Our family had an amazing time! This was our first dive and my husband didn't think he could dive because of his ears and Kevin very cautiously and safely got him down to around 30'. We all loved it so much we sent the guys back out for a second dive. We would absolutely join Kevin again on more dives. We all now want to get certified!

Aloha, Thank you for taking the time to share your experience diving with Banyan Tree Divers! We are so glad that you had a good time diving with Kevin and that your husband was able to clear his ears. Going slow and safe is the key and it's great it was successful. It is music to our ears that everyone wants to get certified! Getting people excited about scuba diving is why we love our jobs. Thank you so much for coming out with us and we hope to dive with you again soon!

What a wonderful experience, company, and instructor (we had Abby)! My wife and I really wanted to go scuba diving but neither of us are very proficient at it, so we were both kind of nervous. We both took lessons years ago and haven't done it since. We scheduled a dive and met Abby at Airport Beach. Abby was awesome and so personable. She took her time and very clearly explained to us all of the safety functions of the equipment that when we finally got into the water my wife and I felt incredibly comfortable with everything. Our dive was 45 minutes and when we got out we enjoyed ourselves so much we went on another dive. Abby then took us to Mala (as Abby told us it was an old pier that was significantly damaged in a previous hurricane that has since become an artificial reef) Mala was incredible! There were so many turtles and even a few white tipped reef sharks. Both dives were amazing and Abby got so many great photos. I couldn't recommend a better dive company! We were both very pleased with everything and will certainly be coming back to Banyan Tree Divers on our next visit to Maui!

Aloha, Thank you for sharing your experience diving with Abby and Banyan Tree Divers! Nerves in the beginning are normal and we are glad to read that Abby was able to provide a calm and fun experience for you and your wife. Mala is definitely a great site to visit and how awesome that you got some shark sightings! Happy diving and please come back and visit us soon!

Wowza! My experience today was everything you could hope for. So my husband really wanted to go diving, he learned in college and wanted to dive in Hawaii. I have gone diving about 2x in Hawaii before and still never fully felt comfortable with diving. I also never had an amazing experience in the locations that I dived in before. UNTIL TODAY! Our instructor was Abby and I swear that having her made ALL the difference. She was so clear and calm and listened to all my crazy anxieties and did everything possible to reassure me and make me feel completely comfortable. She new her stuff! She was also just a straight up pleasure to be around. The dive itself was outstanding!!! So much to see, and she really made sure we saw things and took great photos for us. I also learned so much more as far as conservation for marine life and Hawaii. Iā€™m just beyond pleased with the whole experience and will definitely be diving with Banyan Tree again!!!
