Scuba Dive Information

Blessed with abundant marine life, healthy coral reefs and dramatic topography, West Maui is an ideal destination for divers of all experience levels. For those who are not yet certified divers, these protected, calm waters provide a perfect environment for Island Scuba's Introductory S.N.U.B.A. or SCUBA diving experiences. These programs are also a great choice if your group includes both certified divers and beginners who wish to dive together. Or, if you've already done the academic and confined water portions of a certification course, we also offer a great opportunity to complete your OPEN WATER TRAINING. And, while we specialize in underwater activities, we also offer snorkeling for those who prefer to remain on the surface.

Night dives along the West Maui coast give certified divers the opportunity to see nocturnal reef inhabitants hunting, feeding or resting. Look carefully and you'll also see sleeping daytime reef animals.

Dive Molokini
Among the most popular and scenic of Hawaii's dive locales, Molokini is actually several different sites, all within easy swimming distance of our mooring. In the protected shallows of the extinct volcano, you'll see extensive coral gardens, curious octopi, and swarms of colorful reef fish. Other highlights include stingrays, dragon morays, and white-tip reef sharks. On the outside of the cone you'll find plunging drop-offs with the best visibility in the entire state-often exceeding 100 feet. This coral-encrusted wall is a natural magnet for big animals, often attracting great barracudas, eagle rays, and occasionally even mantas and whale sharks.

Scuba Dive Lana'i
Widely acclaimed as one of Hawaii's most spectacular dive areas, the south and west coasts of Lana'i offer over 25 recognized dive sites, each with its own special attractions. The unique underwater scenery includes intriguing lava tubes, unusual coral formations, inviting archways and lofty pinnacles rising from the sea floor. This area is also home to a wide variety of marine life, including schooling butterflyfish, friendly turtles, and Hawaii's official state fish, the "Humuhumunukunukuapuaa". Perhaps the most unforgettable sight of all is at the Cathedrals, where sparkling shafts of light stream through openings in the ceiling of the lava domes. With such a wealth of excellent dive sites, it is impossible to see it adequately in any single trip. To really experience the best of Lana'i, we suggest you join us for several two-tank trips, which are offered every few days.

With over 25 scuba dive sites to choose from, no single scuba dive trip can begin to scratch the surface of what Lana'i offers scuba divers. Island Scuba offers several two tank Lana'i trips for certified scuba divers each week. To fully experience everything Lana'i offers, we recommend you take advantage of at least two such trips every time you visit Hawaii.
