Comments	This was our first trip to Maui and we picked Mike Severns based on other positive reviews on Undercurrent.org. They were a great dive operation. Very thorough briefings by divemasters who had a minimum of 6 years experience diving Maui. Provided warm cinnamon rolls, cookies, trail mix, goldfish, pretzels, bagels, coffee, hot chocolate, water, soda and juice. Quite a spread. Very focused on safety - well equipped boat with EPIRB, oxygen and first aid kit. Took max of 12 divers, split into two groups of 6, each with their own divemaster. Kept buddies together, but didn't force singles to buddy up. Saw lots of great indiginous sea-life, 15+ sea turtles on one dive, could also hear the humpback whales singing during the dives. No preset dive site schedule - crew polled the divers and took requests. Molokini crater was a very interesting site - we got there early and beat the other dive and snorkel boats. Boat leaves from Kihei boat launch at 6:30am - convenient to Wailea and Kihei resorts. Top notch dive operation - would go out of our way to dive with them in the future.

UW Photo Comments	Seperate rinse tank and camera storage area that was clearly marked off. Divemasters went out of their way to point out unique small criters and also did their best to let photographers get the pics first before others took a look and stirred up the sand.
