Landria Sheffey · December 05, 2023Sure, diving in Maui comes at a premium, but Maui Dive Shop - Maka Koa made it feel worth the investment! The whole crew was great. They went above and beyond, from breakfast before we hit the water to lunch afterwards.
Safety was clearly a top priority for these guys, with detailed briefings and top-notch equipment. I had my own gear, but the rental gear looked well maintained and they even gave everyone a backup dive computers. As an “experienced”-ish diver (90+ dives), I appreciated their professionalism and attention to detail. They even provided detailed dive profile cards, which was a total bonus.
Of course the actual dives at Molokini were great, wasn’t expecting anything less. Pretty chill dives and so many octopi. My guide, John, was great at spotting things.
And the best part? Refreshing cold towels (with a hint of lavender or mint) after the dives! Also, if you're staying in a south hotel, they even offer convenient pick-up which is a nice perk.
Seriously, these guys thought of everything! -
Dave Stewart · July 09, 2022Great experience! They were very accommodating even though we went to wrong spot and we’re running behind. 😬 they took ‘full service dive shop’ to another level… they cleaned my sunglasses pulling into the harbor.
They put us into appropriate skill level groups which was appreciated so we could see some cool stuff without all the silt being kicked up. Our guide, Nick, was very chill and found really cool stuff that was well hidden. Captain was very accommodating and I could tell he was on top of everything going on…. He brought us in smooth on a very windy day. All around good experience! -
Aaron Knoll · April 09, 2024Can't recommend this highly enough. We booked with Maui Dive Shop's Koa Kai snorkeling tour to Molokini for our easter trip to Hawaii. This was absolutely the high point of our whole trip to Maui! The boat crew was professional, kind and knowledgable -- especially Corey who pointed out nearly every type of fish, turtle and coral we could see. Snorkeling in the Molokini crater itself is a once-in-a-lifetime experience. A must if you're going to Maui!

Piyush Pardeshi · June 03, 2023Service! Service! Service!
Never been diving with the dive shop with such amazing service. This is my first time in Hawaii. My views on Maui are “a complete tourist trap” in multiple ways. But these guys helped change the view a little bit.
They were very professional in terms of their tour, helped out each & every person on the boat from the time we got on till we got off. I’ve been on many expeditions (dives & no dives) with the same amount of money paid for the tour and all the times crew performances were pretty basic - Imposing rules, asking us to do all the work, etc. But these guys went above & beyond - great food service, excellent help with dive gear, very informational, post dive information, heck they also provided dry & wet towels (what!!).
The diver master we went on dive with that day wasn’t that good as he missed on pointing out sea life multiple times. But he did mention he was new. I am not bothered by that. -
Josh Garrison · July 03, 2023Josh, Nick and Captain Gil will ruin diving anywhere else for you! This was a first class experience! They crew was professional, hilarious, customer focused and met needs we didn't know we had! Like coming by with an iced towel and cleaning our sun glasses.
We had an underwater "crisis" with my wife and Josh was the fastest swimmer I've ever seen! He corrected the issue and we went on our way.
Every moment of the trip was fantastic! Josh even picked us up and dropped us off from our hotel!
If you have your OWN dive gear like I did, do not book through your concierge! I paid rental prices and only needed tank and weight. Come to find out that if I had booked through the dive shop directly I would've received a discount. The concierge even spoke with the shop and asked for a discount and they were told there was none.
I can't talk highly enough about our crew and experience!
Also Nick cleans sun glasses like nobody's business!
