Maui

Maui's diving keeps us coming back, especially to the calmer leeward side. We love the easy access, often just a short boat ride or shore entry, meaning more time with the reef. It’s not about sheer depth here, maxing out around 16m, but about the density of endemic Hawaiian species. You’ll spend most dives just drifting along, spotting schools of ring-tailed surgeonfish and the electric blue flash of a Johnston Island damsel. Look closely and you might even find a shy carnelian cowry tucked into a crevice. The visibility averages a decent 19m, sometimes better, sometimes a bit cloudier after a big swell. We've had some fantastic encounters with oceanic manta rays gliding by in the deeper channels, a truly humbling experience. For us, the highlight is often simply watching the whitetip reef sharks resting under ledges or the playful antics of the numerous green sea turtles. If you’re into relaxed reef exploration with a strong chance of encountering larger pelagics, Maui is a solid bet.
