I was blessed with taking my bride of 25 years to Maui the last week of May and took a morning to get wet and I wanted to put some kudo's out there.
On a bright and wonderful Tuesday (May 28th) morning I met up with Extented Horizon's at the Mala Wharf in Lahaina for a 2 tank dive to Lana'i. Captain Victoria (new Captain) and Chris were the crew that day.
Boat normally can take 12 divers and we only had six for the morning. Nice trip out, dove Second Cathederals and Shark Fin Rock. I'll go into the dives themselves on maybe another thread. Boat ride back was pretty rough.
I can't say enough about the crew and their friendlieness to the 6 of us. We had from newbies to very experienced on the boat and they took care of us very well. If and when I go back I will certainly dive with them again.
One comment though on a snorkel trip I went on with my wife since she doesn't dive, I know now what is truely meant by the term cattle boat! We went with Maui Dive Shop and went out of Kihei boat ramp and they were 35 minutes late coming in from an earlier trip out. Boat was packed and really want not too much fun since this particular boat has no shade from the sun at all. I don't know if any of their other boats do or not.
Granted I know there is a difference between a snorkel trip and a dive trip and the clients you get, but there was a world of difference between the crew on each boat as to their over all care and conduct with us.
Well the 6 month planning is over and it is now memories, pictures and video. Maybe in another 5 years......
Thanks fro your ears!
