Hey Al,
Maliko turned out to be "ok" but the west side (Lahaina in particular) was stellar. Vis at Maliko was 40ft at best once you got past the mouth of the bay, and the one group had a depth of 65 ft (adobo and I stayed above 50ft as we were planning multiple dives later that day) - very interesting terrain too. We had 5 show up and all of us gave KrisB a hard time since he picked the site and then skipped out on us
(ok - he got called into work last minute and had a legitimate excuse ... but we still gave him a hard time lol)
Adobo and I moved on over to Lahaina and dove Airport, then on Sunday we dove Mala warf - turned out to be the best conditions I'd ever seen there, and we were told they had degraded since the day before - so we "only" had 60-80ft vis
how sad ... it was so nice that Adobo looks at me and says "mind if we do all our dives tomorrow (Monday) here? I liked the idea, so we did 3 dives there yesterday by lunch time. All three were over 70 minutes long and we got out of the water at 1:10pm - I had to get ready for work, or we might have done 3 more
conditions did get noticably worse over the 4 dives and it was down to it's "normal" 30 ft vis by the last dive. So 7 dives in 3 days and a good turn out for the monthly dive made for a VERY nice weekend
I think when you visit we'll have to try some new spots - how bout McGreggor point? I hear it's a really nice dive if conditions allow...
cya soon Al.
Aloha, Tim
P.S. heres the end of mala (where the gravemarker is at) on our second day of diving there - vis was about 40-50ft at the time.
