[just got back from Maui and dived with Mike severns. The first dive at
molokini crater was beset with problems --mainly a very strong current/ the
dive master admitted  to taking us to far and then we had to literally hold
on to coral to get back to the boat. When I surfaced I had no air but did
do a safety stop at 20 feet.       we saw on shark in the distance. The
other dives were uneventful, the  vis at Molokni was excellent, close to
shore was only 40-50 feet. The operation is still good, but having dived in
Puerto rico last year at La Parguerra, I found the diving in Maui somewhat
disappointing. When you can see the large critters. things even out a bit
however-if you do not, well it is still fun, but not great.The max number
on the boat was 10. They meet at 6;15 at the Kihei boat ramp. There are
snacks on board and drinks. On the closer in dives there were many turtles
and a very large sting ray.If you book 3 days of diving you get a discount.
