Our most popular trip, this 2-tank dive charter usually visits Molokini Crater first and is followed by a dive along the shoreline where we are likely to see turtles! Scroll down for more info!

About

Recognized for its rich marine life, Molokini Crater was designated a Marine Life Conservation District in 1977. This designation protects the coral reefs, fish populations, and other underwater creatures from fishing, collection, and harmful human activities. It’s a haven for marine life to thrive, contributing to the vibrant underwater world divers experience today.

These trips are suitable for experienced divers as well as novices and our crew does their best to group divers according to experience level with the goal of providing the best trip for each type of customer! Light snacks, juices, sodas, and water are provided.

Note If it has been more than two years since your last dive, the Maui Diamond requires that you take a guided dive or a refresher ahead of time or hire a private guide for your boat dives.

What To Expect: Certified Divers

We usually kick off the day by heading to Molokini Crater, where we moor inside one of the protected corners. Conditions here are typically calm, making it a great place to enjoy the incredible visibility and abundant marine life. Depending on the site and current, divers may briefly reach depths of up to 90 feet—but don’t worry, your guides will assess conditions and help you plan your dive accordingly.

For the second dive, we stay flexible and choose a site based on the day’s best conditions—often somewhere known for its turtle sightings! The second site is generally shallower, with typical depths ranging from 30 to 50 feet, allowing for a relaxed and rewarding dive.

Do you need rental gear? No problem! We can provide you with a BCD and regulator (and whatever else you may need) for just $30.

Snorkeling on this Trip
Snorkelers are absolutely welcome! To meet safety requirements and Coast Guard regulations, a private in-water guide is required for all snorkelers – even those who are confident and experienced in the ocean.

This adds a $299 guide fee per snorkel group. If you’re booking more than one snorkeler, please call us so we can make sure you’re only charged for one guide, not per person.

If you’re open to sharing your guide and others sign up to snorkel the same day, we’re happy to split the cost – just let us know!

The Small Print:
Though we are planning to dive Molokini, Mother Nature is the ultimate boss of what we do. Should we find ourselves in conditions that do not allow us to safely dive at Molokini, we will find another more appropriate site or two and take it from there. We will not issue refunds if we find that the weather will not permit us to dive at the originally planned site.

DIVER MEDICAL FORM REQUIRED: All certified divers are required to complete a medical history form and some will be required to obtain their physician’s release to participate in scuba diving. Here’s a link to the form for easy reference and in case it’s needed for a doctor visit. Divers who are required to obtain a medical release to dive and who show up without one will be welcomed aboard as passengers but will not be able to dive and will not be refunded. We’d rather get to take you diving, so please get this done!
