Why choose Dive Maui for your Turtle and Shark Dive
Best dive site
We take you straight to the best site on West Maui: Mala Wharf. We don’t want you to miss out on a great dive just so we can upsell you it after!

We accept a maximum of 4 people. We want to focus on our divers, not volume. Of course, if you have a larger group we will accommodate your group.
80 Cubic Tanks
We provide all our divers with 80 cubic feet tanks. We don’t want your tank size to limit your bottom time! (Smaller tanks available upon request).

Up to an hour
Your dives last up to an hour (if your air consumption allows). We don’t cut your dives short so we can get home early!

Turtle and Shark Shore Dive
Since being destroyed by Hurricane Iniki in 1992, Mala Wharf has become the best dive site on Maui. A quick walk from our shop, Mala is home to so much life that if you only have time for one dive while you’re on island, this should be it. In addition to turtles and sharks, the sunken pier is home to large schools of fish, octopus, eels, nudibranchs, and the elusive but popular frogfish!
The Dive Maui team loves diving and all of our dives have the potential to be one hour long, air permitting. Unless otherwise requested, all our shore dives are conducted on 80’s (standard size tanks) which means you can expect close to an hour underwater.
All our shore dives are private or in small groups of no more than 4 divers so you’ll get the most out of your experience. Smaller groups, make it easier for your PADI professional to give you individualized attention and point out the cool stuff.
Make it a 2 Tank
Mala is such an amazing dive, sometimes once isn’t enough. Want more? Ask us about adding a second tank at Mala (yes it’s that good you could dive it twice) or another West Maui site to your day at a discounted rate.
Shark and Turtle Dive Maui
You enter the water and, after a short surface swim, descend on a condemned pier that has transformed into a vibrant reef. Schools of fish surround the wreckage that has accumulated colorful corals and sponges.
Turtles swim all around in organized chaos as you search for camouflaged frogfish, making it hard to decide where to look. You follow your instructor as they lead you through the obstacle course of the wreck, swimming under and through the old dock where you spot a pregnant reef shark resting under a section of cement and pause to admire her beauty. As you make your way back to your starting point you focus on the multitude of turtles that gracefully soar through the clear water.
