Comments	I dived with Ed Robinson twice before (1999, 2003) and was very satisfied. To my dismay, this trip it seemed that the operation has slipped in quality. To be fair, I dived during a very crowded Christmas week, and I may have been seeing the second team. The boats themselves are still efficient and competently run. What I didn't like was the dive guides; their attitude and level of experience leave much to be desired. An example: our guide explained that if you need to work your way up a current by hanging onto the bottom (this had just happened to our group), it is perfectly acceptable to break coral since 'mother nature breaks coral all the time'! (This was in the Molokini natural reserve -- and there was plenty of dead coral and lava rocks to hang onto). I dived once with Prodiver Maui and liked them much better. This is a classy six-pack operation with experienced and careful staff. When I come back to Maui they will be my first choice.
