles, schools of tropical fish, and even an octopus! Along with all the fun, we felt very safe and looked after the entirety of the dive & the quality of their dive equipment is great--something you won't find with the bigger dive companies. This is truly the BEST outdoor activity you can find in Maui!

My wife and I booked for late November. The water and visibility were outstanding. We saw numerous turtles up close on our second dive. My wife was unsure about making the second dive because she was uncomfortable keeping here buoyancy on the first, but Kevin's positive attitude and encouragement helped her make the second dive and she ended up loving it. Kevin and Caitlin were so full of positive vibes it was infectious. They also bent over backwards helping us with my boneheaded move of locking my keys in a rental car trunk. Book with them. Trust me, you will love the vibe!

Aloha, Thank you for taking the time to share your experience diving with Banyan Tree Divers! One of our favorite things to do is turn nerves into enjoyment. We are so glad that you both stuck with the second dive to round out a great morning of diving. Glad you were able to get your keys sorted! We hope to welcome you both back to Maui in the future. Happy diving!

This was an amazing experience all the way around. Caitlin expertly guided us through one of the best beach dive sites in Maui (6 minutes away from the hotels in Kaanapali). She was super patient, incredibly knowledgeable and friendly with us all the way around. You could tell she really enjoys her job. We ended up seeing beautiful fauna and flora throughout our dive, including a sea turtle towards the end. After the dive, I was a bit dehydrated and exhausted (totally my bad on that one). Caitlin was good enough to get me some water from one of her own bottles and a berry bar, which fixed me right up! Talk about going above and beyond the call of duty. I'm definitely going back to these guys for my next dive. I might even sign up for another one in a couple of days, because I liked it so much.
