    Mona Island - How's the diving?

    Yes... I got the same message... 4:45... and one larger bus. From my perspective, I think that is actually good news... I think that it may be more reasonably sized for us plus gear. Remember that the meeting point is right in front of the on airport hotel (where I'll be staying) -- C'mon...

    Mona Island - How's the diving?

    OK Gang.... I am SO ready for this trip -- and reminding my office that I won't have access to email or cell phone.... (so sad!) I spoke with Karen last week (some how my passenger profile didn't connect with the office - but we cleared that up!) As of last Wednesday the total was 28...

    How do I convince my overweight friend that it's ok to dive?

    Hi there... If you search for threads that I've contributed to you'll find that I have had lots to say about 'overweight' diving -- including wet suit alternatives. I'm a very large women scuba diving instructor.... My wet suits are custom made.... but I logged 100 dives before I owned a...

    Mona Island - How's the diving?

    Hi Steve.... Glad to hear you're joining the trip. I'm happy to buddy with you... my air consumption is moderate... Maybe we'll all have to take a "test" dive and then we can buddy up based on air consumption.

    Seeking a buddy

    Thanks, Robin.... I've done several trips with Nekton, and I love them... (I know there has been lots of positive and negative discussion here about them.) -- But, even with a liveaboard, I have found that I prefer to go with a pre-identified buddy, even though I might dive with others. When...

    An interesting dive

    In my experience, this is an occasional to somewhat common practice.... depending on the situation. I've done it to allow a customer (and the group) finish a dive more comfortably and safely by avoiding a long and rough surface swim. In the situations that I'm familiar with, the person...

For a dive shop for gear support and rental, shore diving, tanks, etc... it's Maui Dreams Dive Co (NOT to be confused with Maui Dive Shop.... it's the OTHER one with Maui...
