Two-Day Scuba Diving Course in Lahaina

The PADI Open Water Diver course is the world’s most popular scuba diving certification! Beginners can get scuba certified with our dive shop in Lahaina to experience Maui’s unique ocean life. This scuba course certifies you to dive independently of professional supervision. The maximum depth limit is 60 feet for this certification.

Your scuba course gets divided into three distinct sections:

The first section covers scuba diving academics. The PADI Open Water Diver course uses five chapters to explain the physics and physiology of scuba diving and safe diving techniques. If you want to get the most out of your vacation by studying in advance, PADI eLearning offers a way to complete the entire academic portion before you arrive in Maui. We highly recommend this option because it maximizes your vacation time. You can purchase PADI eLearning during checkout and download it to all of your favorite devices. Once you have completed your final exam, you can email a copy of your PADI eRecord to [email protected]
You get to practice scuba diving skills at the surface and in shallow water during the second section of your PADI Open Water Diver course. These skills teach you to trust your equipment and handle any unlikely emergency without panic.
The third section focuses on your four training dives in the ocean. You finally get to practice using buoyancy control, so you can learn to hover over the coral reef. Excellent buoyancy control shows you know to respect the marine environment! Your PADI instructor will also teach you the key to every scuba dive: how to safely plan and execute a successful dive profile.

This qualification is internationally recognized and valid for life! You will become part of a fantastic community by earning your scuba diving certification. There’s no better place to learn than right here in Maui. The stunning underwater views and marine life surrounding Maui make it the ideal location to get your license. Join the scuba tribe!

What to Expect During Your Scuba Course

Your scuba course begins at our headquarters in Lahaina at 8:30 am. Your pre-rented equipment is included and will be ready to go. After meeting your instructor and listening to a briefing about the dives, you will drive your rental car to the dive site your instructor selects. Would you please let us know if you will not have a rental car? You will make two dives per day, so each day finishes at 3 to 4 pm.

Our dive service offers maximum convenience during your Maui vacation. Your instructor will work directly with you to outline the best course for your vacation schedule. The location for the second day of your course gets arranged in person after day one. So get excited to begin your scuba diving education.
