Maui Instructor reference

[ctmax]

I will be In Maui looking to finish my open water certification. I see several shops that catch my eye, but being new to the sport I would like some input from folks that have been there and done that.

Any help would be appreciated.

Maui Dreams Dive Co. is second to none... I totally encourage you to check them out.

Thanks for the reply. I have been looking at their site as well as Pacific Dive and Lahaina divers. There are several that catch my eye but for some reason these three stand out. Any Thoughts on Scuba Shack? Just took a look at their site

As always I reccomend B&B Scuba but hopefully in a year or so I'll be the guy people want to use over there

Call Lahaina Divers and ask if John is still there. He's a great instructor and a blast to work with. I can't recommend him highly enough.

Scuba Shack is apparently good for guys, but the guy can be a bit of a creep to women... at least that's the rumour.

I dove with a course director named Bill Hannan. He was a great dive buddy and would be a great instructor for you. I think he also runs classes in association with Maui Dive Company.

Thanks for all the replies. I am going to get on the phone talk to a few of the shops and see who I am comfortable with. If anyone has any other suggestions for a new nervous diver, I would welcome them.

We will be in Kapalua which is aparently 45min to 1hr away from the shops I have looked into. It was suggested by B&B that I give Island scuba a shout. Apparently they are near where I will be staying. Anyone ever dive or certify with them?
