Comments	Some of the biggest and healthiest hard coral we've seen. On Maui, Molokini Crater, and Lanai. Lots of sharks, saw black tips, white tips, grays, and galapagos sharks on one dive on the back wall of the crater. Mantas seen frequently. A number of orange frogfish, and a painted yellow frogfish. First time to see a helmet gunard, in 30 feet of water off of Cliff House reef. Plenty of good macro life, also. Nudibranchs, bloe dragons, and either a pygmy wrasse or a yellowtail coris. Stayed at the northwest end of Maui in Kapalua, which is farther away from the Crater, but closer to Lanai and some good shore/shallow dives on the north end. AA Vacations had an all you can golf special at Kapalua, so we got in a lot of golf, also. Hard a large villa with an extra large porch with a garden hose, great for rinsing equipment.
