Comments	My husband and I had a fabulous time diving with B&B Scuba of Kihei, Hawaii. We each took training with Brad Varney at different levels. My husband is an advanced diver and was seeking Rescue Diver training, while I was a total novice. Both of us received individualized attention tailored to our needs and experience. Brad is not only extremely competent, with years of experience, he is a natural teacher, instilling confidence in a nervous novice and offering constant encouragement. He made the entire experience enjoyable as well as intensely educational. My husband's expectations were different from mine and equally well met. Brad's extensive experience gave him the first hand knowledge needed to make the PADI Rescue Diving training more than facts and drills. The rest of the team at B&B were friendly and helpful, always making us feel comfortable and at ease. Divemaster Greg's sense of humor and encouragement and Blesi's skill as a naturalist enhansed each dive. We dove with the crew for three days (6 locations) so when Brad was involved with training the remainder of the divers on the boat (5-6 people) enjoyed Blesi in the lead, pointing out the animal life, and Greg sweeping the rear. I felt most confident when Greg was around as he was quick to observe and help with any problem. B&B caters to the "locals", not doing much advertising, but we both highly recommend them for visitors to Maui. They leave the dock in Kihei at 6 am to get the best moorings in Molokini crater. We were always there first with the best site and smooth water. Seeing "fields" of garden eels feeding was spectacular. We had a great time.

UW Photo Comments	The boat has a large storage area for cameras before diving and dip tubs with fresh water shower rinse for after. The tables were usually used for food and masks so cameras went on the shelf at the helm.
