Day two – Monday

Today is our anniversary! We got up early to meet our dive boat for our first scuba dive of the trip. We are using Ed Robinsons shop for our dive trips. Met the boat at about 6am and then headed out to the first dive site. The boat was fast and not too crowded. Our first dive was in the crater of Molokini. Our second dive of the day was at Red Hill. We really like Ed Robinsons so far. They are really helpful on the boat and put all your stuff together for you. The other thing that I really like about them is that its so relaxed. There is no rushing to put your wetsuit on or gear up while the boat is underway which is what we’ve experienced on other dive trips. Maybe its because its Hawaii or maybe its this particular dive company but it makes it much more relaxing. Plus for me since I can get sea sick its nice not to have to struggle with putting my wetsuit on while the boat is in motion. On our dives we saw some eels and lots of coral and fish in general. Also so a spiny lobster and a big slipper lobster (funny looking). After our dives we got back to shore about 11:30. Headed to lunch at Pita Paradise. We shared some ziki bread (pita bread with cheese on top and some basil with a cucumber dill dipping sauce) to start (really yummy). Dave had a kahlua pork pita and I had the fresh catch pita – which was ahi tuna. Mine was awesome. The fish was done really nicely and I loved the cucumber dill sauce. Dave said he like his also but mine was the better of the two. After that we had shave ice and went back to the condo. I took a small nap and then we went to the 24 hour fitness to work out. Then it was off to Roy’s in Kahana for dinner. We both had a guavatini which were yummy! Then we shared some seafood ravioli which was nice. For dinner I had brown butter baked opakapaka (pink snapper) over risotto. It was really good. Dave had herb crusted mahi mahi with a teriyaki glaze… which was also good. For dessert we split some banana thing which was also very good. Overall YUMMY. I’m not sure about this Roy’s ambience though, its not bad just not much different than any of the mainland Roy’s. Later this week we’ll try Roy's in Kihei.
