Teri,

Just wanted to say hi!, and let you know how things are...

Nate and I are now in the Advanced Open Water class at home, and loving it. Our dives will be next weekend at Catalina Island. Thanks for your AWESOME energy and and love for the sport, it was quite contagious.

Hello and best wishes for the New Year to my friends at Maui Dreams!

We have arrived home safely, and while we have adjusted to Alberta time, I spend some time each day day-dreaming about Maui. Plans are in the works for a return visit.

Charlie and Rachel... I can’t thank you enough for all your help in getting me certified. I am still a bit of a nervous diver, but am working on plans for a West Coast of Canada trip for late winter or early spring. The water temp should be a balmy 40-45 f, but I was cooking in 75 f water, so I am looking forward to trying this out. They tell me that I can expect to find 8 foot long octopus, wolf eels (a face only a mother could love) seal lions and harbour seals. A good friend of mine out here is an instructor and he plans on making the trip with me.

Paul... thanks again for showing me Mackena Landing... really enjoyed the trip... the turtles were incredible! Look forward to diving with you in the future.

Teri... you are the main reason that we came back to the shop. I enjoyed visiting with you so much our first trip and the fact that you remembered my name when we came back that I had to come back and get certified with you folks. Maybe next trip we can go make some bubbles.

Don... had a great time on the boat. Real men are not afraid to hug are they??

With a little luck I may have my own dive partner next trip, Ramona and our son Mitchell are both looking at getting certified. I am really looking forward to that. For now I plan to play in the pool as often as I can and get out to the West Coast hopefully a couple of times this year.

Until next trip...

This was the best dive time I have had yet. The kind folks at Maui Dreams Dive Co. treat you like family and pay great attention to every detail, making sure you have a great time while you learn. Our Advanced Open Water class was filled with knowledge and laughs.

Mahalo... you guys rock!!!

I had such and incredible experience with the folks at Maui Dreams getting my Advanced Open Water certification. They are fun and helpful and can pretty much guarantee a fabulous time in Maui.

I can't wait to come back for years to come. This is the place to have attend to your diving needs!

Nicole & I had never been SCUBA Diving before and Jay made our first experience a great one!

We really appreciated his patience and tips for working out our individual kinks. I see certification in our future and hope to come back to dive at Molokini.

My husband and I just returned from Maui where we did a two tank shore dive at Ulua Beach with Jay.

We found Maui Dreams Dive Co to be a very professional and safety-minded organization.

Our dives were excellent and we cannot say enough good things about our guide who gave an excellent pre-dive briefing of the local marine life, water, etc. Jay was very patient and helpful with fitting rental gear and assembling gear at the dive site.

We highly recommend your company for new divers through to the advanced and look forward to diving with Maui Dreams in the future.

My son Collin and his girlfriend Nadine sent me pictures of the underwater pumpkin carving contest and it looks so fun. When we come to Maui next November we are definitely going to try scuba diving with you guys. They loved it and have learned a new pass time. Thanks for the wonderful pictures.

Thanks for the class, you guys made learning to dive so much fun. You will be seeing a lot of me as I continue my education through you and buy my own gear.

My boyfriend, Joscha, and I returned from Maui last night. We did an introductory dive at MDDC and it was the highlight of our trip! We want to thank Charlie for being so great with us!! He is fantastic with beginners. We both felt completely safe and comfortable in the water with him. We loved the beautiful creatures we saw, & appreciate that he showed us pictures of some fish we might see so we'd know what they were. I know the dive is something he has done many times before, but he helped make it so fun and exciting for us. I just registered for the online PADI certification course. I'll never go to another dive shop on Maui and I'll make sure any of my friends who go there come and see you too. I'll be back to do my open water training dives!

Charlie, you've set my expectation that there will be Oreos!

Thanks for everything. Paul, you are a great instructor and we had a lot of fun with you. I still can't believe it, we are certified open water divers.

The trip to Makena Landing was the perfect dive in the end. Lot's of turtles and even sharks.

In case we come back to Maui, we will definitely come back to you guys.

Thank you so much Jim and Charlie for showing us such a great time on all our dives!

Jim your knowledge and obvious care for all creatures of the ocean was really great to see. The PPB course gave us so much more confidence and its so good to know nobody else will (hopefully) ever see me do a 'butt' decent (remember.. what happens under the water stays under the water).

Charlie, your wit and 'grace' in and out of the water was greatly appreciated (as were your Oreos). As 'new divers our confidence has grown immensely thanks to you both and we are now both hooked as far as future diving goes - we will definitely be back to dive with Maui Dreams and whole heartedly recommend you to everyone looking for a great dive experience with the pros!

See you in the future - all the best and thanks again.

Thank you so much for the postcard from our last dive, I still can't get over how many awesome creatures we had a chance to see. Rachel was an amazing instructor for my certification dives and I would completely recommend her to anyone thinking about diving.

Thank you again for all your help and the postcard... I'm still hoping to see some of the other pictures you took on the dive (especially the manta-rays!)

I love you guys! I come over to Maui every year with a group from our shop and make it a point to make all of our purchases and rentals through Maui Dreams. Your shop is always a fun place to hang out and get the best advice on the island. I can't wait to see you guys next week!

Thank you Teri for your great expert help in helping me buy all my scuba gear!!

Maui Dreams is the best dive shop in Maui!

When I was certified four years ago with another shop on Maui, I overheard Stella teach her student more than my instructor from the other place did. I shut up, listened to her and learned a great deal.

The small store is busy because it is the best dive op in Kihei. Any problem for any diver and they were all over it.

They have a reputation for excellence that is well deserved. If only all operators had the customer service ethos like these folks.

Two thumbs up or perhaps a double shaka. They are the bomb. I would reccomend anyone to use this group.

Thanks for the excellent support.

Hi Rachel,

Mahalo for the cool postcard of my scooter dive! It just arrived today and reminded me again of what a great time I had with the 2-scooter dives with you back in June. Lots of fun flying, thorough critter IDing, turtles etc.

You offer a great, safety-conscious service, and next time I'm on Maui, you'll see me again.

Maui Dreams rocks!

G'Day from London!

We are back after a month on your beautiful islands. Amelia and I want to say a big thank-you to Paul and Kris for teaching the Open Water course and opening the door for new adventures around the world.

So cool to see a dolphin even if it was a plastic one on Kris's belt!

Thanks to Don for the tips on the mask it fits so good that I still wear it around the house! We will be back for some lava tube dives. Thanks again Paul for everything. Be good!

Take care,

G'day from down under!

Just a quick note to say that it was great hooking up with you guys in Beqa (Fiji) two weeks ago.

My dive group headed back to OZ whilst Melissa, baby Jack and I moved onto Sonasaili resort where we got married and dived the Mamanuka Islands.

I hope that our paths will again cross some day, and if I can be of any assistance with any plans to visit us down here in God's country, please let me know.

Hi Don - we are back to the grind in Colorado but the boys are still dreaming of the awesome dives they had with you!

Jerry and I wanted to say thanks for being so wonderful to the boys. They truly had a marvellous experience. I think you might have made divers out of a couple of them. Tim and Ryan are already asking about getting certified at the Community Center.

We hope to be able to come back again. We will most definitely email if we do!

Aloha and Mahalo!!

Maui Dreams serves as a great dive ambassador to the rest of the world!

My Fiji trip truly changed my life. The dives gave me hope for the survival of our marine life in the Pacific. Teri led the way to honoring our hosts in Beqa Lagoon with honestly sharing our good fortune with the people of the island by making gifts of all of the equipment like flashlights, batteries, books, paper, pencils and one couple of our group actually donated a digital camera to the local village school!

It was a great way to make sure we stayed under the weight limit on the plane on the trip back to the U.S.! Teri really made it easy for us to take an interest in the people behind the scenes at the resort. We gathered great dive memories in and out of the water by extending our dive family to include the Fijian families that made it possible for us to share their beautiful waters!

As Teri has often said, "I could happily spend the rest of my life on a safety stop atop a bommie in Fiji!"
