South Maui Guided Shore Dive – 1 or 2 Tanks

Step Off the Beach & Discover South Maui’s Underwater World!

Wade in from a sandy South Maui beach, drop below the surface, and within minutes you're gliding over coral reefs where Hawaiian green sea turtles rest on ledges and schools of tropical fish drift past. With no boat ride and no rush, these guided shore dives are all about relaxed, unhurried time on some of the best reefs in South Maui.

Your guide picks the dive site each morning based on current ocean conditions, then walks you through a full site briefing before you enter the water. Underwater, they'll lead the way along the reef and point out the details that are easy to miss on your own — rays gliding across the sand, eels tucked into the coral, and fish species found nowhere else but Hawaii. Choose a one-tank dive for a quick morning outing, or go for two tanks to double your bottom time and get another look at Maui's underwater world.

All of your scuba gear is included, so you can travel light and simply show up ready to dive. With small groups and plenty of personal attention, it's a comfortable way to get acquainted with Maui's waters, refresh your local weighting, and spend your morning exploring the reef with someone who knows it well.
