Gear, Instruction, Reef dive
If you have not dived in at least a year, take a refresher course paired with a shore reef dive in Kaanapali. Certified divers can also join the group, and groups are kept small.
Minimum age is 12+, and you must speak and understand English. You must be able to carry your own equipment to and from the ocean (about 20–75 lbs) and complete required waivers in advance. If you answer yes on the medical questionnaire, you may need a doctor's release before you can dive.
No refunds if you cancel within 5 days of your scheduled time or do not show up. If you are late, you cannot be refunded or rescheduled. If the instructor cancels because it is not safe for you to continue, there is no refund; if weather prevents the activity and you cannot be rescheduled, you will be refunded. If you reschedule, the policy applies from the rescheduled date.

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.
I had a great first scuba diving experience with Sean as my instructor. I was a little nervous at first, but he explained everything clearly and helped me feel calm and confident before getting in the water. Once we were in the ocean, he took the time to make sure I felt comfortable and let me practice the skills until I felt ready. We only descended once I was relaxed, which I really appreciated. Throughout the dive he stayed close, always checking that we were doing well and feeling okay. Overall it was a really positive experience, and I’m very glad he was my instructor for my first dive. I would definitely recommend him to anyone trying scuba diving for the first time.
