We just got back from spending a week on Maui and a week on the Big Island. On Maui we dove with B&B Scuba. Brad and Blesi, owners of the shop, were both gracious and informative.

I have been out with a fair number of shops over the years and I can honestly say that I have never had a better experience in regards to personal care and attention. Brad was always looking out for everyone on his boat at all times and making sure everyone was attended to and their every need met. He really went out of his way for everyone on the boat.
He led our group on the Molokini Crater Dive which is certainly a "must do" if you are ever in Maui. We saw many firsts for us as this was our first dives in Pacific water. We saw White Tip Reef Sharks, Undulated Eels, Gray sharks and coral that you just don't see in the Atlantic. We also experienced some of the things we have seen before like garden eels and all the little tropical fish, though they were different colors and different species.
Between dives we were followed by wild dolphins, another first for us, though the snorkelers ran the dolphins off before we could get in the water with them.
The second dive we went to a wreck called the St Anthony and got some good shots of Green Sea Turtles. I will get some pictures posted when I get a chance.
Brad also set us up with tanks and weights for shore diving and made everything really easy by setting us up with a "tab" so that we didn't have to worry about paying till we left.
A south swell kept us from doing a lot of shore diving though we did dive two sites, Makena Landing and Ulua Beach
The Maui reefs were nice but they do not encircle the island like you are used to if you have been to Bonaire or even the Big Island. The reefs are small and scattered, usually near to and hugging the shoreline. Get a guide to show you around it will be well worth your time and money.
I will let Clear Blue, my other half, tell the story of our dive at Makena Landing and the "Toilet Bowl".
