Aloha Maui Diving - Maui Diving Expert

How deep do beginner scuba divers go in Maui? Although Discover Scuba Diving standards allow a maximum depth of 40 feet, Aloha Maui Diving’s introductory dives average about 20 feet. Shallow Maui coral reefs provide comfortable conditions, bright natural light and excellent opportunities to see green sea turtles, octopuses, rays, reef fish and eels. Learn how instructors adjust each dive to the group’s abilities, air consumption, ocean conditions and individual comfort levels.

What should you bring for your first scuba dive in Maui? Learn how to prepare for a beginner experience with Aloha Maui Diving, including what to wear, which sun protection and personal gear to pack, and why water, snacks and breakfast matter. This guide also explains medical and dive-insurance information, the policy against beginner divers using underwater cameras, how photography can be arranged, and why you should bring only essential valuables to the dive site on your dive day.

What scuba skills do beginners learn before their first dive in Maui? Aloha Maui Diving instructors teach four essential shallow-water skills: clearing a regulator by exhaling, using the regulator purge button, recovering a regulator and clearing water from a mask. Beginners also practice calm breathing, ear equalization, underwater hand signals, finning and buoyancy control.
