    Diving on Molokai can be an extremely rewarding experience.  The waters are warm, the fish are abundant.  Take only what you need for dinner, we must conserve our finite resources.

    Many people come to Hawaii and fall in love with the place.  It is a beautiful location, isolated and in many ways hidden from the outside world.  The natural beauty and powerful spritual aspects of the islands can give an individual an amazing sense of peace and contentment. 

    The people of Molokai are as kind and giving as anywhere in the world.  They will take you in like family and welcome you – but do not mistake kindness for weakness.  Molokai has remained in a pristine state only because the people have fought to defend her time and time again.  They have fought the destructive forces of development, the big mainland corporates, as well as greedy individuals. 

    If you come to Molokai with dollar signs in your eyes and greed in your heart, you will be in for a rude awakening.  Come to Molokai with the utmost respect and appreciation for what you are about to experience and join in the fight to preserve a wonderful place.  Don’t ever forget why you fell in love with Molokai in the first place.

    In today’s world its easy to lose track of what is important.  The people of Molokai have not.  Molokai is a place where you will never be judged on what kind of car you drive or the size of your house, only on what kind of person you are inside. 

    If you visit Molokai, come with the right mindset.  You are a guest, show respect.
