Overall Rating

Used Mike Severns for three two tank dives in Jan 2005.  They are a first
class Maui dive operation, with excellent customer service, a good boat,
and very good dives.  There were no negatives about the trips.  The boat
holds 12 divers, which were divided up into equal groups with one dive
master each.  One of the dives each day was inside Molikini
"crater," with the other dives either being on the back side of
Molokini, or at sites within a mile of the Maui coastline.  I saw sea
turtles and white tipped reef sharks on almost every dive, along with great
spongues and some coral.  There are a great many fish on the dive sites. 
We saw a great many humpback whales on the surface, and heard them in the
water (which was a unique scuba experience for me).  A group with another
dive master saw False killer whales, which is apparently pretty rare for
Maui divers.  Check in for the boat is 6:15 a.m. at the Kihei boat ramp, to
take advantage of the calm conditions early in the morning.  You can plan
on getting back anywhere from 11:30 to 12:30.  The divemasters were very
accomadating, asking every diver what they wanted to see, and where they
wanted to go, before making a decision.  They were great at finding hard to
see sealife, and helping you with the equipment.  They also had great food
onboard, including huge cookies, muffins, crackers, fruit, bottled water,
soft drinks, coffee, and hot chocolate.  You don't need to wake up extra
early to get coffee and breakfast, as they provide it for you.  All in all,
a first rate operation that I would highly recommend.
