Hi all,
Making it back to Maui after 10 years now with kids in tow.
Location: We're staying in Wailea. Couple of days at the Grand Wailea and then at condos (Ekahi Village?)
A couple of different questions:
DIVING
- any dive operators out of Kihea that don't dive Molokini? We did it last time and it was ok. I don't mind doing something closer to shore or any good wrecks? We dove B and B last time. Read about Severus and Robinson here also?
- from what Ive read here the shore diving is decent and read good things about Shaka divers (Doug?). Thought about doing a day with him and if it looks promising maybe renting gear and doing some on our own. Read that Maui Dive shop is decent for renting gear.
- how are the entries from shore (is there a lot of gear schlepping). Only shore dives we've done are the Northern California coast which usually requires a lot of walking and surging conditions.
SNORKELING
- have 6 year olds in tow and a wanted to try out snorkeling with them. They're comfortable in the water and good swimmers, but have never been far out in the ocean before.
- any good snorkeling from shore in a calm bay and not too long of a swim to see stuff? Probably would drag them out on boogie boards or something.
- otherwise thinking about paying for a snorkel charter. Any recommendations on a kid friendly operation that isn't a huge boat with 100 people on it?
Thank in advance.
