Small-Group Shark and Turtle Dive for Certified Divers

Description

You enter the water and, after a short surface swim, descend on a condemned pier that has transformed into a vibrant reef. Schools of fish surround the wreckage that has accumulated colorful corals and sponges. Turtles swim all around in organized chaos as you search for camouflaged frogfish, making it hard to decide where to look. You follow your instructor as they lead you through the obstacle course of the wreck, swimming under and through the old dock where you spot a pregnant reef shark resting under a section of cement and pause to admire her beauty. As you make your way back to your starting point you focus on the multitude of turtles that gracefully soar through the clear water.

Surpassed or expectations

This trip was amazing. Matt showed us everything we wanted to see, included a shark, so many turtles and fish and a crazy looking frog fish. Highly recommend this trip and our guide Matt.

Great Relaxing Beautiful Dive

Had a great experience with Dive Maui! Sean, our guide took excellent care of us, was very safety conscious and attentive to all our needs. This was probably the most relaxed dive I have been on. We were able to just leisurely explore the pier reef and see what it had to offer. We saw rock fish, turtles, many kinds of fish and the rest of the group saw sharks (I missed them somehow). Would highly recommend diving with Dive Maui and with Sean. Excellent experience.

A fun dive in Maui

Fantastic experience. We saw lots of turtles, fish, etc. It’s a great dive site, and I plan on diving this site again if I come back to Maui. Sean was a great guide, and it was a nice refresher dive. My only regret was that I didn’t bring my go pro or rent one. The turtles were very photogenic with one swimming right next to me.

Professional dive shop with an emphasis on safety and fun!

We were not current so they recommended doing the shark and turtle dive as a refresher before we dove the cathedrals ! Love the safety regulations and twist my arm…. A shark and turtle dive??? It sounded great but I was not prepared for Mala wharf! It was magical! You’re told you will see turtles, but the sheer number feels like a dream! Our dive trip to Lana’i was lovely. We dove the Dual Arches, saw my first sea bunny and had fun with the swim throughs. Unfortunately conditions for entering the cathedrals were not favourable so they discounted our dive… I guess we will have to come back! As a bonus we saw a pod of spinner dolphins on the way back to Maui! This shops is professional! You’ll be in good hands!

Amazing Dive Experience with Matt!

Matt was an amazing dive guide! He’s super professional and attentive throughout the entire dive. He made sure we always stayed together and felt safe, while also guiding us to some truly beautiful underwater views. We had such a great experience thanks to him. Highly recommend!

Excellent diving with this company - shout out to Matt

I had a fantastic group dive with Matt. Matt was professional, detail oriented, and fun. I have not dived in a few years and I felt very comfortable working with Matt. The dive was flawless and there was some fun sights to see including sharks and sea turtles. I enjoyed the diving so much I am returning tomorrow for another excursion.

Sharks & turtles it is!

My husband and I are big scuba divers and the past few trips we have taken were somewhat disappointing. This was by far one of the best! Matt, our guide was completely knowledgeable, safe and patient . He knew just where to go to find all the best wildlife and made this dive excellent!

Operator response

We are so pleased you enjoyed your dive with Matt & Dive Maui! Sounds like you guys had some great interactions underwater and an excellent dive. Mahalo for taking the time to leave this great review. We appreciate you and look forward to giving together again soon!
