Strap on SCUBA gear and slip into our 750,000-gallon Open Ocean exhibit. Through Shark Dive Maui, you’ll have the chance to encounter up to five species of sharks including sandbar sharks, blacktip reef sharks, whitetip reef sharks, grey reef sharks, and on most occasions a tiger shark.* Your friends and family can also watch the entire adventure from the Open Ocean viewing area and a 54-foot-long acrylic walk-through tunnel.
This cage-free, immersive experience highlights the significance of sharks in the Hawaiian culture and marine ecosystem. Many different species of sharks live in Hawai‘i’s waters, though SCUBA divers seldom encounter them. Every shark that is welcomed or released from Maui Ocean Center is blessed by Kahu Dane Maxwell, our Hawaiian Cultural Advisor, to ensure that these special animals are treated with the utmost respect and care.
*We continuously rotate our animals back to the ocean, the presence of any specific animal cannot be guaranteed.
