Hi All! First time to Hawaii and Maui. Trying to sneak a post COVID kid free mini dive trip on miles sales tickets to Maui for mid September for 4 nights. About us: late 30s/early 40s couple. We have about 120 dives, AOW and Nitrox but haven't been in the ocean since COVID, but do keep skills up as much as possible in the pool which is to say not much lol. We will probably do a refresher and some pond diving and/or aquarium diving before we go just to get some good practice. We have mainly dove Bonaire, Anilao/PG and USVI.
We love muck, shore, and boat diving and want to stick to easier diving since its been awhile and we are leaving 2 small kids at home for the first time and we very much need/want to return to. Since its such a short trip we are trying to decide if we should base out of Kihei or Lahaina. Ideally we would do a couple boat dives (maybe 1- Molokini Crater and 1- Lanai) and some shore diving ( I'm hearing some good things about Mala and Airport?). Anyway, I want to book a car (definitely need a car, right? Or should we rethink a little?) and condo soon but couldn't really tell if one or the other location was a more obvious fit. Seems like once I get that figured we can look for ops. TIA!
