Since 2001, Ty Burnett’s In2Scuba Diving Maui has been introducing guests to the magic beneath Kaanapali and Lahaina’s turquoise waters. Ty and his hand-picked team focus on first-time and family divers, keeping groups intentional...
Ty stands out as an exceptional instructor who clearly knows how to make divers feel safe and comfortable, whether it's someone's very first time or they're shaking off 25 years of rust. Multiple reviewers mention feeling nervous initially, then completely at ease once Ty's thorough land-based instruction and patient approach kicked in. He takes time with the basics in shallow water before progressing, constantly checking in underwater to ensure everyone's doing okay. Jamie also gets strong praise for being informative and prioritizing safety while keeping things fun. The marine life encounters are consistently spectacular. The Shark and Turtle Reef dive at Mala Wharf gets particularly enthusiastic reviews, with divers spotting countless turtles, white-tip reef sharks (including babies), moray eels, and colorful fish tucked into caves and crevices. What really elevates the experience is Ty's knowledge of where to look—he points out creatures that guests would definitely miss on their own. The intro and refresher courses seem perfectly designed too, giving people confidence before committing to full certification. Several reviewers came back for multiple dives, which speaks volumes about the quality of the experience.
This was my first time diving and was thrilled I was able to do something like this before committing to a full scuba certification course. Ty was great! I felt very confident with the instruction and safe throughout the dive. I would highly recommend Ty and this intro dive. My only complaint was I didn’t have time to do another one. Make time to check out the follow up options if you can!
