With an exceptional reputation built over years of service, this dive operation consistently delivers professional, safety-focused experiences for divers of all levels. The dive masters, particularly Joel, Jordan, and Kerri, earn repeated praise for their extensive knowledge of marine life, calm professionalism, and attentiveness to individual diver needs. They're especially skilled at working with newly certified divers and those returning after long breaks, creating a comfortable environment while spotting incredible sea life like turtles, spotted eagle rays, and frog fish. The shore dives at locations like Makena Landing and Oluwalu are popular offerings, though they also run boat trips to sites like Lanai's Cathedrals. Staff handle logistics smoothly, from advance gear sizing to flexible location changes based on conditions. The instructors strike a nice balance between education and fun, even managing groups with varying ages and experience levels. One reviewer did have a frustrating experience with their no-exceptions return policy on gear purchases, so it's worth being certain about fit before buying. Overall, though, this is a trusted local operation that makes both beginners and experienced divers feel confident and well-cared-for in Maui's waters.

What people are saying

My 2-young adult kids (20+ yrs olds) & I did 2-shore dives with Maui Dreams. These were our first dives since getting certified a year ago in the Caribbean. What a great experience!! It was a group of 6 divers. Kerri helped get us fitted with rental gear at the shop early that morning and then we met at Makena Landing. Kerri was great at giving us the dive overview of what we would do before each dive. His 30+ year experience gave us confidence since we were newbies. He was very good about getting out his dive tablet underwater to write anything special that we saw. Thank you Maui Dreams & Kerri!
