The arrival of Dominion and Dauntless mark the beginning of a new era in Maui diving for Handicapped Scuba Divers. Greg Howeth and Akiyo Murata, Lahaina Divers owners, strive to provide the highest level of service and diving experience to all divers, those with disabilities as well as able-bodied divers.

The entire Lahaina Divers staff have become certified as Handicapped Scuba Association (HSA) Dive Buddies. The rigorous training sessions were conducted by Lahaina Divers Handicapped Scuba Association Instructor, Laura Scott. Staff Instructor, Jason Wolford is also an HSA Instructor. The training was held in a pool environment as well as in the open ocean. Each "Dive Buddy" had to simulate multiple handicap situations as the diver, and as the buddy. All came to have great appreciation for the effort involved and the satisfaction gained by those with disabilities choosing to become certified scuba divers.
