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.

  A good, safety conscious, eco-friendly dive company. The dive guides know the critters and their behaviours really well.
Lots of rules about how to get off and back on... read more the boat which as an experienced diver I found constraining and kind of uptight.

  My daughter and I did the double morning dive with Extended Horizons. Dive sites were The Lighthouse and the Second Cathedral. All crew were friendly, helpful and professional throughout... read more the day. 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.

First, we entered at Kahekili Park. It was a group of 3 other divers, Chris, and me. We saw one of the rare and endangered turtles of the area whose name I have forgotten. These creatures are rare enough that they each have their own unique names! We saw lots of multicolored fish too numerous to count. We went to our second dive location, Mala Pier, which was literally like the lost city of Atlantis. The pier had been made using seawater for the cement. I guess that's not as solid as freshwater? Anyway, the pier collapsed into the ocean creating it's own reef! Here, we saw a "cleaning station" with 8 common turtles. On this dive, we also found an octopus, lots of striped shrimp, and so many others! Ya gotta go on these dives and ya gotta ask for Chris! I'm looking forward to returning with my sons to let them have the experience! Great job Chris and Extended Horizons SCUBA!

  I’ve dived with EH several times now, and each time they have been top notch. The captain Chris was super thorough, and they were SO professional but friendly.
Great dive... read more gear, excellent dive masters; Victoria has been with them 20 years. Met the owner, and he was super nice and cared deeply that we had a great time.

They really knew their stuff; not one issue from beginning to end. I highly recommend them if you are going to dive Maui.

  We can’t say enough good things about this trip! From the moment we checked in at the boat ramp we felt like we were in great hands and had the... read more best time. Captain Mark and his crew Lauren and Chris were excellent dive guides and we appreciated both the before dive and after dive briefings to give us a heads up on what we could expect to see. Both of them were knowledgeable about not just diving but also a lot of the marine life we saw. The sites on Lanai were also much less crowded than other sites we’ve dove on Maui (Molokini) - we were the only boat at the first site. It made the entire experience that much better. Would definitely recommend!

  Our first dive of the trip was with Parker. He was an enthusiastic guide who pointed out all kinds of sea animals to us including nudibranchs, reef sharks, turtles... read more sleeping in caves, and my personal favorite, the Hawaiian Dascyllus. At the Mala Pier, we saw the turtle cleaning station where sea turtles come and get cleaned by local fish, and continue on their way, it was awesome to see so many turtles in one location. Thanks for a wonderful dive Parker!

  We joined Captain Arica, Jason and Lauren for the Lana'i cathedral dive and were not disappointed. They are professional, fun, and knowledgeable. We got to see all kinds... read more of sea animals, including giant moray eels, white tipped reef sharks, a frogfish (rare), and a lone great barracuda hovering near a mooring ball. The undersea cavern which is the cathedral was amazing, my description wouldn't give it justice, so I'll just say go see it for yourself! They're an environmentally conscious company, and are respectful of the wildlife and the ocean. Thanks again for a wonderful experience to our dive guide Lauren.

  The 1st Cathedral was amazing and we saw many of the species we were hoping to see on this dive. The staff is amazing and puts safety and the environment... read more at the top of all they do. I greatly appreciated the dives and the company's focus!

First day we dove cathedral #2 and on the second trip we dove cathedral #1. ... read more Dive sites were spectacular with great visibility. Dive guides and boat captain were great. One of the things that sets Extended Horizons apart is that they make an effort after each dive to review your dive and discuss the things you saw (with pictures of the fish, coral, and animals).

We... read more used 2 dive companies this trip and for the same price Maui Dive Shop offered a lot more. They offered free pickup, hot food, drinks, better staffing, nicer equipment, towels, diver log information, showers, and even cold fresh water towels.
The staff at Extended Horizons was great, the dive was great, but if I could do it over again I would use Maui Dive Shop

  This dive trip was amazing. The crew was incredible, very knowledgeable and safety minded. I recommend this excursion. Have an excellent time!!!

  I had such a wonderful time scuba diving with Extended Horizons. The instructors were excellent and the experience was incredible. Hope to go diving with them again soon!

Johnny was a wonderful guide and showed us great sites, including sharks and lots of sea turtles. He made the experience fun. We also learned a lot about endemic fish species.

Made sure he was comfortable completing skills before moving on to rest of dive. Would definitely recommend for anyone who wants to try diving and is nervous about it.

  Completed 4 fantastic days of diving with Extended Horizons, where the crew went out of their way to make for a phenomenal dive experience. The briefings included not only what... read more the site was, but what marine life we could expect to see, where to look for it, and some history of the site. With a max of 11 divers it makes for a much more relaxed experience, and you never feel like you are being rushed. During the dive the guides will point out marine life, and try to make sure everyone gets a chance to observe it. The smaller groups make everything underwater much more relaxing.

If you want a fantastic day of relaxing diving, book with Extended Horizons, you will not be disappointed. More

  I really liked these guys. The crew/staff was very pleasant the entire trip, but also very very organized.

Lots can go wrong and I want to be with a crew that minds their P’s and Q’s. These guys were just that. Very kind in their approach, but make no mistake, they have a well thought out process to follow, and it is effective. It was the most confidence I’ve had in crew in regards to setting up my tank and reg, getting us in the water safely, and getting us out safely. All in all I cant think of anything I would have changed. More

The day of the dive my group instructor was Parker and we can’t say enough about him. He was patient and fun and really was great with me as I am a new diver and was uncertain about my abilities.

Thanks for a great first experience... I will never forget this trip!❤️
