1. Try using something more than “for tourists” camera sold in nearby store – 100 dim generic camera is not sensitive enough for 50ft+ dive. There is just not enough light. Hey, we want some memory about the process… not ready to spent 2000+ on equipment? Then it would work.
2. When using film based camera – process it right away at the location of the visit. Do not try to do that at home! California, Florida and some other coastal areas might be fine - there is higher chance that local photo shop will process it correctly, otherwise… you get what you get… Happens to me… now I need to play with the photo editor.
3. Otherwise, use digital camera – you will need an underwater housing for your precious camera so it does not drown.

We were on the beach almost every day and there were several group of people who were taking diving lessons. Well, not a best way to spend time on Maui. If you have an option to take diving lessons before the trip, take it. You do not want to spend several days in the water (see a group of small spots in the water near the beach) just to able finally go to the diving trip. Take lessons with your local diving shop at time convenient to you and without the rush.

OK, now a fun part. Do you want a best diving experience without being part of the 10-20-50!!! divers group (how can they even manage so many)? Do you want to get professional crew and well maintained gear? Try ProDiver Maui.

Very good and smooth trip. I will be posting some photos later if my first underwater photo session was successful, which could be not true.

ProDriver team takes only 6 people on the tour, so you might to call in advance (in my case it was 2 days, but if you are going at high season, then consider to call earlier).

PS. If you are planning to take photos while underwater, think about this ahead of time. Yes, you can buy one-time camera in any local store, but quality is not good. Plus, your film most likely will be processed not in the way you would like.

Well… in 7 years being in US we had a chance to visit many places in California, Oregon, Washington and Texas. 2 years ago we have taken a tour to Wisconsin passing 6 other states on our way here. This makes it 11 out of 50 States. No, I am not counting those airport stops…

So now it will be 12.

We have decided to stay at Maui. We are expecting it to be a nice tour… and intentions are not to just stay all days on the beach but make all way around the island.

Photos will be taken, places will be visited and you can expect more to be posted in this category.
