Divers consistently praise this operation for making guests feel like VIPs rather than just another booking. Javier and his crew handle virtually everything—setting up gear, breaking it down, even cleaning equipment—so you can focus entirely on the underwater experience. The team includes experienced divemasters like John, Katie, and Christinia who brief groups thoroughly and make less experienced divers feel comfortable. Captains like Steve are known for excellent customer service, and there's a bonus whale watching element during surface intervals that guests absolutely love. The Molokini dives get rave reviews for incredible visibility and marine life, with many diving the back wall for dramatic drop-offs and others exploring the crater itself. Most reviewers highlight the small group sizes and relaxed atmosphere on the boat, complete with shade, snacks, and warm freshwater rinses. One guest with extensive Maui diving experience across multiple companies called this their most professionally run trip. A couple of reviewers mentioned expectations around boat amenities and group attention that didn't quite match the premium price point, but the overwhelming majority describe this as a top-tier diving experience worth every penny.
We booked the two tank Molokini Crater dive it was a good dive. In the month of September the water was 80 degrees but we always like to have an exposure suit on. Their rental fee for a suit was good so we didn’t pack ours with our gear. Captain Gu was great, Divemaster Rae the trash mermaid and I bonded over picking up trash on the second dive. (Always good to do a dive against debris dive.) Due to the resent storm there was more trash than usual. Divemaster John and I hung for some extra bottom time and found some fun critters. Boat had snacks in the wings always ready to go and a cooler full of drinks. Hydration is always important while diving. They even rinsed our gear for us so we don’t have to deal with it at our Air BnB. Just a few things we saw: Large Eel (over 5 feet), adorable little reef sharks, devil scorpion, octopuses (It’s not Octopie!), Humuhumunukunukuapui’a!!! Easy parking at the Kīhei boat ramp, simple check in process, loading and unloading was simple. Highly recommend diving with them. And always remember to complete a pre-dive safety check when you are diving! *Long live Bruce Willis! 🤣
