Will be on Maui the 26 through the 31st and staying over in Ka'anapali. Where is an ok place to rent gear? Will I have to head down to Lahaina?

Maui Dive shop in Kahana and Kaanapali Maui Dive Shop Locations | Dive Shops on Maui | Maui Dive Stores | Surf Stores on Maui, Also Scuba Lanai - Lanai Dive Trips, Lahaina Dive Shop, Scuba Lessons | Hawaiian Rafting Adventures is closer than going into Lahaina, where you have several choices. I bring my own gear (and will be in Maui the 9th to the 16th) so have no experience with any of the gear at these shops.

Somebody in another thread recently mentioned that the Maui Dive Shop in Ka'anapali does not rent dive gear - which is in line with their listing on the chart merxlin linked to.
I've been to the Kahana Gateway shop - they do.

Steve's right. I misread the chart. Kahana is just a few minutes north.

I rented tanks and weights from the Kahana store. Don't forget a dive flag when shore diving.

Thanks and the Kanaha location is really close to where I am staying. Thanks. What's the water temp in January? I knew I will need something but will a 3mm do? I will be bringing my own gloves and boots.

I typically wear a 3 mil unless doing several dives a day. I'd leave the gloves, you really shouldn't need them and helps the "no touch" philosophy. Most fins rented out are full foot so you may not need boots either. You might call in advance and see if you can reserve gear ahead of time. It is a busy time of year and you'd hate to have to use whatever is left.

The water was 74-75 degrees 10 days ago when we were there, so use that as your guide. Personally I wear a 5mm full suit with a Lavacore shirt layered underneath.
I have used these guys for the last several years and they are GREAT! The cost, and accommodating customer service would make it worth a drive to Lahaina for me....

The Maui Dive Shop location at Kaanapali has lots of everything you could want to rent, and it is of good quality. I think their prices are ok. They are very reasonable for air, lead and dive flags, which is all I have ever rented from them.
