Hello folks, I know you get these "where should I dive" type posts all the time, but this one might be a little different.
I have recently gotten myself a housing for my camera and have spent quite some time in the Philippines enjoying it. It looks like I might be getting a couple weeks off work and was thinking about jetting off to Maui for some more time with the camera underwater.
I'm not looking to hit up a bunch of "dive sites" or "must see" places at all, my desire is simply to hang out, maybe 10 or so dives in the SAME location, preferably shore diving so that I can explore the area and its life. I need to be comfortable sitting for as long as I need to, to get the shot I want, and I need a dive buddy that can find things for me to shoot.
In the Phils, I typically dive with a young fella that lives there. He's got a great eye for finding anything and usually he's got something interesting for me to shoot before I'm finished with the previous one. This makes my dives very profitable, and I'm looking for something like this when I get there.
So what I'm asking I guess, is for advice on how to get this, when I'm in Maui. In the Phils, I'm an unofficial local, so its pretty relaxed. But in Maui, i'm just another tourist.
Any thoughts would be appreciated,
Jason
