Comments A well run operation with some of the guides better than others.They set up everything and you just jump in the water. The first day we had 6 divers but the subsequent days there was 12 divers with two guides. The vis at Molinkini is outstanding always--closer in not as good. We saw turtles, some tropical fish, few pelagics but we did see a frog fish and many eels. The dives were both drift and line dives--One dive at st anthonys wreck was boring and should be avoided if possible. The dives at Molinkini were pretty. My main problem was that I have dived Maui many times and went to Fiji last year so the bar is very high now. Ed robinson has been there a long time and is quite a nice fellow. He was there every morning to say hello. There is good snorkeling at wailea beach and mokapu beach, but only in the am.For some reason I did not see the schools of fish I had seen years ago.
