Why dive here
Napili Bay is a reef dive where divers can encounter blue sharks, sea turtles and sperm whales. Water ranges 25-28°C, warmest August, September, October.
Napili Bay offers a gentle introduction to diving on Maui's west coast. The sandy bottom slopes gradually, making it a good spot for refreshers or those new to ocean diving. We usually find green sea turtles here, often resting amongst the scattered coral bommies, alongside various small reef fish. It’s a calm, easy dive, particularly in the mornings before the winds pick up.
