Explore Maui’s coastal reefs on a guided certified shore dive, with scuba gear provided and chances to spot turtles, octopuses, and coral.
About this tour
Discover Maui’s underwater world on a certified shore dive along the island’s coast. With a professional guide, explore shallow reefs where green sea turtles glide past living coral, octopuses hide among the rocks, and colorful nudibranchs add flashes of color. Your guide can also share knowledge of local marine life and ecology, bringing context to what you encounter beneath the surface.
The 135-minute experience includes scuba equipment, a tank, weights, belt, mask, fins, and water. Dive location options are available, though the exact meeting point is sent the day before, so keep your contact number active and check for a message. Certified divers must provide proof of certification and complete an online waiver before participating. A moderate level of fitness is recommended, and the minimum age is 12.
Plan your travel carefully: wait at least 18 hours after diving before flying or taking a helicopter, and do not dive if you are flying later that day. Book your Maui certified shore diving experience and explore the reef with a knowledgeable local guide.

How this score is calculated
This score is based on one provider. Viator rates it 4.93 from 117 reviews. We place that rating among all Viator ratings and weight it by its review count. If the tour is found on another provider later, both ratings are combined.
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 8.4. Top 18% in Maui means it ranks in the top 18% of tours in Maui by this score.
