Well, here’s a shout out to Mike Severns Diving in Maui .. (808) 879-6596. As usual, the crew including Warren, AJ, Michelle and last but certainly never least, skilled and fearless (or at least never speechless) captain Andy, managed to provide two superb days of diving in the Molokini crater in Maui. Even with poor visibility on the coast during my second day, the extra time in the crater was well worth it. 

We scoped out the Molokini reef three times and also did the Tank to the Landing craft drift dive. Saw a number of firsts for me on Thursday, including a small octopus, frogfish, flounder and nudibranch.

Other finds included a sponge starfish, a wire coral and a spiny urchin.

Thanks very much for another great diving trip to Maui guys! The Severns crew including AJ, Michelle, Andy and Warren were as usual, spectacular dive masters – knew where to look for the interesting bits and were really down to earth. Their dive boat can take out up to 12 divers, so it’s a smaller group allowing more interaction with the crew, compared to the larger 20+ diver boats.

See you in another year!
