Our Story

  We arrived early. They allowed us to get our gear ready. Our first shore dive. Dive guide was very knowledgeable and carried an underwater slate to write down the marine... read more life we were seeing. Showed us the best way to enter the ocean for a shore dive. Great dive company. We were sad the dive boat was out of commission. Would have booked more dives with Extended Horizons.

  First time scuba experience, did the Intro Shore Dive with Bruce. Cannot say enough about how great he was working with my cautious 12 year old to get through the... read more diving skills portion, to make our first experience awesome! The reef was amazing and we felt very relaxed on our first dive!! We both loved it and are talking about getting certified in the future! If you are on the fence - book it - well worth it for the price!!

  Amazing first time scuba diving experience! - Our Dive Master, Bruce was amazing. This was our first scuba diving experience. And Bruce was very thoughtful, patient with our first time scuba experience. We can’t wait to do... read more this again, next time when we have the opportunity. Highly recommend Extended Horizons and especially our instructor Bruce. Great time in the water. Amazing fish and corals and for us overcoming the fear of going to the bottom of the ocean was priceless. Great job! Thank you!

  Extended Horizons is an absolutely fantastic company to book your next dive with! My husband and I are relatively new divers and it had been a few years since we... read more went diving so we started off with a refresher dive with Gabi, who was calm and patient with us. She studied marine conservation and being biologists ourselves, we were super excited to have her point out /write down the names of all the wonderful endemic and rare species we saw. We had such a fun time with her! We then proceeded to take the advanced open water course which included 5 dives with Gustavo. I started off with a little bit of anxiety, as our open water instructor in Belize never taught us how to put our gear together. Gustavo was an amazingly patient and wonderful teacher, making sure we were comfortable and confident every step of the way. He gave us multiple scenarios before each dive so that we would be prepared in any situation. We had so much fun and saw so many amazing species in the process. We even had a National Geographic moment on the pier wreck dive, where we saw about 30 green sea turtles in a cuddle puddle getting cleaned by wrasses. And go look up a frog fish-I was blown away by those little creatures. Thank you Gabi and Gustavo and Extended Horizons! We will definitely be back to dive with you in the future!!

  Gu was our instructor and he did a fantastic job! Tailored our time to what we were comfortable with. We saw amazing fish, 2 coral reefs, eels, and... read more a turtle! It was our first time scuba diving in the ocean and he made it feel really easy. Would definitely book with this company again. Excellent!!

The dive at Mala Ramp was awesome and Steven found... read more the frog fish that I remember from this location. Also lots of turtles and a resting black tipped reef shark I would certainly recommend and this was my second time wi

  Our scuba instructor was Phil. He was awesome! He carefully explained everything so we felt comfortable. Our 12 year old son was not nervous once he heard Phil explain everything.... read more Phil made certain we saw all the best fish, had an underwater board to write on to tell us details of fish or creatures and kept a close eye on us. We enjoyed it so much, we stayed for an additional dive immediately after the first one! This was our first dive and we loved it. We even had a pod of whales swim above us and they were SO loud! Phil held a great recap on the shore after the dives and taught us even more. We will call and ask for Phil next year!

  Fantastic Class - This class was great. Informative, serious and at a good pace. If you are nervous about scuba, they will carefully explain every detail.

  Rachael was thorough and a competent guide offering to cater to what I wanted to see and do. Thank you for a wonderful experience.

  Phillip, our instructor, did just a fantastic job with my two sons who took their first dive off of Kahekili Beach. The classroom instruction was organized, relevant, and easy... read more to understand for them. The equipment was great and also well organized. We will be diving again when we return next year and will definitely ask for Phillip. Thank you!

I love the staff at extended horizons Rachel... read more is so experienced in marine biology as well as making you feel safe in and out of the water. I remain very loyal to extended horizons not just because they have amazing Dive Master’s, but Eric and Victoria go out of their way to help you have the best diving experience possible.
The night dive at Black rock should never be missed. Truly epic.! They also run their boats on bio-Fuel and their T-shirts are made out of recycled water bottles. I bought a T-shirt there 3 years ago and it’s still one of the most comfortable. Amazing T-shirts I own. I also love that they have a great sense of humor as well as being very professional and SAFE!! Mahalo and much appreciation from your loyal and silly friend- Michelle D from SB FYI- I could hear the whale singing on every dive so spiritua!!!I could hear the whale singing on every dive so spiritual

Thank you

  I always do a thorough vetting before choosing a dive charter because of thr inherent risks of the activity and wanting to get the most out of the dive experience.... read more I found several outfits in Maui but settled on Extended Horizons after looking at comments on multiple platforms (trip adisor, FB, yelp) and was extremely happy with my choice. Our team consisited of Capt Andy , Victoria and Rachel. I cannot say enough about ths team. Their passion for their work is clearly evident and their proffesionalism and attention to safety where clearly on display. The cathedralds did not disappoint and saw an abundance of wildlife that I normally would have swam right past if not for our guides. Living in Florida I am exposed to a lot of dive charters and I can say with out a doubt Extended Horizons is a top notch operation. Staff, equipment, boat were all top notch and well maintained. This wasnt just a dive but really a educational seminar on diving in Maui.

  What a super company, wonderful staff and great dive together. The very professional team did everything well, had great briefings, perfect equipment, excellent safety procedures and were wonderful guides to... read more superb dive sites. One of the best dive companies I have ever gone with. Highly recommended! Thank you Team Extended Horizons!

All the staff did everything possible to make the... read more experience for my son and I safe and enjoyable.
Dive masters Rebeca and Victoria very knowledgeable about the dive sites we went to, the fish we where going to see then reviewed after each dive what we did see.
They really took the time during the dive to go slow and point things out.
Captain Mike was excellent in helping with gear, on and off the boat and providing a great snack between dives!

  Brad was our guide and he did the best job. 3 young adults with no experience and their dad with minimal experience. It has been our favorite excursion on Maui.... read more The kids want to go again and want to get certified so they are able to go more often. Brad was fun, patient, easy going, knowledgeable, just everything you could ask for in a guide. If you enjoy being in the water this is a must do with this group. This company keeps the group sizes small which is awesome. It makes the experience even better.

  I went diving with Victoria, Rachel and boat captain Andy on the Lanai two-dive trip. Of the many dive trips I've done with many operators, Extended Horizons stands out... read more above all others! Booking was easy, they were very well organized, they engaged us on our experience and interests before the dive, they provided thorough dive site overviews and their underwater tour guiding was fantastic. We saw tons of interesting animals, including many I have never seen anywhere else. In between dives they share a lot about animals and on the way back they go over all of the animals we saw, in detail. Above all, safety comes first and they made a point of knowing everyone's names, gear, interests, etc. Truly a five-star dive experience and we will certainly go back out with Extended Horizons on our next Maui trip!!!

  Poor experience with instructor - We did the introductory beginner lesson, we had a group of first timers as well as one with water fear, instructor didn’t do a good job helping assisting or directing... read more the group, we had lots of questions and she would get annoyed or give a passive aggressive response. I have done this before in California had such a better experience. We didn’t see any sea animals and coral was dead blurry just wasn’t great first time experience for most in the group. I don’t recommend this to anyone based on our experience. But Brad did a good job with training prior to scuba diving and helpful as well with any questions.

  My sons, 13 and 14 years old, and I went diving with Extended Horizons over 4 different days to complete our Advanced Open Water Dive certification which included classes in... read more Peak Buoyancy, Navigation, Fish ID, Night Diving, and Deep Diving and also a couple of "just for fun" dives. Brad, our instructor, was absolutely fantastic. He was both cool enough for the boys and also highly safe and knowledgeable. It was a FABULOUS experience and I highly recommend Extended Horizons. Our boat captain, Victoria, our boat Captain, and Gabby, the other dive master on the boat, were also great - answering questions from my kids and myself with ease and lots of inclusivity.

Since the boys have been certified for 3 years, we have been diving with a number of different companies. I research the companies we dive with thoroughly and ask a million questions - these are my kids after all. I can tell you Brad and Extended Horizons are definitely tops in our book. Dive with them, you will be glad you did!

  I have been on numerous dives with Extended Horizons and their great crew. Each experience has been wonderful and memorable. Small dive groups, educational, fun and entertaining. Myself and friends... read more have used them for first dives after initial certification and have felt very comfortable and now feel more at ease with diving in other parts of the world. Will definitely use again on future visits to Hawaii.

  Excellent diving experience with these folks! We did two gorgeous dives at Lanai (Wash Rock and 2nd Cathedral), with tons of wildlife to watch. Importantly, they do this extremely thorough... read more post dive debriefing where they go in details over everything we saw (see pics). As a biologist, I was in Heaven! Captain Victoria and Gabi are both extremely knowledgeable and happy to share their experience with us, and Brad is on his way to become an awesome guide too. Dive-wise, the pace was great, with plenty of time to appreciate cool fish behaviors. The cherry on top was to see whales and dolphins on our way to the dive spots 🙂 Gabi was on top of everyone’s status at all times and making sure we were OK. I used their steel 100 tank, which was a great option for a bit more air. Their boat runs on biodiesel from recycled cooking oil, and their shop is 100% solar powered. I cannot recommend these folks highly enough, and I’m looking forward to my next dive with them!

  Our instructor, Brad was amazing! It was great only being in a group of 4. Made it easy to feel safe and more one on one if needed without having... read more to wait for an entire group. The education part was super quick and not overwhelming. 10/10 would recommend.

  I was left scrambling when another dive company I had reserved canceled on me. Thankfully extended horizons moved things around for me and fit us in last minute. ... read more My 10 year old son and I were able to get certified with Brad over the course of 3 relaxed days.
