We Will See you soon Steve! Just had to replace the prop housing on Riptide. She is ready to rock and roll!

Steve, you clearly just need to move to Maui sooner rather than later!! AND buy your own scooter.

Epic Dive today at ML. The new scooter prop housing worked amazing! Can't wait to go to DEMA in Vegas. Going to look at the new scooters! If I hit it big on the black jack table, I will have to buy the new $12,000 Apollo SVX!

A few years ago, we did some great diving off Maui with kidspot, who had two X-Scooter Sierras. We had brought one of ours. You can really cruise the reef on them, but you do miss a lot of small critters. The barrel rolls make up for some of it

Moving there is going to happen, I just hope sooner then later. And yes a scooter is at the top of my to buy list now.

Aloha TSandM, Glad to hear you have gone to the other side and tried the scooter diving. I am not sure what the X scooters are but I am sure they are all fun.. You are correct about missing some of the mall critters going out to your location but the cool thing is going to places where you often need a boat to get to. Instead of getting up at 5 AM dragging yourself down to the pier and jumping on a boat by 6 then going out to a location off shore somewhere. You just drive up to the shore unload and gear up like a normal dive and jump in and go. We have been out to the wreck St Anothy's, Z Blocks. Red Hill all the way to little beach and back, The tank and landing craft just south of Makena Landing. Corral Gardens, Ukumehami (Manta Cleaning Station) Olowalu, Maliko Gulch on the North shore and my favorite Makena Landing and Five Caves/Graves.

It's not for everyone but so far haven't met anyone that didnt love it after doing it. Would love to take you out sometime on your next visit.
