South Maui Discover Scuba Dive
Overview
This excursion is designed for people who have never tried diving to get a feel for it. It consists of an in depth theory lesson, the practice of some shallow water skills, and then an open water dive. No prior dive experience is necessary. If you do enjoy it as much as we hope you will, you can use your dive and your skills towards the PADI Open Water certification. You must complete a medical questionnaire (we will provide) prior to your excursion and have the ability to swim. Previous experience snorkeling is recommended.

What To Expect
We do easy shore diving which is a perfect introduction to the underwater world. The program is called Discover Scuba Diving, the instructor gives a safety briefing and answers any questions you may have. We go into shallow water first to practice some skills and get comfortable in the equipment and the water - then you go diving! A PADI instructor is with you the whole time looking after you and will show you some of the marine life and corals we have here on Maui. Max depth 35ft.

No, you don’t need to have any previous Scuba experience, but you must be able to swim without a flotation device.
Mar 2022Participants in the South Maui Discover Scuba Dive cannot fly in an airplane within 24 hours of their dive.
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.
Jun 2024If you have any doubts about becoming seasick on the water, we recommend taking a Dramamine® Motion Sickness Relief tablet the night before your trip. Some people recommend taking it the night before your cruise and then again that morning so you will not feel so drowsy.
