Comments This is a great operation. Great gear, easy entry/exit from beach. Current can be stiff and may affect the dive somewhat, but there will be a lot to see regardless. They will also do guided dives at Kapalua Bay which is also an interesting and friendly dive site.

UW Photo Comments You have to manage your own camera. If you are going with a group then maybe just bring a GoPro. They do private dives, if I were bringing my camera set-up, I would go private. There are some patch reefs further out that are really gorgeous and a lot of smaller fish and critters that are interesting. Tons of turtles.
