Traveler reviews
The experience
You arrive at one of the dive sites in South Maui's Wailea or Makena area as a certified diver ready to go under. The guide runs through a safety briefing on shore, then you enter the water and descend into the reef. What you find down there (turtles moving slowly across the bottom, rays gliding past, sharks cruising the edges, eels tucked into crevices, and schools of tropical fish moving through the coral) depends on the day and the site, but the reef itself is the constant. The guide stays with you throughout, and all your equipment is provided.
The dive lasts roughly three hours from start to finish, including the briefing, the time in the water, and the surface interval. If you want a second dive at a different site, you can add one for a fee. Snacks and drinks are included. Photos of your dive are taken and given to you, so you have something beyond memory to take home.
