1. Roller Blades are not a good idea. The roads are narrow and therefore dangerous for rollerblading. It is also illegal on the roads. IMHO you take your life in your hands skating on these roads. If you are determined to bring them the stretch of road in front of your hotel is new in preparation of some development across from the hotel.

2. None of the dive operators are physically located near the hotel. They book over the phone or via a tour agent. The boats leave from the Kihei Boat Harbor and you meet them there.

I prefer

As always I'm a huge fan of B&B Scuba and they take off from the Kihei ramp which is as close as you can get. Their shop is a couple of miles north of the ramp but you can make arrangements over the phone or over the net.

There is good snorkling everywhere.

Enjoy yourself, I'm way jealous.

Islandtime, what kind of diving are you talking about in particular? Maui Dreams, to my knowledge, do shore dives only. I use them for all my weights and fills, but I'm not aware of them doing any boat dives. For boat diving I personally recommend Ed Robinson's. B & B and Mike Severns have a good reputation, though I've never dove with them. As far as the diving in January...January and February are personally my favorite time of year to dive on Maui.

We go to Maui every February (will be tehre for 2 weeks again this Feb) and I use a 3/2 titanium and am fine. I will occasionally get a little chilled towards the end of the final dive on a 3 tank dive, but I think a 5mm would be too warm for me. My fiance wears a 5mm and has commented that it is a little on the warm side for her, but she simply just pulls the neck open a little to allow some cooler water in and she's fine.

We did our AOW with Maui Dreams hence the boat dive with them. Thanks for the info I think we will try Robinsons.

Don't bother taking a charter that goes anywhere besides Molokini or Lanai. Most other spots are accessable from shore (all public shore line in Hawaii). Maui Dreams can help you with planning shore dives. I think they even have a buddy book with locals who can meet you for a swim.

Have fun!

 

[deputydan1]

sounds like a good plan.

do you know if they include the molokini crater or cathedrals as part of the AOW class??? that would be great!
