Diving Underwater

Welcome to breathtaking Maui, the Paradise of the Pacific! The big tourist spots in Maui include the Road to Hana, Haleakala National Park, Lahaina, and Hookipa. The Road to Hana is a highway that runs through the mountains. The road has many curves, but the sites are well worth it. There are waterfalls and black sand beaches along the way. Haleakala National Park is home to one of the most beautiful sunrises in the world. Drive up the dormant volcano to view the sunrise. It looks like it is coming right out of the crater. Lahaina was a quiet little fishing town, then a rowdy town where whalers came for R&R in the 1800’s, and is now a tourist Mecca loaded with shops, restaurants, history, boat harbor, and one of the best luaus on the island. Hookipa beach is home to some of the world’s best windsurfers.

The main tourist hotel and condo areas are West Maui (Kaanapali, Lahaina, Honokowai, Kahana, Napili, Kapalua), and South Maui (Kihei, Wailea Coast). Whether you are seeking Maui condos or perhaps are thinking in terms of Maui house rentals, we are the experts who can find you the perfect home-away-from-home where you can relax and enjoy the delights of Maui.

Ka’anapali is Maui’s equivalent of Waikiki Beach, although it comes nowhere close to being that big or busy. The entire beach is open to the public. Access is available through resort grounds, as are public restrooms and showers. Plenty of shops and restaurants are located right along the strip. We not only have the most up-to-date information on a wide variety of Maui rentals, we know of the best bargains and places to eat and enjoy. The sands are warm and gold; the water is clear and flat. A major Ka’anapali landmark is Black Rock. Once known as soul’s leap, this rock is still a popular jumping point for locals and particularly brave visitors.

Maui is justly famous for its terrific snorkeling! Here are some of the best places to dive:

Molokini is a nice place to snorkel, not the gem that it used to be, but still a very unique place to go. Scuba diving here is for more advanced divers, as it is a drift dive with some strong currents.

Black Rock (Ka’anapali Beach)

This is a beach entry snorkel or dive, easy except for some strong current toward the point. Very popular snorkel spot, and a shallow dive.

Honolua Bay (north of Kapalua) is an easy boat trip from Ka’anapali, harder shore entry with a semi-difficult climb down to the beach. An easy dive, 30-40 feet maximum, with lots of corals and fish life.

Ulua Beach has good beginner diving/snorkeling.

5 Graves / 5 Caves is Another beginner dive/snorkel site. There’s a nice underwater cave here with a resident reef shark. Divers can actually enter this cave, come up and sit on the rocks with your breathing apparatus out of your mouth.
