    Kihei v Lahaina 4 Nights

    For the longest time I hated the midday traffic in and out of Lahaina. Kihei was always better. This year the traffic in Kihei was just as bad in town. Highway is still better around Kihei, but much worse than 15 years ago. I dived with Ed Robinson forever and always enjoyed the dives. Ed...

    molokini backwall or crater

    Back wall is great, but a drop in on Reef’s End is a great dive. Both of these dives are normally live entry and exit, compared to moored. Reef’s end live entry is outside the crater. Lots of cool critters and if your air consumption is good, there is a shark cleaning station at the end of...

    July Trip to Maui

    Thought that was going to occur when I visited in February. I had great dives, until my last day when Dave F. called off. I was certain at the time that he was going to leave. Still my favorite dive guide. Saw a Humpback underwater off Reef's End, reverse current, this year. Any idea where...

    Dive Maui Hammerhead Dive

    Hey Steve; Is there a time of year when the hammerheads are more prevalent? Can't get away from my February visits. Looks like you made the move to stay on Maui. Must have been 2012 when I dived with you in the rain. Dennis

    Hawaii recommendations: Oahu & Maui

    I agree with Ed Robinson. The crew is great at spotting critters and they run advanced dives if that is your desire. Also agree with the Kihei location. Quick trip to Molokini from there.l
  6. Montana Diver

    New to diving and looking for recommendations for shops to dive with in Kihei HI.

    I have to agree with Dive Maven. I like the Ed Robinson crew. They will watch out for you if you tell them you are new. They always find some new critters for me to photograph. I have never been on the Scuba Shack boat, due to the comments here, so I don't know if they are as bad as the are...

    First trip

    My wife and I started going to Maui 12 years ago and go every year. We flew to Oahu to see the Arizona memorial which I thought was a great trip. Three of our parents were in WWII. Unfortunately we did not venture far from Honolulu, which is just a very big city for us Montana hicks. Maui...

    Maui Shore Dives

    Off the north edge of Kihei, there is a Hellcat in about 40". The dive has very little to offer in terms of coral, but the hellcat is a nice dive. It was discovered only 4-5 years ago. Guessing it is a mile offshore. Best off a boat, I am not certain of the DPV range of Maui Scooter Dives...

    Bcd Question

    I had a rolling issue on my first drysuit dive. Overweighted and drysuit too large. I corrected both of those issues and love my BPW. Dive it all the time. Have you done a weight check with a 500 PSI tank. That will help you with how much to add. I dive a DUI weight harness and like how it...

    Hey Bill: I sent you a phone text and haven't heard back. Looking to dive on Monday and Tuesday next week. Dennis

    Finally taking the plunge

    I agree. The resort is more interested in getting you through the course rather than spending the time to teach you how to become a proficient diver. Take as much locally as possible. Do your open waters at the destination/

    Hawaii rookie

    My wife and I love Maui. Good diving and Great Beaches. The entire west side of Maui is great for beaches. From the resorts in the north to the city beaches in Kihei, you can't go wrong. Coconuts in Kihei is our go to lunch spot! Lahaina and north of that is more resort area/tourist. We have...

    Headed to HI (Kauai, Maui) Dive Tip/Suggestions?

    This critter was at Molokini Reef's End. One of my favorite dives. It's an easy drift dive around the West edge of the crater. Dive starts inside and the drift is easy enough that I was able to snap several shots of this conical shell critter eating a Crown of Thorns. I am going back to...
