Michael and NeverDry are simply the best dive master / dive shop on Maui. We've dived with Michael…read moremany times and he certified my tween/teen children which was no easy feat. He is calm, patient, knowledgeable and safety minded. We always have a great time diving and we see so many amazing things. He takes high quality pictures and videos and there's even snacks and drinks for the weary post-dive. Highly recommend Michael and NeverDry Divers!

This review is long overdue, as I don't normally do my part on here as much as I should in writing…read morereviews. I have been diving with Michael at NeverDry periodically for almost 10 years now. I have done dives with him all over the island of Maui, and in addition to our friendly banter with each other, he has proven himself time and again over the years to be one of the most knowledgeable, experienced, and fun guides to dive with I have found in all of the islands. I sincerely trust my safety and well-being with Michael, so much so that I had my significant other certified with him for both her beginner and advanced as well. An accomplishment I am sure would have been much more difficult for her had it not been for Michael's, patient and calming approach to diving. I would recommend NeverDry to anyone looking for a unique and personalized dive experience.

Wing Foil Lessons with HST: Private Beginner Lesson (five days in a row in early March)…read more Pro: Expert 1:1 instruction (Art is a super patient/friendly water man who eventually got me pumping and completing full foil runs upwind). His teaching was on the beach and doing demos in the middle of the harbor sailing next to me. Choice of up to date wings/boards/foils immediately available on the beach for swapping. Scenic Maui Harbor teaching location has totally flat water/consistent strong wind (20-35 mph)/world class wing foil sailors practicing tricks/cute sea turtles/no current/no navigation hazards Student foils downwind, and instructor carries or efficiently foils the board back up the beach (repeat) Safety first (helmets/impact vests provided, many warnings to not go too far downwind or hit the beach at speed) Con: Sadly, you have to go home eventually. I scraped up my knees and shins the first day touching the foil and sailing too long on the sandy deck with one leg down and one leg up. At Art's suggestion, I bought a farmer john wet suit at Second Wind for $100 and used it for the next four days with no more abrasions at all. I went to Maui specifically to learn to wing foil with HST, and I was completely satisfied. Every day, I made major incremental progress, and on the last day was foiling in steady 20 - 35 mph wind on a 4.0 Meter sail. I am certain I have the skills to safely make it back to my launch point when I sail at my home location in San Francisco Bay. Even though I am an experienced high-wind windsurfer, I never would have figured this sport out without Art's immediate in person feedback/corrections. I did months of rowing machine fitness training for this trip, and that really paid off. Watching you tube videos was quite useless it turned out since I could not execute in real life any of the skills I had been viewing.

This was a lifetime dream and a wonderful experience for all. Our grandkids had Cody, Levi, and…read moreConnor as their private instructors and they were phenomenal and even when one of our grandchildren got hurt on the reef and didn't wanna surf anymore, Cody sat with him and just stayed by him and encouraged him and told him he did a great job because he did actually get up three times. Randy was a group instructor for the adults and he was great too, encouraging and talking to them about how the waves were. Highly recommend Tyler's group for surf instruction!

Unfortunately I would not recommend this shack purely for equipment rental…read more The price for a 24-hour rental is over $100 which is an INSANE price. They also gave me a super shabby board with the rims and paint peeling off. I forgot to take a picture but it was so bad some dude out on the beach a good laugh with us because of how bad it looked. It was usable but not ideal. Staff was nice though! The lessons seemed well-instructed and had better equipment from what I could see. :")

Outstanding! We rented two skimboards for kids who have never skimmed before. Sean dropped off the…read moreboards at our place and made sure the kids knew how to use and take care of the gear.

This was the second time I have visited Kaanapali and the second (and third) time diving with Tim…read moreand Tiny Bubbles Scuba. My wife and I dove with him and two other gentlemen at Airport beach for a morning dive and Tim, as always, was extremely professional and courteous. He is very calm and ensures everyone is comfortable prior to diving and provides many tips and tricks both above and below the water. In fact, I have been using his secret de-fog formula since first diving with him in 2016, it is the best stuff ever and cheap and easy to make. Later in the week on this trip, I decided to take Tim up on an offer for a night dive in Kaanapali. This dive ranks as my favorite dive ever! We saw so much and Tim was an excellent guide as we navigated the darkness and was sure to point out every cool thing he saw underwater. I already knew Tim was an exceptional person, let alone a great scuba guide, but what really set him apart is how he treated my family prior to the night dive. My daughter is just shy of 10 and was very upset that she couldn't go as she wants to get certified too. Tim took the time to explain to her the process or getting certified and how he can't wait until we can all dive together. There is a very personal relationship when you dive with Tim, it's not all just business.

Another great day of diving with Tim and Tiny Bubbles. He is the perfect mix of relaxed, funny, and…read moretotally safety conscious. A great instructor, even when you aren't "in a class" you are still learning with him. Our teenage boys live diving with him. We will certainly be back next time we are here.

Maui Surf Clinics and Chad were incredible. My husband and daughter had a blast and both got up…read morealmost right away. Chad was a really great teacher and taught them a lot with pointers after each wave. My daughter has fallen in love with surfing and can't wait to do it again. Dad was exhausted and super glad he did it, but it sure helps when you're in better shape. ;) None the less, Chad made it doable for him! The lady at check in was lovely and super helpful and the pics we paid for were incredible! (Get the pics - worth it!) My daughter took a second lesson two days later with a different school on Kaanapali Beach... a sad experience and no where near as good as MSC. We'll be back for a multiple day surf clinic next time, hopefully with Chad! Highly recommend!
