Looking at the time you are all 30-40 feet under in such a pristine world of frog fish, turtles, and other divers. We had a great time a few weeks ago. The most dives we have made in one week. We wear our MDDC shirts all the time. Rachel and Barrett, thank you for Ulua and Milepost 14 dives. We still dream of Maui and will be back soon. Mahalo and Aloha lives!!!

ALOHA from the arctic temps in good ole' Indiana. I can't express my gratitude to Teri for such an awesome Intro dive while I was on Maui for Spring Break...I fully intend to return to Maui Dreams in August to get my Open Water Certification. :) *and a big thanks to Don and Jim for putting up with me in the shop while my aunt was in her classes and out on the dives, I had a lot of fun talking to Jim and Don...it was 31 flavours of greatness and supreme wootage! See you in the Water!

Please let Jim know that a former intro-dive student, Matt Sakiyama, completed his PADI certification at Dolphin Dive in Arcadia, CA last week.

Matt's 3 dives were completed off Catalina Island on one of the coldest days of the year in so. Cal. where the water temp was at least 20 degrees lower than off Wailea. We recalled Jim's thorough instruction, patience, and "fun" attitude. We were challenged to find equal instruction here at home. We're looking forward to be back in Kihei/Wailea soon and book a guided tour through Maui Dreams. The smaller, yet full-service dive shop like Maui Dreams makes the difference in receiving a better dive experience. THANK YOU! and please thank Jim.

Greetings!

Just thought I would throw some more words of praise out there for your fine store and awesome staff!

I originally visited your store in September of 2002 during my honeymoon. I discovered that your place was one of the few dive stores that made me feel at home and actually looked like a dive store.

Unfortunately I never got the chance to go on any formal scheduled shop dives, but that didn't stop Barrett from jumping in and volunteering a whole weekend to take me out diving. I had a blast! I can't thank him and Tom enough for everything they did for me when I was there.

I still rave about your shop and staff to anyone who will listen to me. It's always fun to see my fellow local divers wearing your t-shirts too.

Barrett - I never did send you your CD of pictures - but they're all on-line - even yours that you gave me copies of.

Thanks again!

Rachel, the scooter dive was great. Ed Robinson boat dive you recommended was excellent. They were very informative on the dives and the pace was relaxing. I've spent 40 yrs diving and these dive guides made all the new divers feel relaxed with the slow pace to see the wonders of the liquid world. Thank you for a great time. E-mail me any divers that want to see the wonders of the cold but beautiful waters of washington state. The vis isn't like Maui but 30-50 ft is common. Lots of sea life to view.

I really enjoyed taking the dive certification class with my sons Chris and Kyle. I hope we can return to Maui soon for some night dives and a scooter dive. Tell Don that I sent the dive trip report and some photos to your email. Thanks for a great time in Maui!

Greetings from snowy Kansas! BRRRR!!!! :{

My husband and I got our open water certification this last March with Don, and was so incredibly grateful for his patience and fun-loving attitude. We had such a great time with you Don! And you definitely got us hooked on scuba diving. We loved it so much, we talked our friends into becoming certified too.

After surviving Hurricane Wilma when we went scuba diving in Cozumel in October, we are definitely ready for the calm, beautiful waters of Maui when we come back in March '06.

We are looking forward to some more great shore dives with Don and our newly certified friends!

Thanks again Maui Dreams!! You all are the best!!!!

Aloha to Rachel and Barrett,

So nice to meet and spend time with you both.

Barrett is was cool seeing you one more time at Ulua our last week there. You're a crack up.

Rachel - thanks so much for taking us out on our brush up dive. Ulua is just such a beautiful spot. You made us feel so so comfortable. You have a beautiful and joyful spirit and your love for the water is contagious.

Sorry we missed the pumpkin carving. Thanks for inviting us. We ended up on the other side of the island but got to experience Front Street on 10/31. Pretty crazy :)

Please let me know if the other shots you took from our dive that day are available to view and purchase. My sister Heather and hubby Noah are also interested.

Looking forward to visiting again soon.

Lovely bubbles to ya!

Cheers,

Jen and Rollie

A BIG WARM MAHALO TO DON, RACHAEL, BARRETT, SHARON,TERRY, AARON, TOM, CHARLIE AND JIM for the most fun I have had underwater! :):) The Underwater Pumpkin Carving Contest was just that.Too much fun! I didn't know I could laugh underwater without drowning myself.HAHA! The creativity, wit, ideas and degigns were something to write home about,of which I already have! The awards celebration was a hoot and the prizes most generous.The never ending smile on both Don and Rachaels face just shows us how much they enjoy their work as well as all their friends. THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH for making diving more than fun!!!!! It is an adventure!

Rachel,

I have finally settled myself in after my glorious trip. I just wanted to fully let you know about my best time there, scuba diving with you. I saw Mark at the airport when I left and told him how greatful I was that he sent me to you. I couldn't of had a better teacher for open water than you were. Believe me, I will be back, and will only be coming straight to your shop. Only downfall, my cheap camera didn't take good pics, all were quite blurry. If you could send me any pics that you may have from our dives, I would be so greatful! Anyway, thanks so much for your awesome training, and trust me, I will be back next summer!!!

Charlie, we had a great time on our dive with you. After diving with the company in Kauai we realized how much you spoiled us. Their equipment was old and didn't fit right, their regulators were very difficult to breath with and they were not the friendliest bunch. We really appreciate your attention to detail, great equipment and great staff. Thanks so much for making our 1st dive a pleasant experience. Take care and thanks for the great dives!

A great big huge thanks to the Maui Dreams diving staff! We had such a good time and found the equipment (very important) to be of good quality unlike the "other" dive shop we tried while on Maui. If it wasn't for Barrett, I would not have made it through the 1st dive. He was great to dive with and made me feel very comfortable after an initial nervous start. If you dive with Barrett, be ready to take his mischief though! Seriously, we are glad to have had the experience and both Barrett and Tom were terrific. We'll be return customers for sure and want to do our certification dives with Maui Dreams because of the good experience we had. Thanks again and we'll see you soon! Yes Barrett...that is a threat :o)

Thank you to the entire staff at Maui Dreams Dive. What a pleasant experience I encounter each time I walk into your shop.Friendly,fun and always focused on my personal needs. I look forward to every opportunity to stop by just to and see your smiling faces! You are the best!!!!

A great big thank you to Rachael for certifying my 3 kids - Annie, Janelle, and Bert. They loved you. You helped them get a start on a lifetime adventure. Thanks for the great pictures too.

What a handsome guy you have there, you know the one from Boston, Aron. That's the only picture we have seen of him since he was last home for a visit. Mom and Dad

A BIG thank you to the shop folks for the quick look at my regulator while I was on vacation. Your professional service and knowledgeable staff made for a very positive experience and allowed me to continue my vacation with confidence.

Thanx!

Mahalo nui loa to instructors Jim and Barrett for an awesome day of diving. With their help, I made my first dives in 8 years, and felt right at home. I loved the "Turtle Cleaning Station" and enjoyed all the undersea critters that were pointed out. The wonderful day that I spent with these two experienced, knowledgeable, and friendly dive guides was the highlight of my Maui trip. I strongly recommend Maui Dreams to diving aficionados one and all.

aloha,

-Teresa

Hi!

I just wanted to say thanks for making my trip to Maui PERFECT!! I am so happy to have completed my Open Water certification with you guys--the training was great and it's obvious that you really LOVE to dive and it shows (the dolphins, eagle ray and tons of turtles helped of course!) I'm thinking of you--still have my watch set to Maui time and am considering changing my name to Ulua. Dave had a great time too and we're trying to steal away to Bonaire sometime this fall to finally dive together!

Hope to see you all again! In the meantime, I'm passing along your name to the instructors here so that they can send more Hawaii-bound students your way!!

We just wanted to thank everyone @ Maui Dreams for such a great Intro Dive. Anne was very nervous that morning and the staff took her aside and reasured her, what to expect. She made the dive and loved it.Really great people! Thanks again!

Hey Guys!!! Miss ya all. Nothing like Maui Diving and the folks at Maui Dreams. So Whats New Pussycat? Whooo-oo-oo-o-wooo-ooooo. Keep Barrett out of trouble, ok? Aloha.
