Discover Scuba Diving

Introductory dives are always a memorable experience. Whether it is a once in a lifetime experience for someone on their honeymoon, or if it’s an activity that a family does as a whole while on their dream vacation; the act of breathing underwater for the first time is a life changing experience. It provides quality time and an experience you will never forget. If you find yourself alone in your pursuit of discovering the underwater world, your instructor will be there to guide you the entire time as well as up to 3 other potential friends in adventure you just haven't met yet! We keep our groups to a maximum of 4 people with one instructor. If you have a larger group we have the ability to add a divemaster or second instructor to go along and increase the size of your group, safely and within PADI regulations for the sport of diving.

If you are the type of person that loves to research every technical aspect of something before you do it we have got you! The completely FREE PADI Discover Scuba Diving e-Learning gives you a way to scratch that itch! It’s an optional additional way for you to learn the information your instructor will go over with you before your in-water session at your own pace and in the comfort of your own home. We will be doing our entry into the water from the shore allowing you to be your most relaxed self, knowing your surroundings and being able to see the white sandy bottom will start your diving experience on the right foot! Less anxiety means more fun!

Course Sctructure

Discover the amazing underwater world that awaits you off the beautiful west coast of Maui. If you’d like to try scuba diving, but don’t have the time for the two day course or just aren’t sure if you’re ready, then discover scuba diving is for you. This introduction to scuba diving doesn’t require any previous experience. You learn the basic safety guidelines and skills needed to dive under the direct supervision of a PADI Professional.

Find out what it’s like to breathe underwater. Learn key skills that you’ll use during every scuba dive. Have fun swimming around and exploring our beautiful coral reefs Hear about becoming a certified diver through the PADI Open Water Diver course.

Maui Diving will provide you with all the scuba equipment you need to complete your Discovery Scuba Dive. There is no extra charge for the use of our rental equipment. We even include mask and fins with your rental equipment at no extra charge. If you decide that you’d like to purchase your own mask and fins after the class, we have a wide variety of options in our retail store. It is great to have your own mask and fins as you’ll want to travel with these items in the future to make sure all of your diving or snorkeling experiences are comfortable and fit you perfectly!

Dives are limited to 4 divers to 1 instructor so you’ll be sure to have plenty of personal care and attention on what could be your first time breathing underwater!

   Dive Briefing At The Store

You will meet at the shop where your instructor will walk you through the ins and outs of a scuba gear setup. Teaching you about the equipment for the first time, allowing you time to touch, feel, and ask questions. You’ll receive an introduction to the guidelines of scuba diving and the skills you’ll be performing underwater before you head out to the beach together to give scuba diving a try for what could be your very first time!

   Optional Upgrade to 2-Tank Day

For those who wish to upgrade their dive day to a 2-Tank dive day have that opportunity in our 11:30a session (special accommodations can be made with enough advance notice to offer a 2-Tank dive with a different start time). If the conditions continue to be safe after your first dive and you’ve performed well on your first dive, there is nothing stopping you from jumping right back in and doing a second dive! Your instructor will choose the site for the second dive after you’ve been evaluated on your first dive, but oftentimes we can change dive sites to give you a different view of how unique the underwater environment can change from mile to mile. Fingers crossed you could see turtles, white tipped reef sharks, and countless other marine life like reef octopus, schools of fish, and ancient coral reefs.
