Just returned home from Maui. One of the highlights of my trip was diving with your most excellent outfit on 1/7 and 1/8. Everyone at the dive shop was helpful (special thanks to Jeffrey and Evalyn) and the guys on the boat couldn't have been nicer. Ken surprised everyone by "calling roll" from memory (impressive that he could call us all by name). Justin, Dave and Will worked as a team to get us underway and in the water as quickly and safely as possible. Dave made sure my dive was memorable and fun. Back the next day - Ricardo on board with Will as captain. Another fabulous day of diving with Super Dave (BTW I left fins on boat and he delivered them to the home where I stayed).
Next trip I will make sure I have at least 5 days to dive with ya'll! Thanks for your efforts to personalize the experience. I will absolutely recommend EDRA to my friends and can't wait to dive with you again. Ed, sending us off each morning with the pups along was a nice touch!

We went diving with Ed Robinson's over 3 consecutive days, which included the 2 tank daily dives and a 3 tank adventure dive. I love diving in Maui and diving with you guys makes it that much more special. A special thanks to Kim and Byrd as Kim was a fantastic divemaster. She was really great at pointing things out underwater and educating us about the different things we saw after the dives. Byrd, as well as Ricardo and Dave, took care of us topside and made the trip very entertaining....what a great group! This is my second time in Maui that I have dived with you guys and it won't be the last! I have gone through another Maui dive company and they were not as passionate at making sure the divers had a great time. Everyone on the boat and in the store welcomed us with open arms. Even having Ed (and his adorable dogs) come by in the morning to meet everybody adds a special personal touch to the dives. Thanks for making our diving in Maui so memorable! See you again soon!

Comments: Great Experience. We did 3 dives with Ed Robinson’s group. We did the adventure X dive with Ed himself. What a blast. Because of the small amount of people on these trips, and the experience level, doing the adventure X dive with Ed was a blast, as we were allowed to discuss where to go and given a large amount of freedom to dive the way we like. We did Boulders at Molikini and did a split dive between 2 small wrecks. (Secret sites!) These are dives you would never get to do with other groups. These are the special dives that you remember. Ed and his team were very gracious with us. He has a great eye and found many interesting creatures for us to photograph. Then, we were really fortunate to have Ed as our dive guide for the night dive. The night dive was a hoot. They picked a reef that was so alive, every second I was flashing my camera. On one of the dives, we had an equipment failure with one of our airsource 2 regulators. The DM’s quickly switched out equipment so we could make the dive. Ed Robinsons dive group exceeded our expectations. If you are wanting an upgraded diving experience, choose this group. Oh, and did I mention that they have fast boats? I.e. no long boat rides to the sites!

Comments: Our dive group just spent a couple days diving with you guys and I want to say how much we enjoyed it. One day we were with Kim and Bird and their crew. Kim was our Dive master and was wonderful both above and below the surface and Bird kept the topside in ship shape. Ricardo and Dave (I think that's the right name)was on the boat nicely helping us keep in order. On the second day we were with Ricardo as our dive master and he was alot of fun to dive with. He brought alot of humor to the boat and was serious about the dive profile. This is exactly what we needed. Thanks to all of you and we will see you back on the boat again. Great people and Great operators. Thanks again, Doug Burns

Comments: The discerning diver? I am one of them, if you are as well I think you will agree that Ed Robinson Diving adventures lives up to their reputation. We just spent two weeks in Maui and spent 10 days diving, Evelyn, Scott and DM in training pointed out spectacular shore dive spots, we also joined them for a few boat dives, I wasnt that thrilled to dive the back wall of Molokini, mostly because of what I had heard from others, "its awesome to dive in water that deep" I have done plenty of deep water diving both Military and as a civilian diver, the thrill of having that much water underneath me is gone. When I dive I want to see things, and boy did we. I like that I wasnt treated as a child on the boat, I am a PADI Professional and while I dont expect to be or want to be put on a pedestal, I do like to be treated as an adult, if I want to go explore something u/w for a min or two I dont want a divemaster banging their tank telling me I need to stay with the group. GREAT JOB Dave, Tiffany, Ricardo and Captain!!! You guys/gal made my trip. We will be back, and we will dive with ERDA again, though this time the guys I travel with have a little more experience and we will be on the boat sooner in our vacation than we were this time.
