Pet Forum / Aquaria / Marine Reef / July 2007Scuba diving - West Maui, HI
Anybody knows nice places to do beginner-level scuba dives of shore on the Maui island? Preferable North/West side... Thanks I dont' know, but that sure sounds like fun. Are you going to take any pictures?

I was looking at an SLR and underwater enclosure. Way, way, outside of my budget. >> Do not have underwater camera yet! >> Spent all my savings on scuba equipment ;-) > > Ha!

Looked online for diving spots and found this map: http://www.mauiscuba.com/divemap/mapmaui.htm Not much on the West side of Maui... I should pay more attention when picking a hotel next time :-( > Do not have underwater camera yet! > Spent all my savings on scuba equipment ;-) You don't have to buy, necessarily. Just about all of the dive shops on the Big Island rent underwater cameras. A high-end example; http://www.mauidiveshop.com/cameraRental.htm Prices run $20 to $75/day, depending upon the quality of the gear. Google Search: underwater camera rental hawaii 394,000 hits Or, you can get underwater cases for common digital cameras on Ebay. If you've got a camera already, and you aren't planning on going deep, it might be an inexpensive ($40-$50) option.... http://search.ebay.com/search/search.dll?from=R40&_trksid=m37 &satitle=underwater+camera+case&category0= The case option distorts images a lot more than dedicated gear, though. I'd rent dedicated underwater gear, if I were the one to choose. Regards, DaveZ There are disposable underwater cameras too.

I remember when we were there we were driving by the ocean and I looked up and saw a rainbow right above it. Wow, what a beautiful sight!! Anyways enjoy your trip Pszemol.

Thanks Susan, I have been to Maui two times already, this will be third trip. First one with scuba open water certification, so this time it should be much more interesting ;-) I remember snorkeling in some National Reserve Park in the West/Nort corner of an island, forgot the name... I was looking for maybe something little deeper this time - snorkel limits you to really shalow water, scuba is different. |
