Shorty wetsuits

Anyone know where I can rent a shorty wetsuit on Maui? Staying up in Honopilani area but the Snorkel Bobs nearby doesn’t carry.

If you’re looking to rent a shorty wetsuit on Maui, especially around the Ka’anapali or Honopilani area, there are a few options to consider since some nearby shops like Snorkel Bob’s don’t carry them.

Local Dive and Water Sports Shops:

  • Maui Dive Shop (Lahaina): They often rent wetsuits, including shorty styles, for snorkeling and diving. Lahaina is about a 10–15 minute drive from Ka’anapali, so fairly convenient.
  • Maui Dive & Snorkel (Lahaina or Kihei locations): Offers wetsuit rentals for short durations, usually daily rentals. They can advise on sizing and availability.
  • Maui Ocean Center Dive Shops: While primarily associated with tours, some shops near the Ka’anapali area rent shorty wetsuits for snorkeling and reef exploration.

Surf Shops:

  • Many local surf shops in Lahaina, Ka’anapali, and Napili carry shorty wetsuit rentals. Examples include Maui Surfer Girls or Down the Hatch Surf Shop. It’s best to call ahead to confirm stock.

Tips:

  • Always call ahead to confirm availability, sizing, and daily rental fees.
  • Some rental shops may offer package deals if you’re renting snorkel gear along with the wetsuit.
  • Check for flexible return times if you only need the wetsuit for a few hours.

With these options, you should be able to find a shorty wetsuit within a short drive from Honopilani. Lahaina-based shops are probably your best bet for availability and variety.
