Thank you for visiting our web site. Cast your VOTE about Maui Scuba Diving on these Internet Sites My husband & I dove Molokini Crater with Ed Robinson's on Christmas Eve and had a wonderful time. This was our first sea dive (freshwater only before)and I was very very nervous. Our divemaster Dave, could not have been more helpful and understanding. He took extra time to calm me down and explain everything, that by the time we got into the water I don't know why I was worried !!! Everything we needed was taken care of, and the knowledge the guys had of the area and what to look for was great. We booked this trip through reputation on the internet and couldn't have had a better time with anyone else, the only down side was we had run out of time and couldn't book another trip before returning home. Once again, many thanks to the team and especially to Dave - it was much appreciated. Happy new year to you all. Fiona & Dean Fiona Simpson Fort Worth , Tx USA - Thursday, December 30, 2004 at 01:41:36 (EST) Dove "Molokini Crater" with your crew Scott/Mark/Jim on 9/9/04. 1. The scenery was absolutely fantastic. 2. The crew was friendly, helpful and professional. 3. The overall experience "AWESOME"! Can't wait to get back and dive the "Cathedral". THANKS TO ALL AGAIN! Laurence Cangro Commack, NY USA - Thursday, September 30, 2004 at 16:05:16 (EDT) Horray to Evalyn, This was my 3rd time diving with Ed Robinsons. Always a great experience with smiling faces. I was lucky enough to book the cottage this time and it was FABULOUS. I really felt like I was at home. The hospitality is unmatched, thorough and very professional! They were even kind enough to mail be back my sunglasses, I accidentally left behind. Even though there are plenty of other dive destinations I have yet to discover, I always find myself coming back to Maui and Ed Robinsons. You wont be disappointed! Sincerely Samia aka Supastar Samia Searle Las Vegas, NV USA - Monday, September 20, 2004 at 14:14:00 (EDT) We chartered one of your dive boats the week of 10/20/03. We had such a good time that we quickly booked 2 more dive trips. Thank you so much Captain John,Will,Ricardo,Aimie and I'm sorry but I can't remember everybody elses name. Horrible with names, great with faces. We are planning another trip sometime in 2005. We will be booking several trips with ERD and no other. This had been my husbands and my 2nd trip with you guys, but the 1st trip for my sisters-in-laws and brothers-in-laws. They all had a great time and we have some 600 to 800 pictures taken on the 3 trips, along with some pictures of the crew. Such knowledge shared with us before and after our dives. THE VERY BEST!!!!! You guys would probably remember us even though you meet so many people each year, but on the very first day you had our names, personal information and never mixed us up. Again, we thank you so much for the greatest pleasure of our diving experiences. Anytime, you guys are over in Northern California look us up and we will share our boat and dive sites. The best to Captain John and the rest of the crew. The Webers (Paul,Mary,Tim,Shauna,Zack) Mary Weber Sebastopol, ca USA - Wednesday, August 11, 2004 at 11:54:40 (EDT) Of the 3 weeks in Maui, I spent nearly 2.5 weeks diving with Ed Robinson's, (I even had a chance to meet and speak with Ed on two particular days). I have taken a lot of video on 28, (20 of which were with Ed robinson's, the others were shore dives), different different dives and want to thank the entire crew of both boats for making this trip the most enjoyable by far. So thank you Ed, Billy, Mark, Mike, Scott, Ricardo, Amy and Amy, Jim, Jarrot, Will, and anyone on the crew that I may have missed. Special thanks to Scott and Amy, it's alway nice to know where the boat is! I'll see you on the next trip to Maui. Jim McDonald Anchorage, AK USA - Thursday, August 05, 2004 at 15:29:05 (EDT) everyone has asked "what was the best part of your trip to hawaii" and the answer is "the diving"-- specifically with you guys. we were really impressed with the smoothness of the operation --very professional, very competent, and also very comfortable. you're good at what you do and are also really nice people--thanks for three great days of diving! alison connolly boston, massachusetts USA - Monday, August 02, 2004 at 07:17:18 (EDT) Sorry my comments took so long, however I had the pleasure of diving with Bird and Kim, they were knowledgable, friendly. They really went the extra mile finding stuff I never experienced before. The 2 tank Molokini dives were incredible, the 3 tank adventure dive was also a winner. These guy's know their stuff! I cannot stop thinking about Maui and the diving experiences still to this day. Thanks, I will be back again next year. Mahalo from Reg Reg Kopp Calgary, Alberta Canada - Sunday, August 01, 2004 at 18:19:41 (EDT) I was a first time 2-tank boat diver when my husband and I joined the Ed Robinson boat trip out to Molokini Crater, Maui, this 7/15. Having just been certified the day before under the excellent tutelage of Bill Hannan, I still had the 1st-time boat dive jitters. The entire staff, especially our dive master Will, put me (and my husband) at total ease so that we were able to relax, breathe slowly and enjoy the brilliant fish and coral to 65 ft. underwater! The onboard pictures of fish and brief discription of some unique fish behavior was enlightening and fun. The yummy snacks and warming towels were much appreciated too. All the crew were kind and professional, but lighthearted and clearly love their jobs. If you're a seasoned diver or just starting, you won't go wrong with this outfit in quality or care!! jacquie Acton, MA USA - Friday, July 30, 2004 at 16:24:06 (EDT) Just returned from one week on Maui, which included two awesome dive trips with the Ed Robinson team. Thanks to Amy and Ricardo under water and Marc, Jim and John above - everything was just perfect. Will be back... Mahalo! Ralf Ralf San Francisco, CA USA - Friday, May 28, 2004 at 21:32:57 (EDT) Now that vacations are over, and I am fully back into the working land, I would like to thank the whole team for a great experience. Starting with Gail Tredwell, who helped me with the planning phase of the trip. It was perfect. Thanks so much! Then we get to the instruction portion, since my plan was to go through the Open Water Certification and Advanced Certification in five days - Bill Hannan, the PADI Course Director, and my instructor, helped me get there in just five days (mornings or afternoons). It was an incredible experience, which I will never forget! Thanks so much Bill, for sharing all those tips with me, and for making the classes a real fun experience! And then, the boat dive, where I had the pleasure to meet captain Byrd, and the divemasters, Ricardo and Will! Thanks to all of you as well. You made the boat trip and the dives a very enjoyable experience. The Molokini backside wall dive, and the dive at the front of the crater were just superb. So summarizing, a very nice team of truly professional people! Thank you all!! This guy from Spain, living in Kansas City, will be back!!! Mariano Garrido-Lopez Kansas City, MO USA - Thursday, May 27, 2004 at 19:17:41 (EDT) Who leaves home without his dive book and card? I did!!! I was panicked and thought I would not be able to dive on my recent trip to Maui. I called you & and spoke with Scott. He contacted PADI and got my dive record... I had 6 FABULOUS Dives with your company and Scott also happened to be my Dive Master for each of those dives. I cannot express enough gratitude to Scott and Ed Robinson's dive company. Scott was great. He was very thorough on all the dives. I really enjoyed the entire troup. Thanks to John, Bill, Bird,Adam, and Kim as well. I will recommend you guys to anyone I know going to Maui to dive. A truly professional group...Mahalo!!!! Bob Pollock Willowick, Ohio USA - Wednesday, April 21, 2004 at 12:38:47 (EDT) I just wanted to drop you a note to let you know what a great group of people you have working for you. I have been diving with alot of outfits all around the US and carribean and you guys are by far the best run, friendliest group I have had the pleasure of diving with. John, Scott, Will, Jim, Kim, and the rest of the crew were terrific, Please tell them hello for me, and I will be back. Rick Malinas Concord, oh USA - Tuesday, April 20, 2004 at 11:04:06 (EDT) Hey I really liked the Cathederal dives they were really fun and I saw a lot of fish I had never seen before. Wil was a really good dive master. Oh yeah I really liked that Viper eel. Hey thanks for a great week of diving! sincerely,Jordan Jordan Easter Bountiful , Ut. USA - Thursday, April 15, 2004 at 23:37:26 (EDT) Just wanted to say THANKS to everyone at ERDA! My husband Michael and I have a terrific experience diving this past Friday, April 9th. Dave was our dive master (and master he was), Will was the other dive master and terrific nature guide, John was our mighty captain, and Sir Adam the crew. This was our third official dive past our cert - and this was by far the best company we have ever dove with. From your amazing attention to detail to your terrific staff, everything from the moment we arrived was taken care of. I loved the nature talks by Will and the rest of the team on what we would see and experience - that made the dive that much more interesting. I loved the fact that Dave truly cared about us, how we were and if we were having a good time. As fairly new divers - it was important to me that he was so concerned. Dave was terrific at pointing out all of the sea life and giving each diver a chance to see things up close. John and the rest of the crew was as funny as can be - and boy that man can drive a boat! And Adam - he was always there to lift my gear on me and yank me out of the water (which when you are small like me is REALLY important). The snacks, drinks, and towels made the day quite complete. Keep up the good work and we hope to see you again real soon! Keep us posted if you open up "shop" somewhere else or when you take off-island trips as we'd love to tag along! Mahalo! Alison Leigh Reilly Chandler, AZ USA - Monday, April 12, 2004 at 03:12:03 (EDT) I want to thank you for making our dive trip with you to Molokini a memorable experience. We all appreciated the efforts your team made on our behalf before, during and after the dives. You guys are the best! And we plan on telling everyone! Barry Engelman Tarzana, CA USA - Sunday, April 11, 2004 at 18:29:37 (EDT) Just wanted to say my experience with you guys was great. First read about you guys at www.scubadivinguniverse.com After reading the review on the site "scubadivingunivers.com", I decided try give it a try and it was great. Thank you for your great service. Larry Prescot Medford, OR USA - Monday, April 05, 2004 at 17:04:05 (EDT) I wanted to drop you a note to say how much Donna and I enjoyed our ERDA trip on Saturday 3/14. We had Amy as a divemaster and she was just great. Plenty of information, patience and humor. Ricardo was also on board with another group, and kept all of us entertained and well informed. We did the St.Anthony and the back wall of Molokini and had a terrific time. As a boat owner, it was also a treat to watch Capt. John handle Sea Diver II, as well as take care of seting up equipment,etc. (John, how do you keep all the names straight?) If you're planning a dive trip in Maui, you have to give these guys a try, you will not regret the choice. The overall experience was tremendous, We'll be back!!! P.S. to Amy: Drop us a note to let us know how the injured turtle in the wreck is doing, we sure hope she makes it. Also, we'll let you know in advance when our son and Daughter-in-law will be coming to Maui in May so you can arrange a trip. Thanks again, Bill and Donna FitzGerald Bill FitzGerald Centennial, Co USA - Thursday, March 18, 2004 at 16:41:15 (EST) Will and Ricardo of Ed Robinson's Diving Adventures did a very good job in leading our group on the 3 Tank Adventure dive a couple of weeks ago. Will was the dive master for our group, and was very helpful in assisting us. He made our first 130 dive a pleasant experience; we had only been to 100 feet in previous dives. Will pointed out rare species and helped me work through my apprehension in encountering sharks; next time, no problem. He also provided assistance in avoiding a few potential problems (ie - loose tank and rapid ascent). Thanks Will - you made our diving experiences on Maui interesting and safe. We appreciate your efforts. Jackie Jabs Two Harbors, MN USA - Sunday, March 14, 2004 at 18:19:41 (EST) Mr. Robinson, Now that I have left the fun world for the working land I would once again like to thank your whole gang for such a great two days and four dives. Your dive operation is the very best that I have ever experienced. Dollars and time well spent. The Lanai experience was a real mind opener that will truely poll me through the rainy days of Seattle. Although the diving is great here also; Thank you Ed for letting Mark and Kim and Scott share your Maui County world and take your boats made in my part of the world out. I hope others have half as much fun i had! Marc Sidell Medina, WA USA - Tuesday, February 24, 2004 at 04:44:43 (EST) We have a family of 5 who all dove in Feb. this year. Our son who was experiencing his 3rd and 4th dive and our daughters 14, 13 at the time had a wonderful time. We had all dove in Australia 3 months prior on the Great Barrier Reef and all three said they enjoyed this dive more! Thanks Ed for a wonderful family experience. jamie austin, tx USA - Sunday, February 22, 2004 at 14:25:31 (EST) I had a great time today and Sunday diving with your team. The freedom and animal knowledge everyone had really made the dive. The briefings were wonderful. What more can I say but I had a great time and I have never seen a white tip shark without a dorsal fin. Thanks Ed for letting your gang take out your boats and give me such a great time. I can't wait til next YEAR!!! Marc Sidell Medina, WA USA - Wednesday, February 18, 2004 at 21:32:10 (EST) I was in Maui over christmas for our annual business retreat. I was a bit nervous because of my fear of sharks at first but I had a great time. Highly Recommended. Stephen Bate USA - Saturday, February 07, 2004 at 10:50:57 (EST) I went diving in Maui last winter. It was my first time and it was amazing. Guy Jacobson Abberville, AL USA - Saturday, January 31, 2004 at 20:34:15 (EST) Awesome Dive Operation!!! My wife and I just came back from diving Molikini, both crater and wall sides. Our Crew which included Will and Ricardo were just outstanding. Very patient with the group, calming with just the right amount of encouragement! Will, thanks again buddy! The staff makes ALL the difference, we'll be back! David Cheong Orlando, FL USA - Sunday, January 25, 2004 at 21:47:08 (EST) I had an absolutely fantastic experience diving with you in September 2003. I saw so much that I would have completely missed without you as guides. Thank you for the wonderful dives and for making me feel so welcome in Maui. Michele Petteni London, UK - Tuesday, January 20, 2004 at 10:00:22 (EST) The worlds greatest dive company and what a great site too!! When I am not working with the charity commission looking for worthy causes to donate money to I like the old scuba. Father Gettunkle Andspitroastmi Italy - Sunday, January 18, 2004 at 21:48:47 (EST) Just wanted to say thanks for a great dive. Amy, Bird, Kim and Mike really go beyond to make the experience memorable. I can't say enough about your crew and operation. Brent Aiea, HI USA - Saturday, January 17, 2004 at 12:34:21 (EST) Ted, Jim and I had the pleasure of going on a three tank adventure with Byrd, Mike, John and Amy on December 14, 2003. It was awesome! We dove the back side of Molokini, the WWII Tank, and Red Hill. The information given prior to each dive was invaluable, and the expertise of the crew and divemasters was exceptional. We can't wait to come back! Thank you all so much for an incredible experience. Karen Tacoma, WA USA - Friday, January 09, 2004 at 14:11:29 (EST) We'd like to thank John and Byrd (sorry I can't remember the other 2 crew on our boat) for making our first "real" dive such an enjoyable experience!! Everyone we were in contact with at Ed Robinson's was very professional and friendly. Our boat was mostly "newbies" like us and the staff was very patient and did an excellent job. I highly recommend this company-you won't be disappointed!!! Laurie and Steve Augusta, ME USA - Tuesday, January 06, 2004 at 15:54:15 (EST) hey guys, this year was awesome, you know that you guys rock with everything that you do, the whales, diving, and just the company ruled, shout out to ricardo, amy and mark, and john, because all you guys where awesome, ill be back next year and you will have the joy once again to have me aboard, i would never go anywhere else you guys make everything so easy and fun and make the whole experience one to remember you guys rule gianna strohm Columbus, OH USA - Tuesday, January 06, 2004 at 12:22:21 (EST) |
