Comments	Max is the owner of Manini dive company, and he does a truly fantastic job showing his divers a wonderful time in the calm, warm waters just off Waikiki. I have been diving with Max since 1999, when I was a young Air Force Lieutenant assigned to Hickam AFB. After 22 years of diving together, I refuse to dive with anyone else on Oahu (and I have tried everyone else on Oahu). Max knows the dive sites inside and out, and he always tries to show his divers the special creatures that inhabit the wrecks and reefs off Waikiki. I am always amazed at the wide variety of interesting animals Max finds, and even after 22 years, I still look forward to diving with Max because there is always something new to observe. He takes such good care of my Wife and I, and he is such a fun, amiable man. As for the wildlife, you can expect to see LOTS of turtles, an octopus or two, frog fish, porcupine fish, and plenty of eels (and of course, triggers, moorish idols, butterfly fish and other tropical fish). Certain dive sites he frequents even have juvenile whitetip sharks and eagle rays. To conclude, this is an outstanding dive operation run by a wonderful man who really cares about his customers. Highly recommended for divers of every level and very affordable and convenient.
