Comments The first day the boat from Lahina divers was nice, thereafter, the boat was nothing to brag about. The captain was the same and the boats were not. I appreciated his skills. I was also dissapointed that on the day I thought we would do the outside of the crater at Molokini that we would do more than one dive there. Since sea conditions were a bit rough, they told us we had to leave the area after the first dive because of a weather front that was approaching. The conditions never changed and it remained sunny, Molokini crater (outside) was the best dive that we had in Maui.
