Night Dive

Maui Scuba Diving Under Darkness

Scuba diving under darkness is one of the best ocean experiences in Maui. You meet your guide at sunset in Lahaina and walk into the ocean during the final minutes of twilight, searching for turtles, sharks, and eels. Book through Banyan Tree Divers to learn why even seasoned scuba divers in Hawaii are fascinated by the exquisite array of nocturnal life in Maui.

Please note that night diving requires a minimum of 2 divers, and you must be a certified diver.

You will meet your dedicated instructor at our headquarters in Lahaina. Please provide proof of certification. Your diving history should show us that you logged a dive in the last six months to one year. Beginners can instead start with introductory lessons or a PADI course to learn how to scuba dive.

Mala Wharf in Lahaina is a favorite spot to night dive. If you have ever experienced the thrill of Mala Wharf on a sunny day, then you will find this Maui diving site changes into a whole new playground under darkness. You can see invertebrates like an octopus, lobster, or crab shuffle past coral polyps filtering plankton. This Maui dive site has wonderfully eerie caverns hosting brightly colored soft corals and resting fish schools. You can find resident sea turtles sleeping under the pier, as large Conger Eels scour the corals and ocean floor for a much-anticipated evening meal. Sometimes White Tip Reef Sharks make an appearance at Mala Wharf too!

What to Expect for Your Night Dive

Our dive service sets you up with an instructor who meets you at our headquarters (also known as our house) about an hour before sunset to provide a safety briefing. Your pre-rented gear is included and will be ready to go. You then drive to the instructor’s pre-selected dive site to complete the dive.
