Scuba Diving Policies
Cancellation Policy
Our Maui dive shop has a 48-hour cancellation policy. If you cancel before this timeframe, you will receive a full refund, but a cancellation made after 48 hours is not eligible for a refund.
PADI Course Refunds
Your PADI course is paid in full before you begin. Once you start your scuba course, we cannot issue refunds if you do not complete the course requirements. However, in the event of illness or injury, don’t hesitate to contact us for options to delay or possibly reschedule your dive reservation. Your instructor can provide a PADI referral form if you cannot complete your course. A PADI referral is valid for one year.
Price Guarantee
We reserve the right to change our prices. However, once you pay in full, we guarantee the price quoted.
Swimming Requirements
You should feel comfortable and confident swimming in the ocean before you sign up for the Beginner Scuba Dive.
Swimming proficiency assessments are compulsory for anyone beginning a course, such as PADI Scuba Diver, PADI Open Water Diver, or Open Water Referral Dives. PADI course participants need to complete a 10-minute float in the ocean, plus a 200-meter swim or 300-meter snorkel. But don’t worry; your swim and snorkel tests have no time limitations.
Proof of Certification
Beginners do not need a scuba certification to go diving, but certified divers are required to provide us with a diving certification. Your scuba instructor can check your certification card and logbook before exploring Maui’s dive sites. If you have misplaced anything, contact us in advance to see how we can help.
Maui Dive Site Requests
Scuba dive in Maui with us for a perfect day of shore diving!
The famous beaches of Lahaina, Kaanapali, and Kapalua provide many opportunities to explore Maui underwater. Your instructor decides on each dive site according to your skill level and the forecasted Pacific Ocean conditions. As a result, we cannot confirm the dive site you visit for any given day until the time of your scuba dive.
Thank you so much for reading our scuba diving policies. We look forward to connecting you with an expert instructor and taking you scuba diving in Maui!
