I took my AOW this week on West Maui and saw some amazing things. I've dove various sites on Maui over the past couple of years on vacations and have usually had a good time but I always end up comparing it to my diving in Fiji, Belize and various Caribbean spots. The 5 dives I did this trip totally caught me off guard, it was amazing. Hawaii has always been my "Happy place" because of all of the beauty topside. I now think of this as a great dive destination. Of course it doesn't have the soft coral or shark dives of Fiji or the offshore atolls of Belize but it's a short 5 hours to see some great things. We were able to see small schools of spotted eagle rays, various shrimp, sponge crabs, 20+ morays, black tips, 20+ very friendly turtles, anemone crabs, nudis, and a 6" seahorse! I assume seahorses are rare here and it's probably one of the coolest things I've ever seen under water. Just had to share how great it was!
