Diving Maui in February 2010 - Need Recommendations.

[dkmccarthy]

I'll be staying in the Ka'anapali, Lahaina area and I am looking for recommendations on who to dive with and dive sights. I've read a lot positive things about Ed Robinsons, B&B Scuba but they are out of Kihea and it is about 50 minutes from where I'm staying. I Plan on utilizing one of them for the Molikini Crater Backwall dive. Also, I am trying to decide between Extended Horizons, Lahaina Divers, and Hawaiian Rafting Adventures for my dives to Lanai and possibly Molokai. Any input would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

All three of the shops you mentioned are good shops. I'd recommend giving them each a call and see which one fits your plans and diving style the best.

I've been out with Ed Robinsons aka ERD a few years ago. They are a good op, but the diving there is in the early AM before the trades begin to blow. So with the drive to Kihei it's a very early morning. Locally I'd choose Extended Horizons though I've not been out with them. Another option to get a dive in is the Black Rock at the Sheraton(last hotel on the long Kaanapali beach to the Northwest). Decent shallow shore dive.

Have fun

I have dove with Ed and B&B as well.

B&B leaves @ dawn from Kehei and is a short trip to back wall. Good Op.

I dove cathedrals 1 & 2 with Ed , another must do in Maui.

Personally I would do black rock with experianced locals @ night , what a blast , we saw HUGE eels and even rays above us.

Try scubaboard.com and check the Maui section.
