Comments	We dove with Ed Robinson's Diving Adventures based on Undercurrent reviews and were happy that we took the advice.The boat leaves from the Kehei boat ramp after being towed to the ramp area.(all operations in that area do the same). Shop was set up on the back of the boat by John,one of the Captains. Dive equiptment was brought on board by one of the crew after introductions and paperwork and also set up for you.After the boat was put in the water we boarded via a concrete dock. The Captain (John) would discuss the current weather conditions and then poll the divers as to what everyone wanted or hoped to see. A good briefing was given by the Captain and the a site briefing by one or both Divemasters which entailed the site and critters to be expected to be seen.Hand signals for critters were discussed along with such signals as to remember so that the D/M 's could better explain something back on board.We did two days of two tank diving and then the three tank adveture dive. We saw sharks(white tip) on all but one dive and viewed everthing from turtles to some small invertabrates. Also spotted were some of the largest 12+ frogfish that I have seen to a few babies which were about 2 inches in length. Once the dive was completed the D/M's,Amy,Dave and Ricardo were more than happy to discuss what was seen and to look up in their books as to the exact species.Dives were planned out as to a max depth but air hogs were sent back to the boat and on all my dives I got back on board with 500 psi. The three tank first dive was to 130 fsw for five min. where we viewed a group of 16-20 gray reef sharks along with some newborns in the three foot range. Safety stops were required and extra time where the individual wanted to do some hang time was OK. This operation was and is one of the best that we have dove with.A little pricey but all of Hawaii is so that to be expected. I would highly recommend these to anyone.
