"SCUBA diving, exceptional in Maui." Top 5 Page for this destination Maui Sports & Outdoors Tip by seamandrew

Maui's allure doesn't end with it's lush rainforests, stunning beaches, perfect weather, or majestic volcanoes. The diverse and abundant sea life below the sea level is also amazing. Granted, it is not really one of the world's most biologically diverse or biologically abundant areas, but for a small island, you see quite a lot and many of the dive tour operators know the best places to go are. Some excellent spots are Slaughterhouse Beach, Turtle Cove, Molokini Crater (cool night diving there), Lanai and the cathedrals, the wreck of the St. Anthony with accompanying artificial reef and so many more.

There are also countless dive operations with which you can book your dive trips. Liz and I chose Triology and we were quite pleased. The staff was young, enthusiastic, fun, and most importantly, knowledgable. They have only recently begun their dive operations, but their staff has been diving the areas around Maui for a while and know Maui's best dive secrets well. Plus, most of their dive instructors and dive masters came from another popular dive company. If you pick up your copy of Maui Revealed (the guidebook) they will mention a number of good dive operations. Include Trilogy, especially for a night dive!

One last thing, always remember to tip the crew when disembarking from the vessel. They work hard to make sure you have a good time so the gratuity is only well deserved.

Equipment: All you have to bring is your certification card. They'll have everything else, but remember, the more of your own equipment you have, the more comfortable you will be diving.

Directions: The Trilogy catamarrans sail from Ma'alaea and Ka'anapali.
