Michael was great and very attentive. He was very patient and great with me and my husband. Definitely recommend if on Maui it was worth the trip. We did 2 dives unfortunate no turtles but still had a blast.

Aloha, thank you for sharing your experience diving with Michael! We are glad that you felt well taken care of. That's unfortunate that over two dives you didn't get to see any turtles but it's lovely to know that you still had fun. We hope you keep diving!

What an experience! Michael was an absolute amazing instructor! He talked through everything and educated us on it all. Definitely recommend going for the second dive if you enjoy the first one; what a surreal experience that everyone should try. Itā€™s a whole different world under the water that you just canā€™t capture snorkeling above it!

Aloha, thank you for sharing your experience diving with Michael and Banyan Tree Divers! We are glad that you decided to do the second dive and that you enjoyed the experience thoroughly. We agree that scuba diving allows you to see and capture many things you might miss while snorkeling. We hope you keep diving and please come see us again if you make it back to Maui!

Abby was the perfect instructor. She made us very comfortable and was very clear with all of her directions. We saw so many TURTLES!!! and a reef shark. Absolutely the highlight of our trip. I am a recent breast cancer survivor and struggled with the weight of the tank and getting out of the water. She was so awesome and floated my tank in and out for me so I could participate on the second dive. Mahalo!
