Scuba Forum / Scuba Locations / March 2006Maui diving
Can anyone recomend a dive shop in Maui? Yes, I dove with Ed Robinson when in Maui recently. The operation and his staff were wonderful. Very knowledgeable and helpful, when needed. I would not dive with anyone else were I returning to Maui. > Can anyone recomend a dive shop in Maui? > Yes, I dove with Ed Robinson when in Maui recently. The operation and > his staff were wonderful. Very knowledgeable and helpful, when needed. I > would not dive with anyone else were I returning to Maui. I would. Mike Severns diving is right next to Ed Robinson at Kihei, and offers the same quality and level of professionallism. I wouldn't hesitate to dive with either of these operators. The only drawback (such that it is), is that they don't like to take anyone with less than 25 dives experience. This weeds out some of the truely clueless, and let's them offer better sites and much more freedom than most of the cattleboat operators out of Lahaina. http://www.mikesevernsdiving.com/ http://www.maui.net/~robinson/erd1.htm > > Can anyone recomend a dive shop in Maui?

Twelve divers max. Marine biologists as dive masters. Closer to most of the dive spots (it's an "easy" 30 minute cruise from Lahaina to Kihei). The cattleboats won't do dives like Molokini Backside (which really takes two dives to do properly). Columbus Day, 1992 we did Molokai. Cattleboats weren't doing that one. Severns (and I assume Robinson) let you dive your own profile. The only restriction is to ascend as a buddy team. But at the experience level of most of the divers I've run into on their boats, that's not an issue. >Dan Bracuk >If we don't succeed, we run the risk of failure. > >----== Posted via Newsfeeds.Com - Unlimited-Unrestricted-Secure Usenet News==---- >http://www.newsfeeds.com The #1 Newsgroup Service in the World! 120,000+ Newsgroups >----= East and West-Coast Server Farms - Total Privacy via Encryption =----  Signaturedillon Could have been is in the past Could be is in the future There is only the now Dillon Pyron <dmpyronINVALID@austin.rr.com> pounded away at his keyboard resulting in: :The cattleboats won't do dives like Molokini Backside (which really :takes two dives to do properly).

It's a monster wall dive, definitely deep, with lots of critters on the wall and in the blue. I wouldn't do it every trip, but I'd like to do it again on our next Maui trip. A very advanced dive, and you'll be the only people on it. It's a "follow me" dive. You'll have to swim into blue water before you ascend to keep from meeting up with the rocks and to get to the boat. >Dan Bracuk >If we don't succeed, we run the risk of failure. > >----== Posted via Newsfeeds.Com - Unlimited-Unrestricted-Secure Usenet News==---- >http://www.newsfeeds.com The #1 Newsgroup Service in the World! 120,000+ Newsgroups >----= East and West-Coast Server Farms - Total Privacy via Encryption =---- Signaturedillon Could have been is in the past Could be is in the future There is only the now >>Alan Street <agstreet@nonono_san.rr.com> pounded away at his keyboard >>resulting in: [quoted text clipped - 11 lines] >takes two dives to do properly).

Do not confuse with the big Maui Dive shops. This is small one!!!! They use a great boat and take only 12 max on trips. email is john@mauidiving.com MG Lahaina Divers >Can anyone recomend a dive shop in Maui? > Lahaina Divers Would be the one place I'd avoid at all costs. > >Can anyone recomend a dive shop in Maui? >> Lahaina Divers > >Would be the one place I'd avoid at all costs.

Well, as a fairly new diver, I really appreciated the support they offer. Also, traveling without a dive buddy, it's good to have a group. I thought they were quite knowledgeable and super friendly, and except for Molokini, you're usually the only boat at any given site. a > € Lahaina Divers > € > > Would be the one place I'd avoid at all costs. Why is that? I've had nothing but good dives with them. Because some people here can't shut their cesspool of traphole..............

"Our Dive Vessels: Dominion and Dauntless are 46 feet in length and were built in Slidell, Louisiana. Each vessel has twin Cummins 430 horsepower diesel engines and is USCG certified. We take a max of 24 divers on each vessel." http://www.lahainadivers.com/custdive.html 24 divers on a 46' boat? Talk about cesspool . . . That's what all that cattle smells like on a hot day. |
