3.Discover Scuba Diving Class from Lahaina

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 185 reviews · 3 hours (approx.) · from $158

See Maui’s coral reefs, turtles, and tropical fish in a small-group PADI scuba lesson with gear, instruction, and practical tips.

“My two adult daughters (both mid-20s) had done a few dives in their teens in Europe but never were PADI certified. We did the Discover Scuba dive together on the Wharf and it was perfect! Probably saw 30 turtles- many within arms reach. 2 sharks as well. Joe did a great job refreshing my daughters on their skills before we went down- superb instructor and patient with beginners but not overly controlling. I’ve been diving in Egypt, Mexico, Spain, and Oahu and this was on par or better than all four.”

I am so happy I was able to get up the nerve to participate in this adventure! Gu was very patient in calming my anxiety. I will never forget the experience! It is life changing. Thank you Gu!”
