    Awesome thanks

    My brother and I were doing Maui for the first time. We have both been certified instructors for years and wanted a guide for our first dive. We were blessed to have Sara(not certain of spelling) as our guide. She was amazing, extremely helpful, knowledgeable, friendly, and patient. We met her husband who chatted us up a little. He was there for the next dive. Sara knew all the spots to find various sea life for us to enjoy. Very nice dives.

    Response from the operator: Aloha Qulier, We are SO happy to hear that you and your brother had a great time with Sarah. She is truly an amazing instructor; and was able to show you the Eagle Rays, Honu and nudibranches! Chris is pretty cool too. Much better diving on Maui than Lake Pleasant huh?

    Turtles, Eels, Eagle rays and Whales!

    Did the Avelo certification course with Sarah and she was a most knowledgeable and kind instructor. Would recommend trying this easier form of diving! Also took a 2-tank shore guided dive with my wife. Deborah (Owner) made it fun and was very helpful getting us all prepped and exiting the water. We are older divers and she took our fins and helped us up the beach! This is a great outfit for shore diving Maui!

    Response from the operator: Aloha and Mahalo! We agree, the Avelo system is a great way to go scuba diving. It's also exciting that you were able to dive with both Sarah AND Deborah (a special treat). Mahalo for diving with us, we look forward to doing it again next time!

    Certified Divers! Explore Maui SCUBA sites in Ka'anapali & more!: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Maui.

    How much does Certified Divers! Explore Maui SCUBA sites in Ka'anapali & more! cost?

    +

    Prices start at $169 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Maui usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Certified Divers! Explore Maui SCUBA sites in Ka'anapali & more! take?

    +

    Plan for about 1 hour from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Maui is not rushed.

    Is Certified Divers! Explore Maui SCUBA sites in Ka'anapali & more! worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 59 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 15 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Maui, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Certified Divers! Explore Maui SCUBA sites in Ka'anapali & more!?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Certified Divers! Explore Maui SCUBA sites in Ka'anapali & more! suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 1-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Certified Divers! Explore Maui SCUBA sites in Ka'anapali & more!?

    +

    Around 5 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Maui can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Maui and add a light layer if any part of the 1-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Certified Divers! Explore Maui SCUBA sites in Ka'anapali & more! start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Maui within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Maui?

    +

    Maui's three signature days are the Hana road, the Haleakala summit sunrise and the Molokini snorkel sail, and all three are logistics problems as much as experiences. Sunrise summit entry is permit-controlled, Hana is a ten-hour driving day, and Molokini boats vary wildly in size. Our ranking rewards operators who handle permits and keep boat capacity low. On Outty we rank every Maui experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Molokini Crater + South Maui Coast Adventure from Kihei, Maui, West Maui Snorkeling Experience by Boat from Ka'anapali, Maui Eco-Raft Tour: Eye-Level Whale or Dolphin Watching - Lahaina. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Maui?

    +

    April to May and September to October. Whale season runs December to April. Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Maui?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.

    What is included in Certified Divers! Explore Maui SCUBA sites in Ka'anapali & more!?

    +

    Included: Use of SCUBA equipment; and Government fees. Not included: Gratuities; and Private transportation. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Where is the meeting point for Certified Divers! Explore Maui SCUBA sites in Ka'anapali & more!?

If your last dive was over 2 yrs ago. Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.

    What languages is Certified Divers! Explore Maui SCUBA sites in Ka'anapali & more! offered in?

    +

    It runs in English. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.

    Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Certified Divers! Explore Maui SCUBA sites in Ka'anapali & more!?

    +

    Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.

    Is Certified Divers! Explore Maui SCUBA sites in Ka'anapali & more! wheelchair or stroller accessible?

    +

    The operator notes: Not recommended for pregnant travelers. If accessibility is critical, contact the operator after booking to confirm arrangements for your date.
