Maui Divers Jewelry



Maui Divers of Hawaii was founded in 1958 in Lahaina, Maui, once a bustling whaler's port. The company began by escorting adventurous visitors on underwater excursions to view the island's exotic ocean environment.



A fishing expedition led Maui Divers to the discovery of one of the ocean's finest treasures, Hawaiian black coral, considered to be the most lustrous coral in the world. A year later, utilizing controlled harvesting to ensure the future of the resource, the company began designing, manufacturing, and selling Hawaiian black coral jewelry.
