How to Choose from Different Maui Scuba Diving Packages Wisely?
Scuba diving promises to be a truly thrilling though scary (to some) experience. So, you need to learn the basics, type of equipment used, and possible hazards before making your first dive. Divers must gain confidence as well as techniques and functions of the scuba diving gear. There are different Maui Scuba Diving Packages available both for neophytes and expert divers. Maui Scuba Mike offers a variety of lessons that eager divers can look forward to.
Here are a few of the packages we offer
Maui Scuba Diving Packages
Guided Scuba Dive – Great for Beginners or Returning Divers
Guided Dive is basically for beginners as young as 10 years old and above provided you have a certification from the Professional Association of Diving Instructors (PADI). Learners are mentored by certified PADI instructors. Scuba diving gear is provided inclusive of the fee. This includes the scuba diving mask and snorkel, fins, tank, and regulator.
Scooter Dive Package
Here are a few pointers when you drive this scooter:
- Come up and go down carefully.
- Rules of scuba diving are applicable for Maui scooters.
- Move in and out slowly to keep away from air pressure issues.
- Stay near your dive instructor.
- You should be aware completely of your surroundings.
- Avoid driving too fast and don’t wander away from your group.
- Being distracted puts you at the risk of getting lost and encounter depleted air supply problems.
- Don’t go deeper than you are allowed.
Scuba Mike advises all divers to keep safe distance from the ocean floor. Moving very near the bottom can awaken marine life and lead to visibility concerns for other divers.
Another course offered under Maui Scuba Diving Packages is Scooter Dive intended for divers 15 years and over. It entails the use of an underwater scooter or Diver Propulsion Vehicle (DPV) to increase your range undersea. Range is controlled by the volume of breathing gas divers can carry, consumption rate of this gas, and the underwater scooter’s battery power. It’s more for professionals and allows exploration of wrecks, caves, and reefs.
It’s easy to maneuver the DPV making this underwater vehicle the best option for certified divers with restricted mobility. Each scooter was designed for absolute comfort while you’re submerged in the water. Leisure divers can cope notwithstanding their ability to swim.
Maui Night Dive Package
Night diving is for individuals 15 years and beyond. Scuba diving at nighttime teaches the diver to concentrate on handling of lights and communication techniques. You are also trained in entering, navigating, and getting out of the dark. Finally, PADI instructors educate their students on the behavior of sea plants and creatures at night. This is a different and exciting kind of experience even for starters. In fact, this is one of the more popular among the Maui Scuba Diving Packages.
Night diving packages are all-embracing which means the gear and guide are included from the start to end. Scuba Mike has guided divers for nearly three decades and knows what it takes to make your night dive a very rewarding experience. Scuba Mike knows the best places and techniques in protecting your spotlight so you don’t encounter any illumination problem while at the bottom of the sea. Thus, you can relish this underwater journey and beautiful sights at night.
