Maui Scuba Diving
Diving Schools, Certification Process, & Rentals
If you’re looking to scuba dive in Maui, but are not certified, you have 2 options. You can take a longer more expensive certification course on the Mainland (in colder waters) or you can get certified in Maui. The only setback to getting certified while on your trip is the amount of time it will take away from your vacation. Below you’ll find a list of Maui Scuba Diving Schools that will certify you for Padi dives.
Dive Masters will start you off right away in the ocean and help you through different safety procedures. You’ll be walked through every part of setting up your gear as well as through the different possible scenarios while underwater. After your 3-4 day course, you’ll be ready for any situation. The dives are from shore and relatively easy. Each day of training is thorough, yet brief enough for you to still enjoy the rest of the day. If you’re only planning on visiting our island for 4-5 days, we recommend you learn elsewhere so as to not disturb your trip with tests and diving exhaustion. Though the dives are shallow and not very long, the process is tiring and you’ll want to take it easy for the rest of the day.
All in all, there are many proven Maui Scuba Schools providing Padi certification by friendly and understanding dive masters.

Maui SNUBA Diving
For those of you not able to do a full scuba certification course, Pride of Maui offers snuba diving, which doesn’t require certification or any experience. This allows you to breathe underwater at depths you likely couldn’t get to snorkeling.
