This was our first time diving in Maui as a family. My husband and I have been diving for 20 years but the kids (ages 10 & 12) were certified this year so we now dive as a family. Our last dive was over the summer in Panama. Pretty awesome, but nothing compared to Maui! First I need to tell you about Tim and then I’ll tell you about the dive. Tim is super mellow. His equipment is really nice and he fit us perfectly. Wetsuits, fins, BCD, tanks. He had a large tank for my husband and a small tank for my 10yr old (this is something we haven’t been offered before). Tim has obviously been doing this a long time and clearly knows what he is doing. He has a ton of great tips and knows how to show you a good time in & out of the water. He is fantastic with kids and pretty flexible with the timing. We are running a few min late one day and he was super chill about it. He takes his time explaining things, setting you up for the dive and totally takes care of everything for you. You just have to show up! We were very well taken care of. He takes his time to get to know you and every dive you do with him gets better & better. I highly Recommend Tim from Tiny Bubbles and when we come back to Maui we will be calling him again. Now about the dive. I mentioned earlier that my husband and I have been diving for over 20 years. Well this is true however I am a warm water lover who lives in San Francisco so we usually only dive on tropical vacations which seem to happen about once a year. We have been to Thailand, Panama, Cancun, the Bahamas, Putero Rico, all over Mexico and lots of places in the Caribbean. Not one of them was as good as our Maui dive. Partially because of Tim and his awesomeness but some of it was Maui too. We saw so many amazing fish, sea creatures, coral, turtles. We played with an octopus (thanks to Tim) a starfish, a frog fish and a family of turtles. These Maui dives by far were our favorite of all times. The visibility was nothing like we have experienced before and the amount of things we interacted with were abundant, amusing, surprising and amazing! This includes Tim :) I know there are a lot of places to dive but do t miss this one. It won’t disappoint and neither will Tim! …

We had planned to do the intro lesson with the hotel we stayed at, but the instructor broke his ankle and the lesson was cancelled. we tried a number of other instructors and had some difficulty getting ahold of any instructor, we had almost given up, when Tiny Bubbles responded. we sent our 10 year old son and my dad with this scuba instructor. they had a blast! my son wants to continue to scuba dive! my husband felt confident the instructor was able to communicate safety measures to our son, and altered the dive slightly to account for his age. We would recommend this instructor again to anyone looking for an intro to the sport.…

I rarely write reviews but have to say thanks to Tiny Bubbles and Tim for my introductory dive. The prep before is enough to calm even the most nervous beginners , we went down way deeper than I expected, and by the end of it I felt totally at ease. If you want to see whether SCUBA is for you and give yourself the best possible chance to fall in love with it on the first go, this is absolutely the place to start. Thanks again!…

Had an awesome scooter dive this week with Tim off Airport Beach. He took fantastic pictures and emailed them to me. He’s safety conscious and fun to dive with. Can’t wait to go again next May.

After coming to Maui for over 10 years, we decided to get dive certification this year! Tim was fantastic in helping calm my nerves and get us comfortable in the water. We learned our skills over 4 dives and it was much easier than expected because of Tim’s great approach. Doing the online courses and test before our vacation meant we were able to focus on learning the practical skills and enjoy the beauty of diving in Maui’s warm water. We were able to go out again in the best possible spot. Tim knew where to find clearer reef with turtles (we saw 3!) and even some eels swimming around. We will definitely dive again with Tim on our next visit!…
