A banyan tree in downtown Lahaina inspired our company name. This impressive local tree sits towering above Front Street, adjacent to the Lahaina harbor. In 1873, standing just eight feet tall, Lahaina planted this famous banyan tree from India at the courthouse square.
Nowadays, the spectacular tree shades more than two-thirds of an acre, supported by 16 trunks with a height of over 60 feet. It’s the shade-filled heart of Lahaina, where celebrations take place. The tree represents a reminder of Maui’s recent history and a chance to connect with the island during your visit to Lahaina.
3 Goals Diving in Lahaina, Hawaii

Creating Awareness for Coral Reef & Fish Conservation |
Maui scuba divers experience the beautiful coral reefs and marine life beneath the ocean’s surface. We consider ourselves privileged to explore this delicate part of Maui and the Earth. So to help protect the fragile corals your scuba instructor likes to incorporate conservation awareness into every dive briefing. Ultimately this means emphasizing safe buoyancy control techniques to help protect Maui’s coral reefs. Unfortunately, the Pacific Ocean is not as healthy as it used to be. Pollution, overfishing, and shark finning are just some issues threatening stability. Maui in particular continues facing coral reef degradation and enormous habitat losses. |
Sharing Aloha for West Maui |
Hawaiian culture has a deep-rooted respect for family (Ohana). We hope you find that same sense of Aloha scuba diving in Maui with us. |
