Scuba Forum / Scuba Locations / April 2005Maui diving, shore diving? Kapalua dive co?
We'll be staying near the Kapalua Dive Co. I understand they do shore dives daily. How are they as an operation? For boat dives, the hotel mentioned Extended Horizon and Lahaina Divers. My dive buddy is pretty new, and we won't be seeking out anything nutty. We're basically cold weather refugees that get to dive one vacation a year, and not looking for an adrenaline rush. :-) Point us to something shallow with something neat to look at, and we'll be plenty happy. 8-) Any recommendations welcome!

Yeah, it's crowded as hell but worth it for the newbies. A fine operation for newbies is Lahina Divers. http://www.lahainadivers.com/ suds > the newbies.

There was one other operator out of Lahina that I used once. "Ocean Adventures" or something like that. They were alright. I tried looking them up last time I was over there but couldn't find them so maybe they no longer exist. What I remember most about them is that they used 20ft RIBs. We dove the Cathedrals off Lana'i from them. The morning trip across the channel was no problem (seldom is) but coming back that afternoon... I've spent some time at sea in small boats but I have never been so damn scared in my life. I was being thrown right and left while holding on for dear life. Half the time I couldn't see land because of the size of the waves. And the Owner ... he was happier than a pig in sh!t. He said it reminded him of his time as a SEAL in 'Nam. LOL >> ?

He said it reminded >him of his time as a SEAL in 'Nam. LOL As someone once pointed out, if eveyone who claimed to be a SEAL had really been one, it certainly wouldn't be an elite and exclusive unit. We did the Cathedrals and one other dive with Central Pacific many years ago. Evening/ night dive. The ride back had half the pax trying to puke over a rail and not get tossed into the ocean.  Signaturedillon Women should be obscene and not absurd. We were in Maui in February...most of our dives were the Ed, few with Mike...both excellent..in fact we had some folks join us who went out of Lahina (didn't catch name of operator) and were really upset with the operator - cattle boat, 35 min in water time,no exceptions argggg... Ed and Mikes boats and folks were excellent and a lot of fun... All the dive sites were great..but favorites were back wall Molikini and catherdrals.....least favortie was the inside of Molikini...all other dives excellent... Miss it and cant wait to go back... >>> ? "Todd H." <t@toddh.net> wrote in message >>> news:84br95lv3a.fsf@ripco.com... [quoted text clipped - 26 lines] > years ago. Evening/ night dive.

That says a lot. Along that line, what exactly is your expertise on this subject? >Who are you and why are you here? Can't just enjoy a good story, huh? >Always have to one-up?

I was wrong, it's not a forgery, just an asswipe. >Along that line, what exactly is your expertise on this subject? Not sure, maybe it's 20 years diving with Mike.

You've been Mike's DM for 20 years...? That does end this conversation. |
