Ty and Connor were great! Especially Connor who was the dive instructor for my son and I. We got to see all kinds of fish, coral, sea turtles, sharks and more! Im certified but my son was not. Connor was an amazing instructor who made it fun and safe and now all he wants to do is dive! Ty and Connor are class acts and if youre looking to dive in Maui, look for these guys at In2Scuba!!

Our dive experience was incredible!!! Ty and his crew really know what theyre doing and they make sure that youre comfortable in the water as well. We had so much fun that we went back a few days later and did their turtle and shark dive! I would recommend booking with these guys over and over again!! I cant say enough good things! Well definitely be back to dive with them again!

My wife and I did two dives with Ty from In2Scuba during our honeymoon in Maui, and I've gotta say, it was easily my favorite thing we did on our entire trip. Highly recommend. It was my wife's first time diving so we did the Beginners Scuba First Dive, and Ty was wonderful - he explained everything to her, and was prepared and attentive. We both felt safe with him, and was able to enjoy Maui's unbelievable water and chill turtles in a way that's just not possible with a snorkel. After the intro dive, we booked the second dive with Ty which I highly recommend - more turtles
