First time Maui adventure

[traveler218]

Just got to Maui last night for the first time. Spent the day getting my bearings and snorkeling at Black Rock. Really looking forward to diving tomorrow and Saturday. I just can't wait to see what Molokini is like.

Black rock was pretty good except visibility wasn't great at the Sheraton shore entry side due to the high surf but once around the point and inside the "bowl" the water was crystal clear.

So far I'm loving it!!!!

Maui ids one of my two favorite places on the planet. Have a great time. I'd like a report on the viz at Molikini. It should be at least 120 feet, maybe more. Amazing, because it is offshore.

Dive was good this morning although a little murky. Saw several large turtles and many varieties of fish. I'll post a better description when I get back to my room tonight.

A friend of mine said she saw whales, dolphins, mantas, and eagle rays today at Molokini!

She saw whales UW at Molokini? Back wall or inside?

I cant wait. We get there on Jan 24. The only warm/tropical diving we have done was Kona last spring when were were still at about 10 dives. This time should be much better as more experienced divers.

No, whales on the surface everything else under water. ;-) It is an absolutely amazing experience when you get to see one under water....something I'll never forget. Can't wait to be there in a couple of weeks myself.

I'll be at Molokini today! I hope we have the same good fortune. I can't wait to see how clear it is. I got some decent video at Black Rock yesterday, even with Murky visibility. MOLOKINI should be amazing!
