Thank You SO MUCH! Our crew truly is the best of the best. I had the opportunity to meet a family at the harbor yesterday when my guys returned from the morning tour, who've been out with us 8 times over the years. I was told the reason they keep coming back, is because of my amazing crew. They also really appreciated the major renovations and upgrades we made to the boat. Thanks again for sharing your experience with my guys! Mahalo, Scott CEO

mixed bag. The woman working on keeping everyone fed was amazingly attentive! She is five stars and really great. The guy who led the snuba only let me go on one of the two snuba excursions. Others got double the snuba. While I signed up prior to lots of the youngsters, I think he thought a 50-year-old woman would not be into it or mind only getting one outing. It's a bummer to be stereotyped. Not much fish at the crater. No turtles. Saw more fish at Ajiji. Snorkeled with turtles at Kamaole 1.

Aloha, SNUBA diving is offered to all of our guests, as a one dive experience, at one of our two stops. This is because we are limited on the number of guests that we sign up and take SNUBA diving. It is sold on a first come first serve basis, until all spots are taken. Therefore, not many do a second SNUBA dive, and then only when another person who has signed up, decides to opt out and give their spot to someone else. This occasionally happens, when a family member changes their mind after signing up, and gives their spot to another family member, or friend, etc. In speaking to my SNUBA Instructor, Justin, he recalled a recent day, when a couple of children in a particular family, took their older family members spot, because the Uncle said the two younger ones were so excited, he and his wife decided to give their spots to the younger family members to enjoy again. This may have been the day you joined us and saw the two of them doing a second SNUBA dive. However, I am a 62 year young waterman, and most of our Captains are either over 50, or approaching 50 years of age. Your assumptions about age are incorrect. The crater is a world class snorkel destination with exceptional visibility not found along the shore line. There is a nice variety of colorful fish and coral, some endemic to the crater itself. Thank goodness for so many other guests who've been to the crater with us, that have described their experiences, about what a truly special place the crater is. You are correct, there are no Hawaiian Green Sea Turtles at the crater, because of its distance off shore. The clarity of the water and unique sightings of other marine life is part of what makes Molokini so special though. Its distance offshore occasionally attracts Hawksbill Sea Turtles, which are more nomadic by nature, but not green sea turtles. We do however see many other wonderful animals out at the crater not commonly sighted along the shoreline reefs, including Manta Rays and Whale Sharks. I'm sorry, but after living in the islands over 45 years, I have to disagree that beach snorkeling at Kamaole I, though on a good day, is far better than Miami Beach, or most other US beaches, most assuredly does not compare in any way to the unique and very special snorkeling found daily at Molokini Crater. There is so much to take in and appreciate, if you slow down and not worry so much about "counting turtles". However, because turtles are so popular, we do take you to "Turtle Town", for the second snorkel stop. Scott Turner CEO
