You heard it here! “Best boat crew around!” We love helping make the conservation work happen. Mahalo Maui Nui Marine Resource Council for all you do to care for our ocean!

We love working with our partners to care for Maui’s reef!

What you know, you love. What you love, you protect.
We believe in helping more people experience and appreciate our underwater world, and in supporting conservation and research to mālama (care for) these areas.
We’ve been proud to partner with Pacific Whale Foundation to support their coral reef surveys off of Lahaina and Olowalu. Bri takes in the underwater beauty on the way back from surveying one of their sites.

Have you experienced green sea turtles while diving or snorkeling? Does it leave you grinning from ear to ear? It does for us—doesn’t matter how many times we’ve experienced them!

Sometimes the mooring ball can be a delight all on its own!

It’s such a special feeling to help this family's dream come true!

07/04/2024

Summer snorkeling! So fantastic sharing Maui’s underwater beauty with this family! Why crowd onto a boat with a bunch of strangers when you can have the whole boat just for your group?

When you spot a Frogfish, and then later, looking at your photos, realize there were TWO frogfishes! Comment if you see them both!

Who’s been to the Cathedrals of Lāna’i and had it all to yourself?

We love helping families scuba dive together!
“The owners, Mikal and Maggie made this two-excursion dive trip the best they could possibly be. They knew where to go and brought the equipment and food to make our time together simply wonderful. The dive instructor, Rose was knowledgeable and friendly; refreshing experienced divers and facilitating our daughter’s Open Water Scuba Certification. Each dive was better than the next, seeing and swimming with Maui’s indigenous fish, coral, turtles and even a white tipped reef shark. Truly exceeded our expectations!”

03/20/2024

Congratulations to our newest Open Water diver, Austin! After completing her confined water dives in a lake, she came to Maui with her parents to complete her certification aboard our boat. The whole family refreshed their scuba skills, and now, they are a scuba diving family! We love providing this sort of personalized experience, and we love seeing families dive together!

Our ocean never ceases to amaze.

02/22/2024

There has been so much magic out on the waters—and such crystal clear waters the last two days! This frisky calf swam by the boat this morning. Notice the spreading “footprint” from when the calf’s powerful fluke kick displaces water! We’re used to seeing these slicks on top of the water, but it is also beautiful from below! This calf heads out on the long journey to Alaska only about 5 weeks after being born.

(Also, volume on for whalesong!)

I can’t wait to see the footage Daniel Sullivan Photography took of this moment too!

What a day it was, both under and above the water.
Also, listen for the whales!
Join us to snorkel or scuba at Olowalu, Maui’s “Mother Reef,” identified by Dr Sylvia Earle as a Mission Blue Hope Spot. The diversity of coral here is amazing. This area provides coral larvae for the surrounding islands.

After the mother humpback dives, watch for the calf and two dolphins! 💙🐋🐋🐬💙
We were just returning from our scuba trip, and the whales kept putting on a show!

02/10/2024

“Can we listen to the whales again?” they asked! On our private charters, you get to help us deploy the hydrophone so we can eavesdrop on the whalesong filling the ocean this time of year. 💙🐋🎶💙

When three generations scuba dive together for the first time…

Mom and calf completely surprised us when they breached—and then swam right under our boat! Here’s a taste of that beautiful moment.

There was a whale directly under the boat—watch to the end to see it surface!

Today three playful juvenile male humpback whales were curious about our boat. At the beginning of the video, if you look closely you can see the whale under the water… and then it blows a jet of bubbles all around us before surfacing and diving, fluke and all! With Trish Huneycutt

The graceful majesty of the humpback whales. They often seem to be more active when the seas are a little rough!

Yesterday we took a group of intrepid photographers out to whale watch. We found a very active group of whales! Photographer Daniel Sullivan guided their attention. Captain Mikal kept the boat positioned for maximum stability and good angles, and Dr Amber Iverson interpreted the behavior. We can’t wait to see their photographs!

Daniel Sullivan Photography gets the shot! We love seeing photography happen aboard our boat. Check out the previous post for his stunning photos of this competition pod!

Sound on! We could hear the whalesong right through the hull of our Maui Pacific Divers boat. This was some of the most powerful and magical whalesong I’ve heard.

I looked down, and the whale was swimming under the boat…

The whales have arrived!

Such a special encounter with humpback whales today on our private charter whale watch!

Diving and snorkeling off Lana’i

Second Cathedrals off of Lana’i is a gem! This shot isn’t from inside the lava tube, but of other explorations around the reef. Brilliant visibility, no other boats, and so many fish! Divers below, snorkeler above, and our captain aboard Paikea! Everyone in the family is happy! Did I mention, our boat can get to Lana’i in only an hour? (Except when we come upon whales or dolphins, of course!🐬🐋🐬 On THIS DAY, it was bottle nose dolphins and whales! It looked like the dolphins were pestering the humpbacks!)

Flying Fish off Maui’s Coast

Flying fish are straight out of Avatar! These mālolo, as they’re called in Hawaiian, were startled by our passing boat and put on an incredible display in the morning light. It’s moments like these that make being on the water so awe-inspiring!
