Maui’s Kihei shoreline offers shore-diving that reads like a primer on why the island is prized by underwater explorers: calm water, good visibility and a gentle, sloping sandy bottom that makes entries and exits straightforward. Guided by experienced local instructors, these beach dives compress an intimate sample of Hawaiian reef life into an efficient, two-hour outing.
