Lahaina Divers – Scuba Diving In Maui

2-Tank Maui Scuba Diving
Lahaina Divers offers a variety of Maui scuba diving locations that are fun and exciting. These are afternoon diving trips. Some of the locations that they frequently visit during these Maui scuba diving adventures are Turtle Reef or the Carthaginian shipwreck. The shipwreck dive descends over 100 feet to the ocean floor. This is an interesting dive as the Carthaginian was sunk as an artificial reef. The experiment was a huge success as the shipwreck is slowly getting covered with barnacles and the entire area has blossomed into a marine habit for hundreds of species of fish. At one time the Carthaginian was docked in Lahaina and used as a museum. The ship is a concrete replica of an 18th-century whaling ship. Now it’s a thriving reef just south of Lahaina.

The Turtle Reef dive is a fun dive checking out the green sea turtles and the immense variety of fish on colorful reefs. Turtle Reef is also known as Turtle Arches. A few miles south of Lahaina, the reef area is in the calm waters off Olowalu. It’s not really a deep dive, but a good one. There are literally dozens of turtles that call the area home. From small to large, the turtles grace the reef with their beauty, swimming as if there isn’t a care in the world. A great dive, if you are looking for something to do in the afternoon.
There are very few dive shops that offer afternoon dives. Lahaina Divers is one of them. Most dive companies prefer the early morning for diving as they travel across a channel that get a little rough in the afternoon. Lahaina Divers keeps it simple as they ply the coast for exceptional Maui dive sites that are rarely frequented by other dive companies.
