Comments	Good: Divemaster (Ryan) outstanding diver and did agreat job of pointing out differnet things. Boat was clean and staff seemed very concerned about safety and that everyone was having a good time. Bad: The wind Sucked! Huge waves (6 - 8 feet) made even a seasoned vet like me a little anxious....it was a washing machine. Due to the wave action our Molokini back wall dive was cancelled (we dove the crater itself and I was just as happy) and our night/dusk dive was cancelled. Sometimes knowing which shop to show up at is confusing. I hated (loathed) having to fill out the waiver everyday, when it clearly had a date range line (i.e. Dec 1 - Dec 7), this is over kill! Hawaii diving can cause sticker shock, and is a little pricey. Things to know before you leave home: Bring your own snacks, they tend to be a little skimpy and the days can be long (a thermos of soup would be great). Dress in layers, I bring an Uzi dive gear wind breaker and I'm glad I did. Take a dive light on every dive, there's plenty to see in the lava formations, if your looking. Overall: Maui divers did a good job, I could want better topside communication with the shops and maybe better photo arrangements. Boat staff exceptional and handled the crazy weather well.
