The first dive site was called "middle reef". We got into the water at 08:54 AM. We dove to 80 feet for 39 minutes. Water temperature was 81F. I wore a 3mm "shorty" wetsuit and had 12 lbs of weight.
After a surface interval of 54 minutes, we dove at a spot called "Aquarium". We dove to 63 feet for 38 minutes on the 2nd dive.
There were fun dives. On the way back to the harbor, some dolphins joined us on the way back.
After diving, we headed back to the hotel. Later that night, we had dinner at the famous Hali'imaile General Store. The website describes the restaurant like this: "Hali'imaile General Store is consistently rated one of Maui's Best Restaurants having won Honolulu Magazines’ Hale ‘Aina Award for Top Maui Restaurant 8 of the last 9 years among many other awards." After eating our dinner, I agree, this was the best food we had on Maui. We shared two appetizers, the Sashimi Napoleon (layers of smoked salmon, ahi tartare, sashimi ahi and crispy won tons with wasabi vinaigrette) and Bev’s “Famous” Crab Pizza (handmade six-inch pizza crust with the “I’ll never tell” crab topping). The crab pizza was very delicious. I can see why she safeguards the recipe. For dinner, I had one of the signature dishes, the Hunan style rack of lamb. It was delicious. Jennifer had the special, the miso glazed furikake Monchong. She loved it. For desert, we shared the Lilikoi Brûlée and Almond Brittle Cup, a rich Lilikoi Brûlée served in an almond brittle cup over fresh berries in a raspberry coulis. Dinner was awesome and a great way to end the trip.
By the way, this sign was funny:
