Shark and Turtle Dive for Certified Divers from Shore
What your day looks like
Since being destroyed by Hurricane Iniki in 1992, Mala Wharf has become the best dive site on Maui. A quick walk from our shop, Mala is home to so much life that if you only have time for one dive while on the island, this should be it. In addition to turtles and sharks, the sunken pier is home to large schools of fish, octopus, eels, nudibranchs, and the elusive but popular frogfish! The Dive Maui team loves diving, and all of our dives have the potential to be one hour long, air permitting. Unless otherwise requested, all our shore dives are conducted on 80s (standard-size tanks), which means you can expect close to an hour underwater. 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. Smaller groups make it easier for your PADI professional to give you individualized attention and point out the cool stuff.
The experience, in brief

- Encounter white tip reef sharks, and more on our favorite shore dive at Mala Wharf
- Swim among turtles, sharks, octopus, eels, nudibranchs, and the elusive frogfish
