Duration: 6 hours
Cancellation: 1 day learn more
Highlights
  • Lanai - Divers meet at our dive shop at 6:30 AM to check in and get fitted with rental gear. We often see dolphins and whales during the crossing and always stop the boat. The captain decides where we dive based on conditions, but you will almost always dive one of the Cathedrals and another spectacular location. When we arrive at our first site we do a short briefing and then suit up and dive into the crystal clear waters of Lanai.

As there are very few dive boats diving on Lanai we try to pick a site where we are the only people in the water. We do 60 minute dive, air permitting, to depths around 50 - 75 feet. After the first dive we do a short surface interval where we have a snacks or optional lunch. Then we dive again to a depth of 50 - 70 feet for up to an hour.

After the dives we break down the gear, take in the stunning topside scenery, and talk about what we found on our dives as we make our way back to Mala Wharf.

Well done Dive Maui - Did 2 x 2 tank charters to Lanai cathedrals, unfortunately due to the Lanaina fires of 2023, dive stores and boats are limited, as are the dives. Overall I found these guys to be excellent, all the dives were over 60 minutes in length, this is something I’ve not come across before, my youngest daughter who is only an open water diver had a great time. The crew are very appreciative of people returning to Maui and the Lahaina area. I look forward to next July and hope that Dive Maui are able to return to the hammer head sharks dives at Molokai. Highly recommend.

Dive Maui for the win!! - We loved the 2 Tank Cathedral Dive with Dive Maui! We had brought some of our own equipment but used their BCDs and regulators. The equipment we were supplied was in great condition. The trip to Lanai was fun. We came across a large pod of spinner dolphins that we took a moment to follow. The diving was absolutely beautiful. We stopped at two locations on the south side of Lanai. Our guide did a good job of leading our group through the reef and the cathedrals. It really couldn’t have been a better day. I’ll finish by saying that the chicken Caesar wraps Dive Maui offers were excellent and a really nice option for the ride back.

Two thumbs up! - Kudos to a great customer service focused staff ... dove Wash Rock and Cathedral 2 - dives on Lanaii. It's about an hour boat trip to and from. Capt Jack ("Sparrow") and our dive instructor guide, Scott, were first rate. Despite recovering from a foot injury that involved stitches ("ouch"), Jason ably led us on the short walk from the shop to the boat. Will do it again!

Great dive. Great team. Highly recommend. - Great trip. Captain jack added lots of local knowledge value while we were topside that was great! My guide Scott was knowledge and super chill. Have us all the info we needed to complete a chill dive and pointed out heaps of life under the water! Would definitely recommend. Also super convenient if you are staying on the west side.

Loved the Dive and will be returning - Had an amazing two-tank dive with Dive Maui. The Staff and Dive instructors were extremely helpful, from the check-in to completion of the trip. Dive Instructors were knowledgable and took care to maximize the experience for everyone on the trip. I would recommend Dive Maui to anyone and intend to return. Because it was a long time since my last dive, I opted for a refresher course prior to my scheduled dive. I was accompanied by another family for the discover scuba class which rivaled even the certified dives in terms of sea life. Definitely recommend the discover class for an introduction to diving if you don't have a certification!

Great Dive in Maui! - The crew was great. They switched out the gear between dives, were very informative about the area, local culture, and showed us a bunch of dolphins on the way to the dive sites. At the end of the first dive, I dropped my GoPro. They spent some time looking for it, but weren’t able to find it. They found it two days later and called me to return it. I had a blast diving with them. If/when I return to Maui, I will dive here again!

Would do again - Great dive experience! I feel like one dive master was a bit more enthusiastic than the other with finding macro + micro life, was a bit jealous of the other group. But nonetheless would recommend and had a great time!

Lanai Cathedrals dive - Great dive trip! Went solo but everyone was super professional and nice. Jack was the captain (very knowledgeable) and Jess was my divemaster. First dive had super strong currents but the 2nd (Lanai Cathedrals) was awesome! Remember to rent or pack a flashlight.
