So happy I... read more picked this company for the dive compared with others that seem less focused on safety and experience. Highly recommend Extended Horizons!!

Our... read more crew of Victoria, Emma and Chris were all very nice and helpful and insured our dives would be a great time. We could tell that there was a genuine care for the environment, and our guides made sure to point out everything during our dives. When we surfaced they explained everything and made sure we knew what we saw. On top of all that, while on the boat the crew took care of all the gear switches and made sure we had everything we needed. We would definitely come back and use Extended Horizons again and recommend it to anyone looking to dive on the island.

I was so completely comfortable going out on both dives with them. They made sure to point out the sea life with total attentiveness.

  I went on twilight and night dives with Shelby and a couple of other guests. We went to Kahekili Beach just before sunset and went out for about 45-50... read more minutes at between 35 and 45 feet. We saw plenty of fish, some eels, an octopus, and even a ray off in the distance. We returned to the water after dark for another 45 minutes (25-30 feet) and got to see an array of sea life, including urchins, blood worms, the beady eyes of shrimp reflecting in the lights, and when we turned off the lights, some pretty cool bioluminescent critters darting all around us. Special thanks to Shelby for helping me with my awkwardness getting in and out (not a big fan of the shore dives!) and to Emma who helped me with my nitrox certification earlier in the day (didn't need the nitrox for this dive, but I wanted to get certified for next time).

  My wife and I did our advanced open water certification with Extended Horizons and could not be happier with our experience. They were extremely helpful over the phone in terms... read more of scheduling, talking about dives, e-learning, and pricing. Once on Maui, our instructor Chris was exceptional. He was very attentive to our diving and had many great tips and insights beyond the material strictly covered by the PADI course. We also appreciated all of the work he did to set up our gear and haul it around. The dive sites used for the course were all shores dives and were well suited for the course. I highly recommend doing Wreck as one of the AOW dives as we got to do Mala Pier which was a fantastic dive. The night dive at Black Rock was also amazing. Overall this was a highly professional and educational experience and we would absolutely recommend doing dive training with Extended Horizons, particularly if Chris is available!

  We happened upon Extended Horizons by recommendation as other plans fell through. They were extremely gracious in arranging semi-last minute reservations. The equipment was in excellent condition and everyone was... read more very nice. Our dive master, Gu, was amazing!! He was very knowledgeable and constantly was pointing out fish/site on our dive (even writing on a magnetic board underwater!) This was our first shore dive so we were a bit hesitant but it was the best decision as our dives were the best we have ever been on! The beautiful complete rainbow over the ocean at the beginning of the day was an omen of how perfect it turned out to be!!

  My favorite dive shop is Extended Horizons; it is difficult to explain why but perhaps this review will help. They don’t sell dive gear. Well, they have a little,... read more but it certainly isn’t a significant part of their business. What I think they specialize in, is taking small groups on great boat and/or shore dives. This year’s trip to Maui, I went on two shore dives with Maiah (I hope I’m spelling her name correctly). There was only one other diver with us. We visited/dove both Airport Beach (Kahekili) and Mala Pier (Wharf) Oct 7, 2021. Maiah ensured we entered the water at the easiest locations (we were both in our sixties), I was in a brand new 5-3 full wetsuit that I bought just the day before from another dive shop. I knew I would need extra weight because of the new suit but still underestimated by a full 6 pounds; thankfully Maiah had the extra weight on her (Yikes). So yes, great dives to break in a new wet suit, but also great dives to see turtles (including an active cleaning station with at least 5 sea turtles relaxing while being cleaned by wrasse fish), nudibranchs, frog fish, and sleeping reef sharks. I had been away from Maui for a few years, and the last time I dived Maui was in January 2019. Many of the same people that I dived before with Extended Horizons were still there, and had that same great Aloha Spirit I remembered. Over the years, I have dived with five different companies on Maui, and I have nothing but good things to say about the professionalism of each. I can say I had a great time with all of them; however, I am saying this to emphasize that Extended Horizons is my favorite, and there is something very special about the vibe I get when I am diving with them. Perhaps it is that they only take out very small groups, perhaps it is I think they may all be ocean marine biologists on the side, or maybe if it wasn’t for dive computers, they would have lost count of the thousands of dives they each have done. Maybe it is because their people like Victoria, told me when I needed new equipment and where to buy it, or how I might get even more enjoyment out of little changes I could make it how I wore my equipment. Maybe it is also that Eric took the time (I suspect hours including multiple phone calls) to correct my records with PADI. Somehow my date of birth on record was 1857 instead of 1957, and that extra hundred years was confusing things. Now it is all straight, and all my certs show up including that Altitude one I picked up years ago at Lake Tahoe. Yes, I really do like Extended Horizons, so sorry about this very long gushy review, and I hope you try them too.

Great people, great adventure, great fun - highly recommend Extended Horizons to anyone looking into scuba while on Maui, and if you're looking to certify Maiah is an outstanding instructor and even better person to work with!

If this is your first time diving you'll be in excellent hands. If you're an experienced diver you'll appreciate their efficiency and ability to work with all divers!

All of them were focused on making it a terrific and safe experience. Dive briefings were thorough and their attention to detail was amazing. Their local knowledge and expertise let them point out different sea life that made the dive even more enjoyable. They even had a binder in the boat, full of pictures and details to show during our surface interval. I booked last minute and they were as friendly and accommodating on the phone before hand as they were when I arrived at the shop. Great operators to dive with!

  25 years, at LEAST one week a year we've been diving with Erik & Extended Horizons...except 2020 & 1/2 of this year. We have made and cancelled at least... read more 5 trips. But we finally made it back and if you don't think a great dive operation can't get better, you HAVEN'T dove with Extended Horizons recently. Everyone has had a vacc or they don't work on the boat. Baggles & peanut butter is gone with individual meals/snacks in their place (gawd we miss it). Victoria even felt sorry for us and took us over to Shark Fin and then back to the usual haunts people come to Maui for - Cathedral 1, 2. Once underwater you've got the best guides on the Island and topside they're just great. Had to go to the shop while there and Erik put the down time to great use. It is so freakin organized, it's beautiful so you know the boat and crew are the same. All we can say is get your shots, jump thru the state's paperwork hoops and book as many dives as you can. After a year plus of no dive time the wife said go everyday you can...WE ARE! The waters warm, the water is clear, the crew is awesome!

  I've been diving with several of the dive shops on Maui, and Extended Horizons is by far my favorite dive shop. I dove Lanai Cathedrals with them over a year... read more ago and had a great experience--small groups, knowledgeable dive masters, and eco friendly. Came back to take some of their conservation courses, and again had the best experience. My divemaster, Maiah, is extremely knowledgeable and fun to dive with. The team puts in 110% effort to make the experiences one of a kind.

  We had already done a few scheduled dives with a different dive operator. Our sons really wanted to do some additional dives but Maui was slammed and everywhere was... read more sold out. Extended Horizons was one of the few places that had a few open dives. We normally prefer boat dives but beggars can't be choosers. 🙂 I was immediately impressed with Extended Horizons because of the fantastic communication during scheduling. The owner answered all of my questions and helped me choose dives based on our sons' diving experience. We decided on a two-tank sunset/night dive. The morning of our dives, the owner contacted us to say conditions were poor and reschedule us for a different day. Again, I was so impressed with the transparency AND pre-emptive actions of the owner. We decided to try again the next night but switched to only a night dive based on availability. When we arrived at the warehouse to get gear, Maiah made the whole process simple and efficient. We learned we were going to dive the pier b/c of conditions. We weren't thrilled b/c we had already done that dive in the daytime but were so glad the dive masters were relying on conditions to make the dive selection. My husband and I are experienced divers and have done soooo many poor dives in terrible conditions b/c dive operators just wanted to get us under the water and take the money. Extended Horizons was exactly the opposite. They are obviously a top-notch operation. Our night dive was good; the boys were thrilled with the nighttime experience. Maiah did an excellent job of taking care of us and making sure we saw everything we could. All in all -- we HIGHLY recommend Extended Horizons. They are a class act!

  We went on the A.M. Lanai trip Jan. 23. There were 9 divers and 2 dive masters. The boat is nice and fast. Captain Mark was professional and friendly. Our... read more dive master was Victoria. She says she has around 8500 dives under her (weight) belt. She was friendly, helpful and truly interested in you having a good experience. She was very educational before and after each dive, pointing out habits and behaviors of many critters. They have a couple of large laminated notebooks full of pictures we talked about before and after the dives. She also carries a large magnetic slate to name/communicate what some of the less common things are. We dove 2nd Cathedrals first. Ours was the only boat there and they beautifully choreographed the two groups so as not to cause a traffic jam. 2nd Cathedral has really interesting formations and was fun to dive through. Tip: bring a dive light if you have one. Victoria carries a strong Sola light to point things out, but having your own is a bonus, not to navigate, but just to see things better in low light. Second dive was at Sargent Major. Great wildlife and clear water. Consensus on the boat was 80-120 feet. We rented their shorty wetsuits, which were fine in 77 degree water, even for my wife, otherwise we had our own gear so I can't comment on that. Other than asking us to snap our own weight pockets into our BCD's, they took care of everything else quickly and efficiently. Five stars from us and we can see why so many other people feel the same way.

Enjoyed the personal chat with the dive crew, Victoria and Jennifer, as they wanted to understand your dive aspirations for the day and it also allowed them to gauge each person's experience to determine grouping appropriate people together. This was key to the dives being enjoyable. Enjoyed the post dive reviews with the picture catalogues and biology to what we sighted during our dives. Was delighted with the extensive knowledge both dive instructors had and how willing they were to share their knowledge. Will recommend this dive operations to all divers visiting Maui.
Will certainly connect with them again on our next visit to Maui. 5-Star dive experience.

  We went for a dive with our family. Shelby and Gu were attentive, careful, and great fun! We saw turtles and schools of fish among the coral.
