Comments	Originally, we had booked w/ Rene at Octopus Reef, but she had some back trouble and couldn't dive, so she graciously made alternate arrangements for my wife and I with Rachael at Maui Dreams. Rachael was FABULOUS! One of the best guided dive experiences we've had to date. Talking and setting up with her was almost as fun as the dives themselves. We felt she was as excited to be there as we were - it was really great to come across her kind of genuine enthusiasm. She was also very patient and thorough, and made sure that we were properly weighted and trimmed for sea water (we dive mostly fresh water). Based on Rachael's recommendations, we dove with her off of Ulua beach in southern Maui and the facilities were excellent: close parking, showers and restrooms, and a nice grassy area to set-up and hang out between dives that was very close to the water. My wife had wanted to see some turtles and Rachael (not to mention the Pacific Ocean) did not disappoint. Not only did we see a couple turtles, but we saw about 8 of them in varying sizes - from small juveniles to a HUGE turtle that I had to swim away from in order to get all of it framed in the photo. Rachael was even generous and provided us with some photos that she took of us during the dive. Our only disappointment was that we opted to dive later in our trip - so we didn't have any extra time to dive w/ Rachael again. But she'll be one of our first calls when we return to Maui. Rachael and Maui Dreams get 2 thumbs up - WAY up...

UW Photo Comments	We dove from Ulua Beach. There was a great amount of macro subjects and turtles, but if you're looking to shoot larger fish, you may want to look elsewhere on the island...
