Great company and Great dive instructor.
Chris was a excellent trainer. He was very patient and lots of fun. Unfortunately no doing of his I had a panic attack and couldn't go through with the dive. He was very thorough and very understanding. Great guy I just couldn't do it.
Response from the operator: Mahalo for your kind words Gloria! It's so great to hear that even though scuba wasn't for you that day, you still enjoyed your experience with Chris and Aloha Maui Diving. These classes are designed to try something new and that can certainly be overwhelming sometimes. Hopefully you will still have fond memories and maybe come back and try another time.

Our dive instructor Chris...
Our dive instructor Chris was fantastic. He spent enough time with us going over the instructions and hand signals to make us comfortable. In the water, he walked us through all the required skills and then we were off. We were swimming with turtles and schools of fish. Chris boosted my son’s confidence in the water that by the end of our dive, he said he wanted to get his open water certification. This was the capstone of our vacay! Thank you Chris!!
Response from the operator: Aloha Michael, we're honored to have introduced your son to the wonders of Maui scuba diving!! Mahalo for your wonderful review and trusting us with your scuba experience. Chris is awesome and we're lucky to have him in our dive 'ohana! Come back and see us soon, the honu (green turtles) will be waiting!

If you’re nervous, this trip is the way to go.
Chris was laid back, extremely knowledgeable, and just put everyone at ease. It was my kids first time and they were nervous enough to back out, but Chris was fun and just had a way of easing the tension. We ended up having a great time and made memories we’ll never forget.
Response from the operator: Aloha! So glad we got to ease you and your keiki (kids) into the water!! Happy to hear we helped you make awesome scuba memories and hope to see you all back soon.

Why this scores 66
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Scuba Diving in Maui with No Experience Needed: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Maui.
How much does Scuba Diving in Maui with No Experience Needed cost?
+
Prices start at $199 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 Scuba Diving in Maui with No Experience Needed 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 Scuba Diving in Maui with No Experience Needed worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 66 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 74 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 Scuba Diving in Maui with No Experience Needed?
+
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 Scuba Diving in Maui with No Experience Needed 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 Scuba Diving in Maui with No Experience Needed?
+
Around 26 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 Scuba Diving in Maui with No Experience Needed 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, Maui: VIP Private Road to Hana Tour with Pick Up, West Maui Snorkeling Experience by Boat from Ka'anapali. 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.
