Where is the best scuba diving locations on the island of Maui? We would like to hear from you, if you have dived on Maui and would like to cast your vote for the #1 Maui Dive Spot.

Molokini comes to many peoples mind, however, you must factor in the costs associated with charter boats and tour boats, and the masses of snokelers that come by large tour boats. Sadly there has also been damage to the reef and the fish life there because of over use. However, it is a special place, and that back wall is a exciting place to dive.

Other great dive spots are the Five Caves in Makena, Black Rock in Kaanapali, Cathedrals in Lanai, Ulua Beach, Hanakao’o (Canoe Beach), and many more.

Are you thinking about trying out SCUBA? Maui is a great place to Scuba Dive because of it’s great water temperatures and easy access to Scuba Diving sites (via Shoredives) with lots of sea life.

Introduction to Scuba

Scuba diving is swimming underwater while using self-contained breathing equipment. Scuba stands for “Self-Contained Underwater Breathing Apparatus.” A scuba is gear that permits you to execute a range of underwater adventures and activities. Scuba in addition refers to groups of people who engage in or are fans of scuba diving. If you plan to vacation in Maui, you should plan ahead for a scuba lesson as it is an exhilarating experience.

If you have little or no scuba diving knowledge, the Introductory Dive or Discovery Dive courses can help you to obtain the experience you should have to take on scuba diving in Maui. Numerous travelers and scuba diving fans take a trip to Maui and other Hawaii dive destinations and scuba dive there so that they can develop experience and become ready to scuba dive in other more tricky scuba diving spots or locations.

Scuba diving allows you to discover much deeper underwater, rather than simply a few meters beneath the top. Scuba diving provides you the opportunity to come into much closer contact with the underwater environment. Although scuba diving equipment may be heavy, it does not appear so once you are undersea. While you scuba dive, you bring with you each and every one of the necessary scuba apparatus you need in order for you to breathe underwater. Once underwater, you can select to glide underwater by pushing yourself with fins and your personal force. Then again, you are able to use a little mechanical vehicle if you would rather move underwater faster called a DPV, check out our Scooter Dive section for more info.

While scuba diving is still evolving, it already has several universal classifications including recreational diving, technical diving, military diving and commercial diving. There are even more scuba diving categories, however these are the more common ones. Essentially, a scuba diving classification depends on the scuba diver and the gear utilized. Want to know more about scuba?

New years resolution; Scuba diving on Maui is what I want to do in 2009! But you say “Scuba Mike, you go scuba diving every day, don’t you?”. Well I recently suffered an injury which had my foot in a cast for the last month.

Tomorrow the cast comes off, and the ocean is beautiful, calling me to dive deep in the cool, healing Hawaiian waters of Maui.

If you have never gone Scuba diving, Maui is the best place to discover the under water world. With accessible shore dives and a wide aray of ocean life you will have an adventure that just might spark your passion for the ocean and a life long connection to nature.

I wish you all the best in 2009, I hope you remember to malama da aina, malama ke kai. When diving or snorkeling always respect the ocean, the reef and it’s inhabitants.

Aloha!

Let’s go Scuba Dive Maui!

The weather outside is FANTASTIC! A warm fire might be deligting…after a long scuba dive in Maui!! Maybe if we were in Kula.

Here in the sunny shores of West Maui we enjoyed a fun introductory dive.

So you’ve seen the underwater world, but have you seen the underwater world at night? When you go night diving on Maui you’ll see a whole new world. Even if you have dived a site many times before, it takes on a new personality at night, as many underwater creatures and plant life (different from those you see at day) are active at night.
