Incredible dive! The team was fantastic. Saw a massive tiger shark. I borrowed all my equipment from them - just make sure to tell them in advance. Had such a nice time that I booked an additional dive.

We had a great time diving Lanai! Our dive master, Brian, was super conscientious of our safety and pointed things out to us on the boat before our dive. There were 6 in our group and we were able to see so much during the dive. The highlight was definitely the 2nd Cathedral. Although it’s not so much about a cathedral setting but many caves to dive through. Never felt uncomfortable going through the. Abe’s. Lots of animals to see from morays to cleaning crabs to lobsters and octopus. The dives each lasted about 55 minutes depending on how much air you used.
I traveled with my daughter and we had a great time. The rest of the crew were always eager to help in any way. Our equipment was well maintained and they made sure we all had a good time!
I would highly recommend the dive. 2 tanks are a must!!! Consider ordering or bringing lunch for the ride home. It takes almost an hour in the water each way. We stopped a couple times to watch the dolphins having fun around the boat too!
Mahalo!

Captain Joe and crew made this a perfect first time ocean dive experience. Abbie was perfect as dive master. I was a little nervous going into the experience, but there was absolutely no need to be. They were very attentive and helpful the entire time. Even between the two dives, my skills improved dramatically based on comments and suggestions from Abby and some of the other divers. I doubled my underwater time. The sites were beautiful, we were able to see a lot of underwater wildlife, and visibility was great the day we dove. We even ran into a large dolphin pod on the way back. If I come back to Hawaii, I will definitely do this again. Highly recommended!
Response from Host, Jul 2025
We are so glad you enjoyed your dive with Abbi & Dive Maui! It is important to us that everyone feels comfortable, safe and has fun while diving. Dolphins on the way back is the best!

Great dive and great crew. The dive masters (Brian) were very good as well. I had a problem with my high pressure hose and the crew had it fixed within minutes.

I got a last minute call from the dive shop that I was booked on a wait list and there were no spaces left.
I was never told I was booked on a waiting list I actually got a verification from Viator.
I feel this was miss leading by Viator and left me with no time to book another dive
Response from Host, Dec 2024
Aloha,
We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience and frustration this has caused. Unfortunately, there was a communication error between our booking system and Viator, which incorrectly showed our waitlist as an available dive. When issues like this arise, we do everything in our power to resolve them promptly, and I’m happy to let you know this particular issue has now been fixed.
Sometimes technology doesn’t work in our favor, and the only way we discover such problems is when they surface through situations like yours.
If you’re ever back on Maui, please don’t hesitate to reach out to us so we can make it right.
Mahalo

Great Captain and crew. Our guides were extremely knowledgeable of the dive areas and safety was the top priority. Can't wait to come back and hire this company and crew for more advanced dives.

David_J, Aug 2024
I booked this dive a month ahead and they called and canceled it on me with less than 24 hours before it and I was only in Maui for the weekend. Ruined my trip, very unprofessional company, offered no alternative dive or anything. I wouldn’t book anything without a solid backup plan in place cause they WILL leave you hanging
Response from Host, Sep 2024
Cancelling a tour is the last thing we want to do as we are recovering from the losses of the fire.
Unfortunately since the Lahaina Fire, tourism has been slower in Lahaina and some days there are not enough divers to operate a tour. We do wait until the day before in hopes that more persons will book the dive. We appreciate your understanding as we all work to get back on our feet since the tragedy of last August.

Being from the Midwest, I’ve done a lot of dives in Lake Michigan. By comparison, this was a great experience. Our dive masters were thoroughly professional but pleasant and cheerful. The shop is small, but don’t let that throw. They went way above expectations. If I come back, they will be my choice.

Joe and Abbey made us feel very comfortable with the dives. The cathedral drive was very beautiful with the openings showing beautiful color background of the ocean water. The equipment was top notch!

The dive was phenomenal. Everyone from the guides to the captain to the office staff were professional, helpful and enjoyable. Always felt safe, even though the water was crazy rough that day. The guides also knew exactly where to take us for an exceptional underwater experience…everyone should check out the Cathedrals off Lanai!!

Our guide Abby, and her tram kept us safe and informed during this strong current dive. Visibility was not great due to the excess sand being kicked up, but mother nature controls that. Highlight was seeing a few eels coming our of their hiding spots and free swimming. Plus, the largest puffer fish I have ever seen in person.
