Re: Where to in Maui?

I just called them and sadly they don't take snorkelers, I have some non-diving people going with me and want them to come along for a fun day. So, if anyone can suggest another dive charter that would be awesome!

Thanks!

Re: Where to in Maui?

I am going to Maui in a few weeks and still need to book a charter. I was hoping you could tell me how your experience went with the Mike Severns boat and crew. Sounds like they come highly recommended. Any other info. you can share about Maui would be greatly appreciated as well!

Thanks a bunch!

Underwater video before Edmonds Oil Dock was removed??

I am hoping to find anyone that is willing to share underwater video of the Edmonds Oil Dock before it was removed, due to creosote on the wood. Any footage of the area, plants, animals, the structure itself would be very, very helpful. I am hoping that sometime in the very near future, we, and I me...
