Maui
Of all the Hawaiian Islands Maui offers the best of both an
exotic tropical feel and modern mainland conveniences. Warm tropical breezes
prevail along its southern and western shores. These are great locations to hop
in the water and observe Hawaii's abundant marine life. Whether just putting
on a mask and fins or suiting up for scuba diving the invertebrate and fish
populations are colorful and diverse.
There are many different coral reefs to explore on Maui. A
good guide and boat access can make off shore locations accessible. We recommend
Lahina Divers as a very professional
company that has provided us with many memorable experiences.
Below is a small sampling of the various fish, coral, and
invertebrate species found on Maui. The photographs also give a sense of the
reef formations and communities that inhabit them. We are very fortunate to have
such beautiful coral reefs only five hours from Arizona.
