While you can check out the beauty of the underwater world by snorkeling, or snuba, there’s nothing quite like being able to descend into the deep and spend hours marveling at the wonders of the ocean world. Molokini is one of the most famous dive spots in the US, with clear water up to 150 to 200 feet! Some places also offer night dives where you can explore what all the ocean critters are up to when the sun goes down for the day. Lanai is another popular destination, with endless reefs and crystal clear water.

If you’ve never been, you’ll need to get certified first before you can go on dives out into the ocean. Your best bet is to call these companies to find out more about the trips they offer and what requirements they have for scuba divers visiting the island of Maui.
