👍👍 WOW I wish I could give Alex 10 stars! My wife and I went to Maui for our honeymoon. We got NAUI Open Water certified before we go (although Alex said he could accommodate or even teach us a PADI course while we were there if we wanted) and I'm glad we did. Not because Alex would have been a bad...

👍👍 I completed a Freediving course with Jon and it was a lot of fun, and by the end of the course I was really relaxed, and felt like I had learned a lot. Some highlights were going from Kayak down the line to 20m and feeling like I could keep going, instead of wanting to turn back…with whales song fil...

👍👍 My wife and I have been diving on the Big Island for nearly 20 years and Mike and Jess at Liquid Cosmos Divers treated us to the most amazing Kohala Coast dives of our lives. They offer a smaller, more personalized dive experience aimed at more advanced divers looking for something beyond the ordina...

👍👍 Marcela was awesome! She was very helpful, set expectations and helped us through the whole trip so much that we had to do it twice! My husband had never even snorkeled before but she helped him right away get comfortable and by the end we felt like pros. Snooba was a blast and truly an experience t...

👍👍 I had an opportunity in May to book a helicopter tour with Maui Activities. I was working with Silvana and loved the experience so much I had to write a review.

👍👍 These guys are best of the best. We did three days of diving and each dive was different. The crew is amazing, helpful, and very knowledgeable. They really took care of our kids who are beginning diving with not a lot of experience.

👍👍 I started my journey by first doing a „discover scuba diving“ class with Tiffany. It was awesome. She explained things well and I felt totally safe and we saw lots of fish in the reefs of the Big Island. I then decided to actually take a course on „open water dive“ with her. In the following three d...

👍👍 If you have the opportunity to participate in a Freedive Ohana course- take it! Martyna and Leena run a thoughtful, challenging and safe certification program. It was life-changing for me. When I first moved to Maui I took the one-star course to help ease my fear of the ocean. With their encouragem...
