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.
