Learn scuba basics with an instructor, then explore Maui’s coral reef and look for tropical fish, turtles, and rays on a beginner-friendly dive.

About this tour

Discover the underwater world with a Maui introductory scuba diving lesson designed for beginners. No certification is needed to take your first breaths underwater and explore the island’s coastal reef with an instructor by your side.

Start with an introduction to scuba basics, then get fitted with the required equipment and practice before heading into the water. On the guided dive, move through clear coastal waters and look for coral, tropical fish, green sea turtles, and rays. A group capped at four allows for personal attention as you learn at a comfortable pace. The lesson may count toward scuba certification, but certification is not included.

Before your visit, submit the medical waiver and complete the online lesson if provided. Share participant names, heights, weights, and US men's shoe sizes so the equipment can be prepared. The Lahaina dive shop was destroyed by wildfires, so confirm the current meeting location with the provider the day before. Plan to wait at least 18 hours after diving before flying; one provider recommends 24 hours. Book your Maui introductory scuba diving lesson and experience the reef from below the surface.

How the score works and rating distribution in Maui
  • Each provider rating is turned into a percentile: the share of that provider's ratings it beats, weighted by review counts.
  • Listings on different providers are combined in proportion to their review counts.
  • Tours with few reviews are pulled toward the average until more reviews come in, so a handful of perfect reviews can't top the list.
  • The result is shown from 0 to 10: this tour scores 7.4. Top 46% in Maui means it ranks in the top 46% of tours in Maui by this score.
