2009 Underwater Egg Hunt
There are buckets of eggs to collect, including special hidden-prize eggs and a grand-prize egg, so "hop" on over for some Easter fun!
We will give a dive briefing promptly at 8:00 am, immediately after which divers will enter the water, so make sure you arrive early enough to get parking and get geared up. This year we will give divers a head start to head out to the event perimeter and then we will sound a horn signaling that everyone may descend. Divers will have a one hour time limit to collect their eggs and then check back in upon exiting the water.
Earth Day Events
Join us for an underwater clean-up on Earth Day, April 22nd aboard the Maui
Diamond II. This one tank event is free and reservations are
required. Divers are required to hold a minimum certification of Advanced
Open Water. Check-in time will be 1:30PM. Call us now to sign
up! DIVER'S PLEDGE
To ensure that the reefs I dive on continue to thrive, I pledge to:
- Follow all applicable State and Federal laws related to marine life and protected areas.
- Be respectful to all marine life.
- Make every effort to not touch, stand, kick, or rest on corals.
- Never chase, harass, flush from shelter or relocate marine life.
- Not feed fish or other marine life.
- Keep a respectful distance from turtles and never chase them, block their path or try to ride them.
- Secure dive flags to the sandy bottom using weights or other anchoring device or tie off to non-living surfaces.
- Be extra careful if taking photos or videos, being aware of the reef and respectful of the marine life.
- Look before touching the bottom for balance, making sure it is non-living substrate and when absolutely necessary using only one or two fingers for contact.
- Minimize glove use unless required by a medical condition, for thermal protection, or for safety.

Northwest Divers, we're coming to visit!
Yes, Maui Dreams will be exhibiting at the Dive & Travel Expo at the Tacoma Convention Center on April 25 & 26 and we'd love to see you
there! Rachel has just completed her dry suit specialty (yes, here in
Maui) so that she can participate in the Underwater Treasure Hunt on the
24th. Want to join us? Send an email! And for discounted

NEW $60 Wetsuits!
Yes, they're brand new, and no, this is not an April Fool's joke! We
got a great deal on some close-out suits from a vendor and wanted to pass the
savings on to you. If you're in the market for a new 3mm full suit, come
on in! Also, we are continuing to sell used BCD/Reg sets for just $399, so
get yours while they're still available!
