That way I can spend more time on Maui and not have to rush taking classes. And, I can see the Whale Day stuff too!
Staying longer is a very good thing.
Once you get certified, if you like, drop me a PM and we can do some shore diving together

Doug Corbin (Shaka Doug) on Maui certified my wife in April of 2006. He is highly recommended!

Why don't you do the checkout dives where you live, then you can just have fun dives in Maui? i dove w/ Ed Robinson's and they were great, but I'd bet anyone mentioned above is great too.
Here's Molokini Crater:

You'll need dramamine for my vids.

Cool videos! Looked like a lot of Stylophora, Pocillopra, and Porites in the first one. Maybe a few Sarcophyton too?
I'd like to find someone with a small craft like in the third video to go whale watching on. Did that on my first trip back in the 80's... since then the boats kept getting bigger and more "touristy".
I would like to do the preliminary learning here but it would end up costing me almost $200 more to do it that way.

Ill put in a strong word for Shaka Divers Doug Corbin too - look him up on the web.
Besides being an excellent instructor with a well polished, logical & rememorable presentation, he seems to be friends with the inhabitants of the water.
Ask him what you want to see and he will introduce them to you. Besides he will lie on the bottom blowing bubble rings for you to swim though to have you picture taken. And still pix and videos your dives onto a disc.

I noticed and I'm flattered that the new member put in a nice 'plug' for Shaka. Thanks Drmbloom! Welcome to Scubaboard!!
