Why dive here
Turtle Town is a dive where divers can encounter blue sharks, sea turtles and sperm whales. Water ranges 25-28°C, warmest August, September, October.
Turtle Town, off the coast of Maui, is exactly what it sounds like: a reliable spot for green sea turtles. You'll often find them resting on the sandy bottom or gliding along the gentle currents. It's a shallow, relaxed dive, ideal for newer divers or anyone looking for an easy encounter with these majestic reptiles. Beyond the turtles, expect the usual Hawaiian reef fish in good numbers.
