The Pilikai
The Pilikai is our incredible dive boat, and we are extremely proud to show it off. It is spacious, comfortable, and comes with numerous amenities. Designed specifically for our Hawaiian waters, she is set for the most comfortable diving experience possible. The Pilikai features a freshwater shower, a marine head, and under-the-seat dry storage bins for your personal items. As well we are an official PADI dive vessel.
​
Although the boat can hold a maximum of 14 passengers, we normally choose to max our capacity at 10 so you will always have ample room and a more personalized dive with your professional guides. Although we can fit more people, we choose to keep our numbers small and intimate. Island Style Diving is truly set up for comfort.
​
We are proud to announce that Island Style Diving now operates Hawaii’s newest, Authorized PADI Dive Boat, the Pilikai, out of Kihei on Maui’s Southwest shore.
