Thank You.

Hey!!! I'll be there on the 25th of September -- until the 7 of October... will our paths cross?
I like to start at Ulua Beach in Wailea -- it's super easy -- and a nice way to work out all the kinks and make sure that all the gear is functioning properly.
Five Graves / Makena Landing has been a never ending source of fun for me... doing it from either side-- going around the whole circuit... it's always an interesting dive.
I like White Rock too.... the reef there kind of 'pops up' out of the sand -- there is relatively little rubble so, especially in good light, it has a very magical feel to it.
Ahihi Bay can be good if conditions are good -- but it can be a difficult entry if surf's up.
I'd also recommend that you check out Maui Dreams Dive CO -- they are the shore diving pro's. (and just super people too!) You can find them at www.mauidreamsdiveco.com.
I'm counting down the days to my trip!
Also, if you are going to do some boat diving -- I'd really recommend the Thursday afternoon / evening trip with Ed Robinson's.

Definately try Black Rock. We were there last week ... dove it @ dusk, and snorkeled there almost everyday - Great.
One of the best shore dives on Maui, especially a dusk or night dive. You'll see abour 25 different types of reef fish, @ least 2 different types of eels, large green sea turtle, and possibly some spotted eagle rays (July thru Sept.). It's @ the Sheraton Maui on Kaanapali Beach.
