Beautiful Maui Hawaii - Experiences
We recently took our 2nd trip to Maui Hawaii
We recently took our 2nd trip to Maui Hawaii. It was June of 2009. We decided to go to celebrate my birthday and my wife's upcoming birthday. We originally came up with the idea because our friends were going and we decided it would be fun to go as well. We had been to Maui before, a couple years before to get married and we really enjoyed it.
We spent a lot of time on this trip revisiting some of the places that we had enjoyed and also checking out some new places. We are a lot of good food and hung out with our friends. We also visited a place called Molokini. Molokini is a partially sunken volcano that has an abundance of life on and around it. You can go on snorkeling, scuba diving and fishing trips to Molokini. We decided that it would be fun to go scuba diving there.
My wife gets motion sick, so it's hard for her to go on planes, boats and sometimes cars. She took some Dramamine ahead of time to hopefully prevent any nauseous feelings. We got to the launch point near the beach, got on a boat and headed for Molokini. The ride out there was very bumpy and it soon became too much for my wife. She endured until we reached our destination and then the waters calmed down so she felt better.
We got our gear on and started snorkeling right near the base of Molokini. The waves were calm since we were in between Molokini and Maui so it was really nice. The fist and other sea life we saw was amazing. It was a lot of fun. We snorkeled around there a bit until the people leading the excursion decided we would have some snacks on the boat and head out to see some sea turtles.
We headed out to the spot where the sea turtles hang out, but it was in the middle of the ocean, so it was very choppy and the boat was bouncing all over. My wife was not feeling well again. We jumped into the water anyway and headed towards the group of people looking at the sea turtles. We swam out into the water and I noticed that my snorkeling gear was not staying attached to my head very well. The suction was being lost and I would get sea water in my mouth. This started to bother me a bit. I also didn't have a life jacket on, so I had to keep myself afloat by swimming and treading water.
While this was going on, my wife had enough and started swimming back to the boat because she felt sick. I was having major equipment trouble and was swallowing too much ocean water, so I headed back as well. I became very tired, very fast and was pushing myself hard to make it back to the boat. I was pretty far out from the boat and all by myself, as my wife was way ahead of me. I started to panic a bit and I was too far out to call for help. I struggled to make it back to the boat, using every ounce of energy I had and then some. With my last bit of energy I barely made it back to the boat.
While I was hanging onto the ladder, feeling like my lungs were on fire, almost having drowned, my wife started vomiting in the water from her motion sickness. The fish thought it was feeding time and hundreds of them swarmed us. It was gross, amazing and cool all at the same time. The boat ride back was very bad for my wife. She threw up over the side many times while all the other people stared at us. We eventually made it back.
It's pretty obvious that this was the worst part of the trip. It dampened that day a bit, but overall we love Maui and would go back whenever we can. We will probably stay out of boats from now on, since I almost drowned and my wife fed the fish while throwing up.
