restricted in my activity to diving. Well, why I love Maui's scuba diving and
Maui has its great surfing as well. In fact,
there are a few surfing breaks offshore
that rival any of Hawaii's great surfing.
Oahu, of course, is the king of the surfing
world. But Maui's great surfing deserves
recognition, and many of my map
customers have requested that I include
surfing spots. Yes, I also love the surfing
in Maui, and thus this map also features
over 30 of Maui's most known and notable
surf spots.
Eventually I realized that Maui is such an
amazing island, with so many things to
see and do that I also had to create a
second Maui map. Franko's Dive Map of
Maui does a fabulous job at showing off
what I love about Maui the most, but there
is a need for a second Maui Map. So, in
case you need to know all of the great
things to see and do on Maui - including
its top few diving and surfing spots, plus
100 more things to see and do, you ought
to have a look at Franko's Guide Map of
Maui.
As I have learned from experience, it turns
out that the number one thing to see or do
on Maui is the underwater. Snorkeling
may be the number one activity in Hawaii
in general, but most specifically for
visitors to Maui. So whereas Franko's
Guide Map of Maui captures Maui's real
essence, this map captures the part of
Maui that I really love the most - the
underwater. Of course, everyone knows
that I am an ocean nut, and that is part of
snorkeling. Franko's Dive Map of Maui
shows the viewer most of Maui's most
popular diving and snorkeling
destinations, gives you the locations on
the map, and guides you with a
description. I've noted that diving in the
same spot several times, I could describe
the experience rather differently each
time. Maui diving is different in different
weather and at different times of day as
well. I would suggest that you use this
map of Maui diving and make mental
notes or a journal to create your own
memories of the many dive sites. In a way,
this map is my own journal of Maui. Also,
Franko's Dive Map of Maui is a good
check list for divers and snorkelers.
When developing this map I didn't dive
every single spot in Maui in every
different condition (that would take a life
time). However, I did tap into the vast
knowledge of Maui's numerous dive
experts from its many scuba and
snorkeling shops. In fact, a special thanks
goes to my fellow Los Alamitos High
School alumnus, Rachel Domingo of
Maui Dreams Dive Company of Kihei.
Rachel not only encouraged and helped
me with her immense enthusiasm and
knowledge of Maui's wonderful diving,
she also provided fabulous underwater
photography of fish and turtles on this and
other maps that I produce. Maui's dive
scenery is so photogenic and Rachel is a
master at photographing it! A few little
