Our Review: Dive Maui
Dive Maui runs 15 tours out of Lahaina with an average quality score of 68.7/100. That average is weighed down by a long tail of PADI courses and specialty dives that score in the 55-69 range. The top end of their catalog, though, is strong enough to consider.
The Shark and Turtle Dive for Certified Divers from Shore leads at 85/100. It's a shore-entry dive targeting the marine life that makes West Maui diving worth the trip: reef sharks, green sea turtles, and the coral formations around Lahaina. The 2 Tank Lanai Cathedral Dive by Boat (84/100) is the standout experience here. The Lanai Cathedrals are underwater lava formations with cathedral-like caverns, and this is one of the few operators running regular boat trips to that site from Lahaina.
The Discover Scuba from Shore (81/100) is a solid entry point for first-timers. Shore dives are lower-commitment than boat dives, and Dive Maui's Lahaina location puts you at a site where visibility is typically good and the marine life is abundant.
Where the scores drop is in the course catalog. PADI Open Water, Advanced Open Water, Nitrox certification, and referral courses all land between 55-69. These are certification programs, not recreational experiences, and scoring them against fun-focused tours is an apples-to-oranges comparison. If you need a PADI cert on Maui, the infrastructure is here. The whale watch offerings (73-74) are decent but not their core strength.
Who This Operator Is Best For
Certified divers who want to hit the Lanai Cathedrals without chartering a private boat, first-time divers looking for an affordable shore-entry introduction, and anyone needing PADI certification while on Maui. Dive Maui is a workhorse dive shop, not a luxury experience. Set expectations accordingly and you'll be satisfied.

Dry conditions on Oʻahu today, with breezy wind in exposed areas. Drier weather continues through Wednesday as moisture clears out.

East-facing shores stay rough through the weekend. Winds remain breezy through Sunday, easing slightly Monday and Tuesday before picking up again Wednesday. A Small Craft Advisory is active through Monday morning for most coastal waters due to wind and sea state. Scattered showers arrive Thursday into Friday.
