Turtle and Shark Dive Tour Features
A Premier Dive Site
Following its destruction by Hurricane Iniki in 1992, Mala Wharf has emerged as the premier dive site on Maui. Just a short stroll from our shop, Mala boasts a vibrant ecosystem teeming with life. If your schedule allows only one dive during your island visit, this should be it. At the sunken pier, you'll encounter a diverse array of marine creatures, including turtles, sharks, bustling schools of fish, playful octopuses, graceful eels, colorful nudibranchs, and the sought-after frogfish, adding a touch of elusive charm to your underwater adventure.
Private Dives
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. The dive site will be chosen on the morning of your dive, taking into account your preferences, diving proficiency, and current water conditions. Your instructor will have the necessary gear prepared for you to try on, followed by a brief overview before you begin your underwater adventure.
With an abundance of exceptional diving spots in Maui, sometimes one dive isn't sufficient. Should you desire more exploration, we offer a second consecutive tank for an additional $50 per person.
Conservation and Sustainability
We prioritize environmental sustainability to protect the ocean for generations to come. Our commitment extends to our operations, ensuring that both our business and diving practices are environmentally responsible.
We've taken steps to reduce plastic waste by eliminating single-use plastic water bottles from our facilities and boats, opting for sustainable alternatives instead. Moreover, our staff exemplify the highest environmental standards, both on land and underwater. During our dive briefings, guests receive valuable insights on minimizing our impact on dive sites. Additionally, our team follows diving protocols that not only enhance guests' skills in the water but also foster a deep appreciation and respect for the marine environment, ensuring that every dive experience is enriching and sustainable.

Description
You plunge into the water and, after a brief surface swim, descend onto a condemned pier now transformed into a thriving reef. The wreckage is loaded with colorful corals and sponges, enveloped by swirling schools of fish.
Amid the organized chaos of turtles darting around, you scour the scene for elusive frogfish. Following your instructor, you navigate the obstacle course of the wreck, maneuvering under and through the aged dock. There, nestled beneath a section of cement, you encounter a serene sight—a pregnant reef shark, gracefully resting, fascinating you with her tranquil presence.
As you head back to the starting point, your attention is captured again by the multitude of turtles gracefully gliding through the crystal-clear waters, a fitting finale to your underwater journey.
