Summary: do the cathedrals dive with Dive Maui. Scott, Abby, and Justin are the best. - My fiance and I did the cathedrals dive two days ago and we loved the dive site and crew from Dive Maui. The crew, Scott, Abby, and Justin were professional, fun, and very informative. This was our first dive in Maui and even though it had been a little while since our last dive, we felt safe and that we were in good hands with them. The Cathedrals was a fantastic dive site and one you should definitely check out while diving here in Maui. On both dives we saw a two octopus, two white mouth eels, a huge moray eel (too focused on looking at it to snap a pic), and the most beautiful coral formations. We also saw a pod of spinner dolphins on our way to the cathedrals and followed them for a while which made for some great photos and videos. We liked them so much, that we are doing the pier turtle dive with them tomorrow. If you’re in Maui and love scuba, you should dive with them.

Such an amazing trip!... - Such an amazing trip! This is one of the best companies I’ve dove with. Brian was our leader and did a fantastic job with pointing out all the sea life and sights.

A tremendous, not-to-miss dive experience - In case you didn't know, Maui is OPEN and amazing! This was the last dive day of our week and it was absolutely the best. Brian, Scott and Joe provided the best service, storytelling, pre-dive breifing, and safe diving experience for my daughter and me. I had a leg injury and they made kitting up, entry and exit so easy - I didn't miss a bit of the dive experience. Joe slowed the boat so we could see a humpback whale breaching on the crossing to Lanai. Once there, he closed again so we could see a huge pod of spinner dolphins swim by. Once at the dive site, they didn't waste a minute of our time. We suited up, they made sure we did our buddy checks correctly, and in we went. Two dives, each 58 minutes in length. The Cathedrals must be a bucket list dive. I've never seen anything underwater as stunning as that lava formation with light streaming into it. It was magic!! I'm a beginning diver - 20 dives with an Advanced cert. My daughter has 14 dives with an Open Water cert. These dives were within our grasp. I absolutely recommend this dive and the Dive Maui team. I can't thank you all enough for all of your help and guidance!!

Highly recommended - Dive Maui - Maui was open and welcoming after the tragic fire in Lahaina. Everyone I encountered seemed appreciative of the respectful tourism. We dove Mala pier with Dive Maui jist before the fire and it was absolutely incredible. We chose Dive Maui again this year since we were happy with them on our last trip. I was impressed with Dive Masters Scott & Brian, and Captain Joe on our recent Lanai cathedrals dive. They were all both personable and knowledgeable which is what I enjoy when I am on vacation. Thanks Guys!

Awesome half day of diving - Had an absolute blast diving with Abbi, Brian, and boat captain Chris! I am a fairly inexperienced diver and I felt safe and supported the whole time. The First Cathedrals dive was an absolutely incredible experience. Lunch was wraps and chips (vegetarian option available) and that was great too. Can’t wait to dive with them again.

Still the best local shop, hands down! - The last dive shop standing in Lahaina (as of Dec 2024) and man do they deliver a spectacular experience! Still the best, and they’ve definitely earned all their 5 star reviews!! We dove the cathedrals off of Lanai, and everyone from Chris the boat captain to Abbi & Brian, our dive instructors, were fantastic. Saw spinner dolphins, rare fish & and endangered hawksbill turtle, and jaw dropping sea life! And cathedral 1 is a can’t miss spot. I was worried about getting sick on the boat, as we don’t do as well with pontoon sides generally, but it was stable and smooth as a dream, despite some light swells as we left the harbor! No sea sickness, easy gear change over, and I got to geek out about fish and invertebrates with Abbi (who I swear is a fish whisperer). Support local! These guys are the real deal. 10/10 would do again and would bring family & friends

Lanai Cathedrals are amazing! - We did two dives off the shore of Lanai. Our guide, Brian, was professional and helped us have the best possible experience. This was our first boat dive but they were thorough and explained fully what we needed to do. He gave us a ton of info and signs of what wildlife to look out for. He showed us incredible perspectives of the Lanai cathedrals and was understanding and so helpful. Our captain, Jack, was hilarious and a fantastic driver. The water was rough the day we went but he handled the boat well and minimized the waves for us. Both tanks were full and clean and our equipment was in excellent shape. Overall, fantastic experience.

Very disappointed - I got a last minute call from the dive shop that I was booked on a wait list and there were no spaces left. I was never told I was booked on a waiting list I actually got a verification from Viator. I feel this was miss leading by Viator and left me with no time to book another dive
