My son and I were scuba certified in Monterey over a year ago and needed a refresher before our first warm water dive in Maui. Caitlin was an amazing instructor and guide, refreshed the equipment set up and checks and even did some brief in-water skills reviews which made us feel really comfortable for our two dives. She is very knowledgeable, fun and patient and I was super excited to see the amazing colors of the reefs, an eel, an octopus and loads of turtles! Plus we have a collection of wonderful photos to remember our great day. She planned our two dives perfectly and we are ready for our next scuba trip. We will definitely come back and dive with Banyan Tree again, and can't wait til then. Highly recommend their company!

Aloha, Thank you for taking the time to share your experience diving with Caitlin and Banyan Tree Divers! We are so glad to hear that you enjoyed your time in the water with a great array of sea life. Going through a Scuba Review is a good idea if there has been a break from diving and we are glad that you found the experience useful and a good confidence boost. We are happy to read that you enjoyed the photos as well! Happy diving and we very much look forward to welcoming you back to Maui for more diving in the future.

My 11 year old son and I did two dives with Caitlin. It was an amazing experienceand the instruction from Caitlin could not have been more personal and professional. Both of us were a bit nervous and she made us feel at ease through the entire day. This is a small husband and wife operation, not some churn out the activities for the tourist type excursion. When my son had trouble coming in to the shore w/ some decent shore break she pulled him back in twice to teach him the right way to exit the water. It probably didn't even phase Caitlin but to me it was like watching a coach that really cared about the skills the student would take away from the experience. I can't say enough good things about Banyan Tree Divers.

Aloha, Thank you for taking the time to share your experience diving with Banyan Tree Divers! You both did amazingly well in slightly more challenging conditions. We take a lot of pride in keeping our dive experiences small and personal. It is great to read that you appreciate this kind of experience. Getting out of the water in shore break can be a bit of a challenge sometimes. It's counterintuitive to go back into the water because you want to get away from it! Your son stayed calm and stuck by his instructor the whole time. He's a rock star! We hope we get to dive with you again in the future.

It was a wonderful scuba dive, he was very professional, and had a great way of teaching you how to dive without any issues. We saw many wildlife and even a turtle. He is also very attentive and helpful even in groups. He is definitely the person you want guiding you on a scuba adventure.
