My wife and I dove twice with Makena Coast Dive Charters May 15 & 18, 2012 at Molokini crater. Steve and Joe did a great job captaining us - the second trip a drift dive around the back side of Molokini which was very fun and more secluded. Good equipment, nice clean boat. Divemaster Ben Ha did a fabulous job... More

We dove with your organization on April 29 on the 6:30 am dive. John was the dive master and the boat captain was young from Colorado (I forgot his name; he did great pineapple). They were both wonderful! They gave clear thorough instructions, were a lot of fun, and we had a great time. Our diving group consisted of a... More

This was a no frills dive charter. Good guys with Captain Steve and Divemaster Ben Ha. Very laid back, no overly strict rules and restrictions like some companies want to try to impose. Pretty much let you do what you wanted to and see what you wanted to see, while still remaining safe. Did not have fresh water tank on... More

We had a great time with Makena. The dive crew was the best. And we saw a pod of dolphins on the second dive which was a bucket list item for my wife. Benha the Dave Master and a renown photographer and Travis the captain were a very friendly. We plan to come back in next and will definitely call... More

I visit Maui at least once per year and typically dive with charter services out of Kihei, the south side of the island, and Lahaina on the north/west side of the island. This year during February and March I once again visited Maui and was fortunate enough to be able to dive with Makena Coast Dive Charters, a dive operation... More

Knowledgeable and friendly crew, and full service operation make diving in Maui a joy. Great choice if you're in Kihei. We drove an hour from Kahana to dive with this great crew. Highly recommend!

I went on a 2 tank "expedition" dive with Makena Coast and chose them from their good reviews on this sight. After reading through their website I called and talked to Steve about what I was looking for. I like a small group with more advanced divers who don't run out of air quickly or bunch up. He suggested their... More

My wife and son don't dive (yet) but they do snorkel. The crew accomodated them and didn't make them feel out of place at all. They charged $120 for each snorkeler. This is a bargain compared to all of the "cattle" boats that haul in 60 to 120 snorkelers at a time. We got to molokini before the big boats... More
