    My partner and I did 4 dives (Molokini Backwall, Red Hill, Molokini Crater, Turtle Town) in June with MDS and they were incredible all around. We were lucky enough to have 100+ ft visibility for each dive and some solid recommendations from the captain on the best (and safest) dive spots. The dive masters (John, Josh, Nick) were extremely thorough making sure everyone felt safe and Josh was even kind enough to tinker with my brand new dive computer to make sure I had the right settings. The entire crew was great and extremely friendly. The service was over the top from breakfast, lunch, snacks, towels, cold towels for your face and even someone offering to clean your sunglasses for you. It was above and beyond any other dive boat I've been on. Kudos to the crew at Maui Dive shop. We look forward to diving with you again soon!

    Fantastic experience. We are repeat customers. The staff and divers are extremely knowledgeable. They case so much about everyone's safety and experience. Love this dive shop! Will be back again and again.

    Had two great dives with Maui Dive Shop yesterday. The boat crew was awesome. Usually I can single out one or two crew members, but honestly the entire crew was great. Very attentive to the divers needs and safety oriented. Both dives , Molokini and Turtle Town, were a lot of fun. Saw plenty of turtles, an octopus, Morey eels, and plenty of topical fish. We also saw a huge Crow-of-thorns Starfish. Plenty of whales and dolphins on the trip to and from the dive sites. Will definitely dive with them again.

    When visiting from out of town, this is the place to rent or purchase your gear. Super friendly and amazing staff. Knowledgeable and reasonably priced gear. Check them out when in town. I stop here every year when we are on the island.

    This review is for Heather who was incredibly informative and helpful while my family and I were there last week. My family was visiting Maui for the week and we were looking to snorkel and do a shore dive. She was so honest and told us about the swells and visibility that day. She even went so far as to draw us a map of a dive spot that would be better suitable for the weather in the coming days. My family and I truly appreciated the time she spent explaining everything to us and being honest with how we wouldn't be seeing much, and currents would be too strong that day. We all ended up buying some merch, and we will definitely be paying them a visit the next time we're in Maui. Thank you Heather!

    Making sure we're safe.

I scheduled the class a few months in advance, and they even advertised it to recruit another student (after all, you can't rescue yourself!). I learned from the best--Kerri is a true expert in both diving and instruction. He is incredibly patient and explains concepts clearly. He took the time to answer all of our questions and really instilled the importance of dive safety--that anything can happen at any time, and you always need to stay aware, especially in and around the water. We practiced multiple real-life rescue scenarios in the water, which made the training feel practical and incredibly valuable. I learned so many important skills from Kerri--both ones I hope I never have to use and others that I will carry with me on every dive going forward. I look forward to diving with Kerri and the Maui Dreams crew the next time I'm on Maui!

Michael did a great job of going over what to expect. He did a great job during the dive as I originally struggled a bit, mostly due my long layoff from diving and the current.

We got to watch the sunrise while the scuba divers got ready. Capt Charlie was the over watch for us snorkelers and he gave us very clear instructions on where to go and how far away from the boat we were allowed to wander. Next stop was Turtle town, we only saw one turtle but still enjoyed an hour snorkeling around. The staff was great and the snorkeling was fun. We went back in to Scuba Shack a couple of times and every time they gave us great suggestions on places to eat that didn't disappoint.

However, if my Mom is going to go snorkeling, what would I look like backing out? We got our snorkel gear on, and I made my Dad jump in first to make sure there were no apex predators waiting to swoop the first thing that came off the boat. Once I saw him chilling there for about 30 seconds, I jumped in hella nonchalant. But when my 5'10.5 176 lb orangutan-like frame submerged in the water, I went straight into fight or flight. When you looked at the ocean floor below, you could see a submerged cliff that dropped straight down. All you could see was the vicious, unknown, and unforgiving deep blue. The most unsettling feeling I have ever had. What is down there? What is coming for me? I'm just floating here like a sitting duck? HELL NAH! I closed my eyes and made a beeline STRAIGHT for the shore about 40 yards away, where there were 30+ other tourists snorkeling peacefully. Once I made sure there were at least 5 other people a shark would take out first, my heart rate started to stabilize. I began to appreciate the bustling life in this crescent shaped volcanic crater that is a protected marine life conservation district. I saw 100s of fish that I didn't know existed. When the rest of my family and local Hawaiian tour guide, Bailey, caught up with us, I began PEPPERING him with questions. 'What fish is that? How about that one? Why is it named trigger fish? What's the coolest thing you've ever seen here? Does it get old doing the same tour over and over again?" Bro HAD to be so annoyed with me, but I just couldn't help it. He was so passionate, engaging, and knowledgeable. Shoutout to Bailey. My favorite fish I saw was this vibrant, multicolored fish that genuinely looked fake. It looked just like that Rainbow Fish from that book. I followed it around for 10 minutes, and asked Bailey what type of fish it was. "That's a Parrot Fish! It actually is one of the few fish that can change its gender as a part of its natural life cycle. They also eat algae off of rocks that smother and kill coral reefs, and then they poop fine sand which is a major reason for many tropical beaches." I asked if Parrot Fish tasted good and he said "OH YEAH... well they are a bit of an acquired taste, but I love them." Bro is an encyclopedia. I arrived at Molokini Island scared to death of the deep blue, and also left the same way, but with a good amount of knowledge on Parrot Fish. This is what life is all about...

I found the crew to be so-so and not 100% engaged in their work with exception of the snuba instructor. The Captain that day was particularly unfriendly and this is clearly a job to him, not passion. The breakfast was blah as was the lunch. I did appreciate the beer. They should have had bottled water and soda cans which would have fared better on the boat. One of the highlights was reeling in a 6 foot, 20# ono which completely delighted my daughters. Biggest downside- they didn't let us take our own pictures preferring their photographer to do it. The cost for pictures was completely ridiculous. The grumpy captain clearly did not want to share the fish stating that it would be at least an hour before fillet and dividing it up amongst the crew. I chose not to let the crew and the photography to sour the experience. What a joy it was to share the experience of swimming with the fish with my daughters.
