Hey folks, I had never been to Maui so I found this site and asked where to dive and who to dive with. After reading the replies I decided to go with B&B Scuba in Kihei. My wife and I had two boat dives with those guys and next time I go to Maui I'll dive with them again. There were 7 other people besides my wife and I on the boat so it was more personal than 15 or more like other outfits. The crew was really laid back but professional. We felt like part of the family. While diving, Brad pointed out a few of the local attractions like the eel in the rock and the shark. I know sometimes with other outfits it's kind of a free-for-all and you don't know where to look to find the cool stuff. Before the dive Brad told us what we would see so we made sure we all our hand signals down for the specific types of marine life. The sandwiches on board were pretty darn good too. Maybe cause I was so hungry. We left pretty early but I realized why after we were on our way in. Molokini looks like a NASCAR race once 7am hits. The prices were great for my wife's rental gear too.
The next day my wife and I did our own beach dives. Our first dive was at Ulua beach and was very nice. Our second dive was at Ahihi Bay. Ahihi Bay is not bad but when the locals say don't dive there after 10 or so in the morning, you better listen. We were only in the water about 15 minutes cause the undertow was so strong and we were getting thrown around quite a bit so we cut the dive short. You enter and exit on the lava rock so if you're a beginner I DON'T recommend it after early morning. Kameole(sp?)3 is a great beach for out-of-towners. I snorkeled there on my own and saw tons of nice coral and fish.
All in all it was a fantastic trip! The luau, the people, the food, the smell and everything else made that my new number one travel destination. To see our pics and video you can go to MySpace.com - Pale Horse Travel - 32 - Male - Nixa, Missouri - www.myspace.com/palehorsetravel. Have fun!

You're right, they treat you like you are just one of the family.
