OUR STAFF

TINY BUBBLES SCUBA, INC. established  1998

Owned and Operated by Divers, for Divers

Tiny Bubbles Scuba started at The Ka’anapali Beach Club back in 1998, at the time it was called The Embassy Suites Resort.

Located in Honokawai, “West Maui” HI, we cater to the scuba diver who wants to dive in small groups with an experienced and knowledgeable guide to show them all that Maui has to offer underwater.

At Tiny Bubbles Scuba we specialize in taking our time, going slow, and doing whatever we can to make your dive experience as enjoyable as possible.  We are a “YES” company, striving to exceed your expectations!

Tiny Bubbles Scuba instructors are all PADI and SDI instructors with over 30 yrs. experience in Scuba Diving Around The Globe.

Our motto is: “LET’S GET TANKED” – We are Always Available, We will do what we can to get you underwater!
