What To Expect

Once you complete some forms & view the online lesson, you'll meet up with us at the beach for an orientation and then suit up to try scuba diving on one of Maui's beautiful coral reefs. This is for beginners, no prior scuba experience needed. Only basic swimming skills are required and being comfortable in the ocean.

*TIME SENSITIVE:* upon booking we send you a link to register and fill out a medical waiver. Please do this immediately to rule out any medical conditions that would require doctor's clearance. ✍️

24 hours before the dive you'll need to complete the short online lesson on how to scuba dive, called Discover Scuba Diver eLearning. Once your lesson is complete, we will message you with the meet-up location. ️At our sites you can see coral, fish and even turtles!

When planning your trip, know that flying within 18 hours of SCUBA is unsafe and therefore not permitted. ✈️ And it will be necessary to complete the online portions and for us to be able to communicate with you to give you the exact meet-up location.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How soon can I fly in an airplane after Scuba diving?

The main concern with scuba diving and flying is decompression sickness (DCS). Your body needs adequate time during an ascent to off-gas excess nitrogen, or you can form bubbles in your bloodstream, possibly leading to DCS. Read more Jun 2024
