Nice!
The dive was indescribably beautiful. There were lots of turtles to see, even up close. Simply impressive. The group was small and you felt special.

Perfect Dive Spot
Wonderful experience with Shane as our instructor. This was my first ocean dive and this dive set the bar pretty high. Many sea turtles and white tip reef sharks. We even saw a black seahorse!

Wow, amazing dive in Maui!!
Amazing dive experience with Simon and Banyan Tree Divers! Highly recommend anyone who wants a great experience with fantastic guide to book with Banyan Tree. Dive was with myself and 2 adult kids and was a private trip! Great marine life and coral.

Awesome with families; highly recommended
A huge shout out to Kevin at Banyan Tree Divers! My family of four had an unforgettable experience becoming open water PADI certified under his guidance. Kevin's accommodating and encouraging nature, combined with his passion for teaching, made him an outstanding instructor. He inspired confidence in us every step of the way, which made a big impact on my 10 yo who was pretty nervous about the whole thing. Whether you're new to diving or already certified and looking for a knowledgeable local guide, I can't recommend Kevin enough if you're in the Lahaina area.
Operator response
Aloha, thank you for taking the time to share your experience completing your PADI open water course with Kevin! It is so important that your dive instructor gives students confidence and encouragement during the learning process. We are so glad that you all felt this from him. We appreciate your kind words immensely and hope to welcome you back to Maui in the future!

Highly recommend Banyan Tree!
We are repeat divers with Banyan Tree Divers, having first done the introduction to scuba diving years ago, then working with Banyan Tree for our certification dives a few years ago, and now returning again as certified divers for a private 2-tank dive with Caitlin. It was a great trip. She took the time to answer some refresher questions regarding diving as it had been 2 years since our last dives. That was super helpful and helped us get off to a solid start. We visited two locations that were absolutely awesome. The sea life was great — turtles, fish including an amazingly large puffer fish, eels, etc. We even saw a slumbering reef shark. All in all, it was a great day. We’ll be back to see Banyan Tree Divers again!

Amazing Dive!
Caitlin was a pro and made me feel safe and comfortable doing something I’ve never done before. Here teaching skills were amazing and all in all it was one of the best experiences I’ve had in Maui. Highly recommend this company!

Great experience!!!
Can’t say enough great things about our whole experience! From booking with Kevin to the extreme patience of our instructor Micheal. We had 2 spectacular dives. Take it from someone who swore off diving several years ago- these guys will make it an enjoyable experience no matter how much or little experience you have.
Operator response
Aloha, thank you for sharing your experience diving with Michael! We are glad that we were able to set you up with him and that your enjoyment in scuba diving has been renewed! We appreciate your kind words and hope you keep diving.
