Maui Scuba Diving Introductory Lesson from Lahaina

Divers must be in good physical health: Please be aware that you are required to fill out the medical waiver form (located on the view additional information button at the bottom of this description) and submit it to the local operator prior to your arrival. All medical questions on the waiver must be answered with a no if you wish to dive. If you have answered yes to any of the medical questions on the waiver, you will be required to provide a doctors release prior to diving.

Your introductory scuba dive starts with a 45-minute lesson at the dive shop in central Lahaina, where you’ll learn how to put on your mask and other equipment, breathe through a regulator and accomplish other basic diving skills.

Then it’s off to the reef where you’ll wade into the water for your first dive at an uncrowded site such as Black Rock on Kaanapali Beach, Honolua, Airport Beach, Kapalua Bay, Mala Pier or Canoe Beach. Depths off Maui’s coast go no deeper than 35 feet (10.7 meters) but are still home to diverse marine life like green sea turtles, coral and plenty of tropical fish.

Swim alongside your dive guide in a small group, enjoying customized attention and the flexibility to move at your own pace while you get used to being underwater and practice diving techniques. This guided shore dive counts toward certification, and you will be registered with PADI at no extra cost.
