Had an amazing 2 dives with pro divers at Molokini. Got to see some white tip reef sharks, an eagle ray, and a manta. All of this to the soundtrack of humpback whales singing in the background. Surface interval was great as we went on a whale watch. Highly recommend diving with them. Friendly and helpful crew.

Had an incredible dive with Pro Diver Maui at the Molokini Crater. Even requested a last minute date change and they were super accommodating. The crew was knowledgable, helpful, fun, and made the experience so enjoyable and seamless. Special shoutout to Captain Jen! Can't recommend this dive shop enough -- whether you're a solo traveller (like me), still learning (like my dive buddy), or a seasoned vet travelling with a group (like the rest of our boat), they'll make your experience unforgettable!

Good crew. Professional and safe. Genuinely friendly without any bad attitude. We bailed after the first of three tanks with weather getting bad while we were under for the first dive. Good call. Gave me a discount the next day and made up for it. I plan on shore diving with them on the next trip.

Called to see if they had replacement heel straps for my dive fins - they said yes but all they had was mask straps which the clerk said would work for my fins.

Last week I went on a 2 tank dive with Prodiver - this was my first time with them as the company I usually go with had to sell their boat. The crew was friendly, well organized and made sure we knew the plan, knew what to look for (and listen for - it was humpback whale migration season). The divemaster was great at pointing out things to look for during the dive. It was a nice group size (7 divers) which I really appreciate - having large groups of 13 or more seems to me to be very detrimental to this local/fragile environment. All the people on the dive seemed to be qualified and we had no

I did my PADI open water certificate with Prodiver Maui and had the most amazing experience. Morgan, my instructor was very thorough and encouraging. He explained things clearly and patiently ahead of time, which helped a lot with managing anxiety that's often the hardest for first time divers. The price is unbeatable too. They include boat dives in the class which is very rare, and they take you to molokini crater for that! After I get my certificate, I came back for more boat dives and went to many different sites around Maui. It was the absolute highlight of my time here.
