Both of these operations are awesome. They are based out of Maui. Pacific Dive Shop is the ultimate LDS. They hooked us up with the best shore dives and boat dives. Shore dives were at no cost. They gave us the dive bouy and weights at no charge. They told us where to go and what to do. As far as tanks, they started a tab and said just settle up when you're done. Keep the tanks as long as you like with no extra charge. Other shops said you need to have the tanks back within 24 hours or we will charge you an extra day. Pacific Dive Shop also fills their own tanks so you don't have to worry that you may run out. Maui Dive Shop is cool but they out source their tanks and limit the number you can rent at a time. PDS rocks. Ed Robinson is class all the way also. When I first saw the boat I was wondering what we were in for. Turns out to be a great dive experience. It wasn't about "this is where you will dive". They said "what do you guys want to see and what don't you want to do". It was all about us. I can't say enough about these people. I would use them again in a second.
