Chris was laid back, extremely knowledgeable, and just put everyone at ease. It was my kids first time and they were nervous enough to back out, but Chris was fun and just had a way of easing the tension. We ended up having a great time and made memories we’ll never forget.

10/10 experience! I had an amazing time and Chris was a great instructor. He was very patient, funny, and overall a great person. Chris walked us through every step and made sure everyone was confident. The gear provided was also great, it all looked and felt brand new. I think this is a cheap price for the experience. I loved the experience so much I even went for a second dive. My only regret was not starting my PADI cert sooner so I could’ve done my dives with Chris.
This sounds like it was an epic bucket list experience for you Joey and we are so excited that Chris and Aloha Maui Diving could be a part of it.

Sarah was a great instructor. I'm an average swimmer and I had never tried scuba diving before this. Sarah spent a good hour going through the basics and teaching us how to use the equipment. We then did a shore dive and saw some amazing corals and fish right off the shore. Would highly recommend for any beginner who is curious about diving.

We had Chris as our instructor and Brian for photography, we had a blast with them both! Chris was extremely clear with instructions and safety before getting into the water. My partner has no previous diving experience and Chris was extra attentive with him to make sure everything went smoothly and we were lucky enough to see a turtle up close! There was also tons of beautiful fish and coral life to view. So a fun experience! Highly recommend diving with Chris and hopefully we can come back and dive with him again.
Aloha Jess! We had an awesome time diving with you and Ethan as well and hope to see you again soon. You both did an amazing job diving. The honu (green turtles) will be waiting!

Thai experience is a MUST if you are a confident swimmer and not scared of the ocean! Chris, Sarah, and Deborah were all so amazing we actually ended up booking a second private dive to experience it again! Both Chris and Sarah were amazing to be in the water with and pointed out/showed us rays, octopus, eels, and green turtles. Just existing under water with all the creatures was top tier.
Mahalo Katelyn and Kalyn! You guys were so fun to be around and we are excited to hear the underwater world has captivated you too.

Sarah was a fantastic instructor who catered to all my family’s nervousness about scuba diving. A great experience was had by all and one we will never forget as a family

Absolutely amazing experience. We went with our two boys (ages 10 and 12) and Sarah did a great job explaining everything to them and was very patient with all of us. It is a perfect introduction to scuba diving and we are excited to do it again!
Aloha Melissa! Mahalo for your kind words. Diving with beginners (especially 10 and 12 year old's) is so exciting for us. We absolutely love introducing the underwater world.

What an amazing experience! Deborah was AMAZING! She pays attention to the little details and knew by me wearing a hoodie I get cold easily. She gave me a second wetsuit too to put on to stay warm. She explained everything you need to be safe and have a terrific time! You go through the PADI beginner course on land then repeat in the water THEN when everyone’s comfortable we take off and dive! Deborah was right by us the entire time! We had a blast! She showed us some crazy cool marine life and she even noticed I was cold somehow and took us up a little early since I was pretty cold. She was sooo nice! Very detail oriented. If you’re at all worried don’t be! Deborah will keep you completely safe while having so much fun! Don’t go with any other dive company. These guys are the best!
Mahalo Kira! We appreciate the kind words (we agree, Deborah is the best!). We had a great time diving with you, and look forward to doing it again the next time you are on Maui.

Sarah is an amazing instructor! She is uper friendly and personable, but also imparts the seriousness of the activity and a dedication to making sure we understood all the basics. She's very patient and understanding, very astute in seeing what you are and are not getting, and very thorough in providing you all you need to know to complete a scuba dive. I would definitely sign up for another dive and hope to get back and do that in the future. Thanks for a great and fun dive Aloha Maui Diving! See you next time!

We took the intro to diving class and was not disappointed! We included our 10yr old grandson and he loved it! A big reason was our instructor Debra. She did a fantastic job teaching us the basics and was very attentive to everyone under water, especially the 10 yr old! We felt safe the whole time! We loved the first dive so much we went back out for a second tank dive where we saw lots of fish up close and even a turtle cleaning station with 9 turtles!! We highly recommend Aloha Maui Diving with a shout out to Debra! What an experience!
