Thanks to Paul for taking us out on a shore dive. You were very calm and helped us all readjust to the water after not diving for a while.We will remember the positive memories of this experience.Mahalo

Hi and Aloha!

We are back in Bend and still cannot believe what a great experience it was to go diving with Rachel and Don. They were both fantastic and truly made my son and I feel relaxed and at ease with our dives.

We hope to be back next summer for more fun with Maui Dreams.

Thanks again,

Jay, thanks for all of the great dives with our group. MDDC is a very well run dive shop, which is why we returned. The boys had a lot of fun diving with you. We will see you next time.

Mahalo to Teri and Jay and all of the staff at Maui Dreams! We took our Rescue Diver course with Jay. He was VERY patient taking us through the steps. Teri did a GREAT job with EFR training! It's nice to be able to train, learn and laugh all at the same time!

We promised NOT to mention Rachel... thanks for the help in getting us in booties.. and well... we won't mention that whole wet suit conversation! What happens on Maui... stays on Maui.

Aloha!

Many thanks to all at Maui Dreams, particularly Jay, for such an awesome experience, certainly one of THE highlights of my trip. While it was only an intro dive, the diving bug has bitten and I'm eager to get back in the water!! Thanks for making it such a fun and relaxed experience. Wheels are in motion to come back and get certified, see you all back in Kihei!!(I could do it here but the water is kinda cold...)

Mahalo!

We are certainly not strangers to Maui Dreams! My wife and I have been using their services over the last several years. We're huge fans. We love the calmness and ease of doing business that we experience from your business.

I'm a big guy, 6' and over 300 lbs, and it's nice to know they have the gear to set me up.

Sometimes people feel anxious about diving, especially when not in areas they're used to. With Maui Dreams, you don't have to worry. The laid back, yet very professional experience is fantastic every time.

Thanks to Paul and Teri and the rest of the Maui Dreams team!

Hi Rachel, Don, Teri, and staff,

Thanks for being such great and fun instructors! I enjoyed my dives and training with you while I was living in Maui. I have wonderful memories with you folks. I will be seeing you soon I hope! Can't wait to be back in the water.

Aloha and Mahalo,

We dove with Maui Dreams on our vacation. Many thanks to Paul--- our excellent guide. He was very professional and friendly. The best dives that we did in Maui were alongside Paul. The rest of the staff were very helpful for rental gear and showing us where to dive....

Paul-- I hope you get some dental insurance. Gleaner shrimp are probably not that helpful in the long-term :)

Mahalo!

What can we say - Maui Dreams is the best dive shop on Maui, wish we could take you to the NW with us but then we wouldn't have a reason to come back every year. Rachel & Don - you have built a great company.

Mahalo to: Teri - Luv ya, thanks for all your help, "Superman Scooter" Jay - the scooter ride to the St. Anthony was the most fun we ever had underwater to date, Katherine (Awesome Ms. N.Y.), Capt. Pete of the Maui Diamond II, Gabe (lost snorkeler watchman - I owe you for taking a year off your life and less hair), Jim, and Paul.

See ya next June (I will of course call you in January when I put my warm water gear in the living room!!!!)

Regards,

We had a wonderful experience scuba diving with Maui Dreams Dive Co! After a very unpleasant experience with a different company on a different island last year, my husband and I swore we would never do it again. But we were a little intrigued with the idea of shore diving as opposed to diving off a boat.

So we decided to give scuba diving one more chance with Maui Dreams Dive Co.

Well, starting with the initial introduction with the very friendly Rachel we were hopeful that this time it would be different.

Our instructor, Jay, taught us everything we needed to know in a casual, laid back style. We learned all the skills in a fun, informative way.

We finally got in the water and went down 30 feet and had a blast! We're so glad we gave scuba diving another chance. We will definitely go again (with these guys!) and we recommend this company to all our friends!

Thank you for such a great experience!!

Hi Teri,

Here we are at home safe and sound missing you guys at Maui Dreams already.

We really appreciate you taking over managing the shop; you're the perfect person for the job. Not only do you have the professional management experience and scuba skills, but you are also very empathetic.

My son in Boston was already asking about meeting us there next February to do some warm water diving. Although he's certified, his future wife (we hope :~) is not, so if it all works out we'll set up a referral certification with you guys when we know the details.

Again thank you for all that you did to make diving Maui a wonderful experience for us. We're looking forward to our next visit and seeing you.

Mahalo,

Jim!!!

You pull out your slate to write relaxing techniques when it takes 6 minutes to take my mask off...in 6 feet-ahh!!

You got me instantly addicted to scuba diving with your excitement for the underwater world!!

You hold my hand when I'm narced until I safely reach sanity again!! (Jeff's jealous you won't hold his hand too :)

You helped me do the coolest fricking thing i've ever done in my life!!! (Jeff's profane night diving excitement, he was reaaaally excited)

Mahalo Jim & Maui Dreams Team for making us AOW cool kids!!!

We'll SEA you tomorrow for gear rental! :D

Teri taught a private OW course about 4 years ago with my son Nate, who was 12 at the time, and I. We had an AWESOME time. Teri had the patience of Job with my son and me.

We want you to know that YOU, Teri, are the reason that we are coming back to MDDC to take our Rescue course and rebreather intro class. My daughter will also be taking the AOW as well.

We loved our interactions with the entire MDDC staff. Rachel and Charlie were GREAT as well. Everyone made us feel as though we were part of a family, and now we're coming home to visit... and learn!

See you at the end of June!

Hi there from Germany and Aloha,

Thanks for that great time with Maui Dreams and Maui Diamond II.

Jay you did an excellent job. I appreciate your patience even with that non native English speaking guy from Germany.

You made my dreams come true - turtles, sharks and rays - a perfect birthday present.

Rachel - next time it is your turn :-)

Mahalo!

Jenny rocks! Many mahalos and many more kudos to Jenny and the Maui Diamond II and Maui Dreams. Jenny is tops and was very patient, attentive and great instructions for our Discover Scuba Dive. She was great with my children, (youngest 11) in teaching them to clear masks and other needed skills.

This dive is a forever memory for our family. Thanks for showing us the sharks, we'll be talking about that for years to come. We'll be back and asking for Jenny by name next time!

I had such a great time and thanks to you because my mom is now planning for a Bonaire scuba trip!

I showed all my friends my scuba card and they thought that it was super cool. I even showed one of my teachers and now I am on his good side. :)

Thanks Again!

I had to write to give a huge THANK YOU to everyone we met at Maui Dreams and the amazing crew we dove with on the Maui Diamond II.

This was our first trip to Maui and definitely will not be our last. I spent my first 3 days of vacation getting certified by Paul and Jay... who are as knowledgeable as they are fun!

We then went from booking only 1 day of boat dives to booking an additional 3! We cannot thank or say enough about how much fun we had diving on the Maui Diamond II. Capt. Don is simply great in every way and Pete was awesome... but of course the best was my namesake twin, Kat! Jenny and Gabe were a lot of fun too, they made the days on the boat great!

I am now officially addicted to diving and that is in big part thanks to Maui Dreams and the Maui Diamond II experiences.

Looking forward to going to Fiji in 2010 and back in Maui as soon as possible.

And oh and by the way Don, another thanks for the brownies you got for Donnie and the anniversary cupcakes... too bad you couldn't pull that whale shark out of your stern on the last day... haha! Maybe next time!

Mahalo for everything!

There are many "chain" dive shops on Maui, but only one Maui Dreams.

I have wanted to try an introductory dive for many years and talked to many different dive shops in Maui. I chose Maui Dreams because Rachel sent me an assuring email, Jim was so nice on the phone when I booked, and Jay was an amazing teacher!

Most companies cancel if they have one student for an intro. dive, but I had a solo lesson with Jay. He was clear, patient, and calm. He spent enough time with me before we dove to put me at ease. When I thought that I might not be able to dive, Jay didn't push me... he believed in me and that is a sign of a great teacher. I'm a teacher as well, so trust me when I say Maui Dreams is the place to go for professional dive instruction and dive experiences in Maui.

Thanks so much Jay for the experience of a lifetime. I'm not afraid of eels anymore!

I wanted to thank everyone at Maui Dreams and especially Charlie for making the AOW class such a great experience! Sandy and I had a great time and the class really improved our diving skills. Everyone at the shop was knowledgeable and helpful and the service was great. You will definitely be seeing us again!

I have been going to Hawaill twice a year for a long time but never ventured much to the dive shops in South Maui. I recently met Don and Rachel in Roatan. The group they were leading was always the loudest of the dive groups there and seemed to be, far and away having the most fun! I am making a point of it to try Maui Dreams this coming September! (No painted toe nails though!)

If it is half as much fun as the interaction I saw going on in Roatan, I know it will be a blast!
