The dive was indescribably beautiful. There were lots of turtles to see, even up close. Simply impressive. The group was small and you felt special.

Wonderful experience with Shane as our instructor. This was my first ocean dive and this dive set the bar pretty high. Many sea turtles and white tip reef sharks. We even saw a black seahorse!

Caitlin was a pro and made me feel safe and comfortable doing something I’ve never done before. Here teaching skills were amazing and all in all it was one of the best experiences I’ve had in Maui. Highly recommend this company!

Our dive instructor Shane made it such a great time. Dive conditions weren’t the best because there was a storm off-shore but he took us to a nice beach we’re we still were able to see a lot. Also a great photographer. The photos from the dive were fantastic!

Wow this was a great dive with my son who’s 16.
Shane our instructor was very good and went over everything we needed for a successful dive. Turtles, fish and the coral reef was great.
If you want to dive having a private dive 2-4 people is well worth it.
Response from Host, Sep 2022

Our scuba instructor Jen was very knowledgeable and made the experience very fun. Thorough explanation of safety, how to use the scuba gear. Actual dive site was near a turtle cleaning station, cool to see. No underwater cameras to take photos since all attention to scuba safety. Did not come with water or snacks as advertised.
Response from Host, Mar 2022
Aloha, thank you for sharing your experience diving with Jen! We are glad that you enjoyed your dive and felt that the lesson was thorough and safety conscious. We regret that you were not offered the snacks we have available post dive. As mentioned in our exclusions, we do not provide bottled water because we are trying to eliminate our use of plastic. We encourage guests to bring their own refillable water bottles and we are happy to refill them at our headquarters. Thank you for bringing this important aspect of service to our attention!

This was the best adventure we took on our Maui trip!! Banyan Tree Divers was an incredible company. Their patience with us as brand new scuba divers was exactly what we needed. We did the private dive for 2 people. I felt so safe the whole time and learned so much. I would recommend them to anyone!!
Response from Host, Jul 2021

This was the 1st dive for my husband & I, so we were uneasy. Kevin & Caitlin immediately put us at ease. Caitlin was very knowledgeable & patient. Diving has been on our bucket list for a long time. It was challenging & fun. At 60 yrs plus it was worth the wait.
JAVIER_M, Oct 2022
El trato excelente, y muy profesional, viajamos con dos personas que no habían buceado y los instructores consiguieron que bucearan con tranquilidad y disfrutarán de la inmersión. Hicimos una inmersión de 45 minutos y las vistas fueron geniales.
Response from Host, Oct 2022
Hola! Gracias por su recomendación de Banyan Tree Divers! Es muy importante que la instrucción de la primera inmersión sea clara, segura, y divertida. Estamos felices que uds. se divirtieron y esperamos que continúen buceando!
