Island Style Diving is a boutique, husband-and-wife charter that pairs Maui’s underwater magic with genuine aloha. Master Captain and dive instructor Javier and marine scientist Christina greet you aboard two purpose-built vessels...
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.
My husband and I went diving with Island Style Diving today. While we have been on many dive boats, this team run a tight ship! I was so impressed with their organization and all the tasks that they had to do provide a luxury dive experience, meaning we had very little to do in between dives except relax and point out whales! We had Steve as our captain, along with our two crew/dive masters. Between the three of them, they provided 10/10 customer service! Highly recommend diving with them!
