Maui Trip report Aug 30-Sept 20th

[StuartT]

So I spent 20 days on Maui with my wife and managed to get 17 dives in over 9 of the days. Did 2-3 tank and 1-2 tank charter with Ed Robinsons, a scooter dive with Greg and his wife, and the rest a mix of solo and buddy shore dives. Got to see a Manta ray, eagle rays, white tips, grey reef sharks, octopus, turtles, various eels, nudis, turltles, flying gunnard(first for me) and all the usual reef fish.

Here are some pictures. Hopefully this link works

Well Makena landing never disappoints. Saw a pair of eagle rays there for about 15 min. Both sides of white rock beach great. Found a turtle cleaning station out from the middle of white rock beach with 11 turtles one morning. Found the kangaroo nudi, pair of harlequin shrimp, and an octo there poking around in the coral heads. Joe, Ricardo, and Tiffany from Ed's were great again. For food Spagos at the four seasons awesome(mind you we get 2 for 1 which helps a lot), Mamas fish house amazing as usual, Monkey pod (new place cool pupus) If the facebook link for the pics doesn't work I also put some on my photos here. Just click on the photos under my profile. Oh yeah Joe found the lare hand sized spanish dancer at tank and landing craft with eggs to boot.
Plus Mana foods in Paia for local organic groceries

Spanish dancer



Here is the Spanish dancer Joe found at tank and landing craft site. It was about 6" long and was under a rock which also had eggs on it.
