Happy holidays and a fantastic 2010 to all at Maui Dreams Dive co. Our dives with Kat, Pete, Paul and Jenny were the highlight of 2009 and we're damned sure coming back. What a professional, friendly and patient crew you all are. Thanks for the experience and we look forward to seeing you all again.

Happy 2010 to everyone at MDDC! Thank you for all the great dive instruction and dive experiences of the past six years. I'm already looking forward to diving with you in February (in Maui) and in June (In Fiji and Maui). Peace and blessings to you all throughout 2010. Maui Dreams no ka oi!

Thanks to Katherine for the awesome night dive last week at Ulua. The octopi were out in force,including a loco one that seemed to have a balance problem. The large sponge crab and giant triton were the other stars of the night shift. Katherine found us everything in her briefing, so you guys need to give her a raise! Katherine, next time could you brief us a Manta and White-Tip?

Happy Holidays to the best dive shop in the WORLD!
An unforgiving schedule prevents me from appearing in person to share my experience of calling the shop earlier this week. I know about a year or so ago, Paul was trying to get his arms around the intricacies of good telephone manners and was undergoing some intense remedial training. From my conversation with him the other day, I can tell Paul has set a new standard. It was a pleasure to call and have him answer the telephone...he rolled out the red carpet and made me feel as though we were long-time buddies! His demeanor was professional, yet he exhibited enthusiasm coupled with a contagious sense of humor. So Paul, keep up the great work, your phone manners are exemplary and you're an ambassador for MDDC!
See you soon!

ALOHA!
Wow! What a fabulous trip aboard the Maui Diamond 2 on Sun. Dec. 13, 2009. Capt. Don did great maneuvers to make sure we could all see several humpback whales on our way to Molokini Crater, and bottle nose dolphin on our way home. Our dive guide Gabe led us all the way around the back wall where the viz was at least 100 ft. We saw a variety of fish endemic to the Hawaiian Islands. Several large schools of pennant fish, pyramid butterfly fish, 3 white tip sharks, a dragon nudrabranch, octopus, and 3 huge ridgeback slipper lobsters. The entire crew was very safety conscious, knowledgeable about the site and marine life, acted professional, yet had a great sense of humor as well! Thanks to Jay,SMAC, Jenny Wu and the entire crew for providing us with a fantastic dive trip! We had a blast and will highly recommend Maui Dreams Dive Company and the Maui Diamond 2 Crew to our friends and other dive enthusiasts. Mahalo to all! Happy, Healthy, Holidays!

Captain Don, Gabe-liscious, Jenny, Mary Catherine, Jay--you are all wonderful. This was one of the best dive trips of my life. The crew are fun, professional, enthusiastic, etc. The wall is always a marvelous dive, and combine it with this crew and all i can say is "what a treat"!!! Thank you so much. Elaine

OMG! The Staff at Maui Dreams has got to be one of the best in the industry. Paul is a freaking' awesome instructor. Patient, yet thorough! I'm glad to have his name on my card!

Everyone bent over backwards help us get our equipment and provided us with info on the best sites on Maui. Totally awesome to deal with! Plus, Katherine is absolutely HOT! (Don't tell her I said that)

I'm looking forward to going back to Maui and seeing every at Maui Dreams!

Thanks for everything! Y'all rock!

I just wanted to thank EVERYONE at Maui Dreams! You went out of your way to get my husband & I certified with our very limited time constraints. The all night study session was well worth it! Paul is an ABSOLUTELY AMAZING instructor & we couldnt have asked for a better experience. He is so knowledgable, friendly & just flat out fun! We are so hooked now that we are already planning on when we can come back to Maui (hopefully in 2 months!) to take get our Advance Open Water Certification even though we live in Kauai. Thanks for the GREAT time and we look forward to many more with you!!!

Our experience with Jay was exceptional!! My wife and I got an open water certification in our home state of Indiana. We went directly into doing an advanced open water cert with Maui Dreams after just one previous open water dive. The instructor Maui Dreams provided, Jay, was incredible! I highly recommend going straight from open water to advanced open water so that you are familiar with the general concepts.

Just wanted to say a big Mahalo to Maui Dreams Dive Co. for some great dives and their wonderful customer service. I did a night dive with Katherine last week and she provided an excellent dive briefing, was a very safe dive master, while helping us to find night critters with great enthusiasm. I also appreciated Teri's help in getting my friend feeling comfortable with diving again after a 10 year break. I just came back from diving the outer wall of Molikini (where we saw a plethora of sharks)and I still have a sore stomach from laughing at all of Don's jokes on the way home! I'll definitely be back for more fun.

Maui Dreams is a great dive company! On very short notice, I was able to arrange for a couple guided dives. Just for me.

Katherine obviously loves what she does, because she's an excellent guide. I said I'd like to see a manta ray, and she found me a manta ray! She also pointed out many other interests of the reef that I might have missed. What's more, she showed an extraordinary level of respect for the sea life around us, getting us close enough to watch these creatures, but not intruding.

Since I'm still relatively new to diving, her personalized guidance and advice was really awesome. Thanks again!

Finally, their rental equipment is in amazing condition. BC with integrated weights, as opposed to weight belts. This was the first time I've ever worn a rental wet suit that I didn't smell on me for the next twenty four hours. I honestly thought it was brand new!

Next time I'm on the island, Maui Dreams will be the first place I call.

Jim is THE BEST!!!! After a not so great experience with another dive company (not to be named), Jim was so patient with me on my very first dive. I now have a NEW favorite hobby. I can't wait to come back next year and go through the certification with Jim. Thank you for making this one of the best things I have ever done.

These guys are great! We couldn't have asked for a better captain in Don, gave us one hell of a ride going home. And when my wife had trouble with the dive, he was comforting and an all around great relief to her and I.

Jenny was an AWESOME scuba instructor. She really knows her stuff and was ultra-patient with me and my wife on our trip. I will be back to see them, and, at Jenny's suggestion, be completing my scuba certification.

At the end of the day, our trip was a life-changing experience for me and was the most exciting time of my vacation.

Just wanted to let you all know that we had a great time diving with you guys. Gabe was great on our day dives, Paul was fantastic for our first beach & night dive. Don & Tau we enjoyed the jokes. We'll be back to visit with you again.

Thanks again,
The Newbies

I completed your three day PADI certification back in December. Paul was a great instructor, very patient. Thank you!

Jay and Mary Katherine did a wonderful job of refreshing our basic skills before heading off for a two tank dive. Jay's instructions were clear and crisp and his guided tour of the reef revealed two rare species - scorpion fish and one that I can't remember. Mary Katherine was the "sweeper" and identified a purple slug with yellow perimeter markings. This was the BEST dive I have done!

Aloha,

Thanks to Don and Jay for a wonderful intro dive! Maui Dream Dive Co. was a great place for my first experience -- it was professionally done and it's a credit to Don and Jay for making it fun! Thanks to Rachel, too...

Regards,

Aloha! Thank you so much Don, Pete, and Ty for making our dive trip so much fun. You really put me at ease, being a new diver, and my aunt who had not dove in 20 years. We had a blast with you guys and would love to come back and dive again soon. We'll definitely recommend you to anyone as well! Mahalo.

Jay - We had a great time with our advanced diving classes, thank you.

It's been really difficult concentrating on work - I want to go diving again...

Can you send us the photo you took of us at 100 feet?

Thank you,
Barbara Torrence
