DIVE SITE FAQ
Will we see fish?
Yes, all our dives have us hanging out with colorful reef fish and coral reef. However, we cannot guarantee sightings of turtles, octopus, or other marine life as turtles do not have phone numbers or keep office hours!
Will we get on a boat?
No, we specialize in shore diving. Maui is blessed with beautiful, easily accessible shore dive sites.
Why are all the sites so shallow?
The shallower the dive site, the more the sunlight gets to the coral reef and helps marine life flourish abundantly! We also get longer bottom times than if you were to dive deep.
Will we see whales?
We are unlikely to see whales as they usually inhabit deeper waters and local regulation prohibits us from getting too close. However, we are lucky to hear their sweet songs (whale soup) underwater during whale season!
Can I hug a turtle?
No turtle hugs are available as local regulations have us staying a careful distance away from them. However, the calm and respectful diver is often rewarded by curious turtles or other amazing marine life approaching them.
