Reading the info on this thread is good even for us old guys. Here on Maui we lost three people in shallow water in the last two weeks. Right know we have a King Tide and I still see tourists in the water getting slammed. I talk to visiting divers all the time and most say the same thing. "I'm trying to get as many dives in before it's time to go home". Many people make the same mistake. They go on a shore dive in summer and enjoy clear calm water. They go back to that spot in the winter and it's a different ocean. Don't go on a dive just because it's your last few days of your vacation. If the water looks dangerous, it is dangerous. A fact they don't talk about here on the islands is more people drown on the Hawaiian Islands that all the other states combined. Check the weather and tides before you decide. Maui Don
