About This Trip
Mala Pier is an underwater wonderland. Originally a concrete pier, now beautifully collapsed and teeming with life, this site is home to schools of goatfish, resident turtles, white tip reef sharks, frogfish, and even the occasional spotted eagle ray. While Mala is accessible from shore, boat diving here means you skip the tricky entry and drop straight into the good stuff—easy, breezy, and full of photo ops.
The Pali coastline offers a variety of dive sites, each with its own charm—lava formations, swim-throughs, and calm, clear water often protected from the afternoon winds by the West Maui Mountains. It’s the perfect way to wrap up your morning underwater.
Times
Check in is at 6:15 in the morning and we return to the harbor between noon and 1:00.
More Information
This charter is for certified divers, and is also a trip that snorkelers will really enjoy. Whether you're newly certified or an old pro, our crew groups divers by experience level to make sure everyone has the best time possible. We provide light snacks, sodas, juices, and plenty of water to keep you fueled and refreshed.
**⚠️ A Few Important Notes**
Has it been more than 2 years since your last dive? If so, you MUST schedule a refresher or guided shore dive ahead of time, or hire a private guide for your boat day.
**Rental gear** is available for just $30 (includes BCD, reg, and anything else you need).
**Snorkeling on this Trip**
Snorkelers are absolutely welcome! To meet safety requirements and Coast Guard regulations, a private in-water guide is required for all snorkelers - even those who are confident and experienced in the ocean.
This adds a $299 guide fee per snorkel group. If you're booking more than one snorkeler, please call us so we can make sure you're only charged for one guide, not per person.
If you're open to sharing your guide and others sign up to snorkel the same day, we're happy to split the cost - just let us know!
**THERE IS A REQUIRED MEDICAL QUESTIONNAIRE IN YOUR WAIVER** Certified divers should view their waivers well ahead of time in case a physician's release is required to participate in scuba diving. Divers who are required to obtain a [medical release](https://mauidiamond.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/DiverMedicalForm.pdf) to dive and who show up without one (or with one that is incomplete) will be welcomed aboard as passengers but will not be able to dive and will not be refunded. We'd rather get to take you diving, so please get this done! **If you are booking for others, it is your responsibility to provide your dive buddies with the waiver link ahead of time.**
🌊 The Fine Print
We do our best to dive the sites we've advertised for the day, but ocean conditions ultimately call the shots. If needed, we’ll choose alternate sites that are just as awesome. No refunds are issued based on site changes due to weather—safety first, always.

#Aloha,
We can't wait to take you diving.
Here’s what else you need to know about your upcoming trip aboard the MAUI DIAMOND:
**BRING** your certification card, a reusable water bottle, a towel, your reef safe sunscreen, and a jacket for your surface intervals. You MUST be prepared to have fun!
**REMINDER TO ANYONE DIVING:** You need at least an 18 hour surface interval after diving and before flying or traveling to elevation (for example, zip line tours or visiting Haleakala), so please plan accordingly.
**THERE IS A REQUIRED MEDICAL QUESTIONNAIRE IN YOUR WAIVER** Certified divers should view their waivers well ahead of time in case a physician's release is required to participate in scuba diving. Divers who are required to obtain a [medical release](https://mauidiamond.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/DiverMedicalForm.pdf) to dive and who show up without one (or with one that is incomplete) will be welcomed aboard as passengers but will not be able to dive and will not be refunded.

Cancellation Policy
**We have a strictly enforced 48 HOUR CANCELLATION/RESCHEDULE POLICY:** There are no refunds for anything changed or cancelled within 48 hours of your check-in time unless we are able to rebook your spaces. Think of these reservations like concert tickets; if you can’t go, you either sell your tickets (in this case, we work to sell them for you) or you forfeit the money you paid for your tickets.
**Medical Release May be Required** Certified divers should view their waivers well ahead of time in case a physician's release is required to participate in scuba diving. Divers who are required to obtain a medical release to dive and who show up without one will be welcomed aboard as passengers but will not be able to dive nor will be refunded for their spot. **The person making the booking is responsible for sharing the waiver with everyone else on the booking.**
We cannot guarantee specific dive sites; all locations are dependent on weather conditions. Therefore, we do not issue refunds if we have to divert to a different site than the one planned for the day.
