For the security of having an experienced diver along, you might want to consider one of the diving charters that sail out of Maalaea Bay and Lahaina. Molokini Crater, a marine preserve, displays an abundance of sea life. This is a very popular morning excursion for both snorkeling and scuba. No experience is necessary as highly trained instructors narrate, assist and supervise excursions. A tropical breakfast, deli-style lunch, all beverages, and quality snorkel gear are included.
Private charters are very reasonable rates also available.
Their internationally renowned diving school offers a PADI, NAUI, and SSI with three and four-day classes for the best prices available. Dives include spectacular views of coral reefs, sea turtles, lava formations, and shipwrecks. Snorkel or scuba dive with the experts. The maximum passenger load is 20, so there is never any overcrowding and personalized service is the rule. Includes your equipment, continental breakfast and buffet lunch.
